I happen to prefer the 38mm case size myself, I like the aesthetic of it over the 42mm. I'm sure there will be others who prefer the 42mm though...
Enjoy and it is in great company BTW, that VC Patrimony Traditionnelle is possibly my favourite in the current VC line up.
The GO ain't too shabby either! Having owned a couple of GO's over the years, I am a big fan of most of their watches.
Again congrats on a lovely piece from Peter, I know you'll enjoy it immensely,
Cheers,
Tim
