That looks fabulous, the blue ( my favorite color ) is stunning!
Congratulations! What size is your wrist, I’d be worried that 38mm is too small , but it looks perfect on your wrist!
Thanks Larry! Blue my fav too
As someone who’s been through the entire drill of 42 mm blue Laureato first, before the 38 mm version : My wrist is 7 inches . Could I pull the 42 mm off? Sure I could. But after about a year of ownership, I felt it wore too big, so I moved it on. Like most watches , pics can be deceiving . But especially these 2. Highly recommend you try them on first. The 38 mm, pictured here, will take some time to get used to, especially if you are used to wearing 40-42 mm watches. But for me, 38-40 is my sweet spot!
Sometimes we have to go through that learning curve, in order to find the sweet spot. You’ve picked a winner and new favorite I suspect.
Especially I do
I have a thick skull . And speaking of which , sometimes I feel like I need to get my head examined when it comes to watch logic / decisions 🙃 It is, a very special one indeed , thanks for your kind words
“Getting used to” …
Exactly 💯
I have been telling the collectors in my GP FB group the same thing. The mind’s eye gets used to a certain size and when trying on a 38 mm size, it may be best to NOT wear a 42 mm prior. It will bias your decision.
After a while, one will get used to a variety of sizes for different watches.
This is especially true for folks like you they have a 7” wrist. Medium sized and you can wear smaller as well as bigger watches.
For some they have smaller wrists, a watch that it too big for them, with lugs protruding is a no no IMHO.
Also wrist girth alone is not enough… wrist shape is another factor. Not everyone has a flat wrist top. Some have more rounded wrists and though big in girth, may not have the flat “platform” of the wrist to suppprt larger case sizes watches.
Finally, some wear watches closer to their hand 🖐️ vs others they were close to their forearm. Again, this affect how a watch will look.

Thank you!
This is what I call elegant and sporty at the same time - A most versatile piece ! 👍🏻
Thanks Mark!
A lot of hoops to jump through , but very worth it! The patience and persistence has paid off ! 👍🏻
IMHO, It really depends on more than case diameter alone
That’s probably why the 38 mm silver dial didn’t feel “right” to you.
Many nuances beyond case size alone … (unfortunately).
