Still agree with Wes, glad this watch is in 40mm. After having a bunch of big fat Omegas that I sold and a 16600 along with my DSSD I have no desire to walk into into an AD an choose between three sizes especially when the 42mm doesn't even provide a technical reason for being big except to fit in the middle.

There were bound to be people that wouldn't be happy but more people who wanted 42mm will likely try this watch on at 40mm and say the size is okay vs if the size were 42mm most people would immediately say nope, it's too big or heavy and would not make the compromise. Even the Deepsea actually wears smaller than 44mm and looks closer to most 42mm models, like the AP Diver which looks physically bigger(than the DSSD) on the wrist although more comfortable.
I know I wouldn't consider it at all, but at 40mm, I'm sure to buy it. The same thing that happens with SubC now.
