I prefer the PT blue dial version I saw in Singapore but this red gold version is also beautiful!
Your wrist size seems to be the same as mine and it looks like 44mm fits quite well surprisingly. I remember I tried the LM 1 and felt it was too big and hence when the LM 101 (40mm) was released last year I was so excited I ordered it on the spot.
Looks like 44mm may not be unacceptably big for me for the LM. I will go and try again 
Cheers
