Re: Mid-size PO vs. Full-size SMP

: John,

: Thanks for the clarification on the PO and your
: quick response. Now I’m tempted on adding
: the 42mm to my collection. When I walked out

: though I had made the wrong decision because
: it felt too big on my wrist. After a while,
: I got so used to the full size SMP, I had to
: retire my old TAG F1. Whenever I wear my TAG
: it just feels and looks so small that it

: size for me. I wouldn’t buy anything smaller
: unless it’s a watch I will strictly wear
: with formal attire.

I completely understand what you are saying. I thought my first Omega (my Bond SMP) was too big for my 6 3/4" wrists until I wore it for a few days. Then I got used to it and bought more watches of this size. I, too, don't buy anything larger than 42mm.
