I’ve owned this watch a few years now and noticed it’s very much neglected from my rotation. Although I absolutely love the look, I usually pick the 39mm ROC over the 41mm since it just wears better. Does anyone else have the same sentiment?

I prefer 39 mm for this case. [nt]

I found the opposite

I used to have the 39mm version and switched to the 41mm version, just like yours because I felt the 39 wore too small for me. I have a 7 in wrist.

From a visual proportion standpoint I agree the 41 looks great.

Specially the dark dials since white dials tend to look bigger. (See picture) However comfort of wearing the small one seems better. It doesn’t move around the wrist as much without the bracelet being too tight. That’s my observation. I also have a 7inch wrist.

I prefer the royal oak in 39 but somehow for the chrono 41 works

My main issue with this reference is the lack of a display back which in other high horology chronographs is always a treasure to behold.

I feel exactly the same-if it had the 4400

I have the 1502 and love it to death. However I would buy the ROC 41 hands down. Just waiting for them to have the new inhouse chronomovement 4400 they introduced in the 11:59 in them. Might take a long time What do you think? Will it ever happen? PS If you never wear it change it! Image from Monochrome article on calibre 4400

That’s a fantastic idea. I think that’ll depend if the new movement is as slim as the Piaget movement. For me the extra slim profile is what makes the RO so special to wear. Maybe put the Bulgari chrono movement next? Ha ha [nt]
