F.P. Journe

Specifically for Resonance or Optimum…the 40 or 42? I’ve seen opinions on both sides. Curious which way you tend to see this one. Looking for opinions. Thanks in advance.

I have a big wrist and can easily pull off 42 but I think 40 mm looks nicer.

The 40mm Optimum is one of my dreams! In general, when Journe has offered the same watch in two different case sizes, I've always preferred the smaller of the two. Slimmer bezels and narrower lugs highlight the dials better, imo.

40mm all the way sir!

42mm should be the best option.

… what do we make of this recent auction lot description? I refer to the 3rd paragraph. ...  

I think the proportions of the RQ looks better in 40 mm.
