I used to own the Chronograph, and loved it a lot.
I have no problem with the size, 42 or 40,5 mm.
What I meant was that I hope that this trend of smaller watches will be all but not ephemere.
And once again, I have no problems with bog watches: The Amvow II with its 44 mm, the Polaris, and so on are cool watches, big, but sporty watches.
If I want to go on a dressy watch, then I would prefer a smaller one.
Best, and welcome here!
Nicolas.
