The proportions are just perfect!
IMO, the 40mm versions are not as harmonious as they share the same movement size as the 37mm version, with a curved inner "bassin" to fit in a larger case. A marketing trick if you ask me...
Not even mentioning the hand overlapping with the larger dial....
Also, due to the fact that there is no bezel per say, the watch feels and wears much larger. Here is an illustration, with two 37mm watches:
Now regarding the material combinations, I don't think there is a single bad choice. I spent months debating whether I should get the dark grey or silver version. I got one, and I am still attracted by the other one 🤪. I even considered the yellow gold one as this one is seen as the "original" one even though I am not a yellow gold person.
Lastly, your partner's comment is very legitimate: in the end, with a Tradition on your wrist you won't care about how legible it is. Every time you'll look at it you'll be mesmerized by the beauty of this movement and will forget about checking the time 🤩.
