Are there any 38mm in the current Journe catalogue?

Or no longer in production? I know there are 39mm, 40mm, and 40+mm currently.

To my knowledge, it's one 39 and 40 + 42 mm. Then, there are the Linesport 44 mm...

Was in boutique yesterday and enquired about 38mm (I have small wrists). No more 38mm. CS are 40mm and other models are available in 40mm or 42mm.
Elegance and Elegante different of course.

And, since the CB is still in the lineup, its size is 39 mm.

Ah yes true. It was never discussed to be honest like it’s not that achievable.
40mm wore very well for a small wrist, seems like a perfect size for many people to me. Assume 39mm would be very similar.

I have small wrists as well, that’s why I was wondering. I suspect the CB would be borderline for me. My next mission is to find one that I can try on.

I am in the same boat.

I would say my CB is about as big as I can wear.

I have found that within the 40 mm, the manual wind watches seem to wear a bit smaller than the automatic ones, probably due to a thinner form factor.

After spending a LOT of time looking at the two side by side, i did not think there was an appreciable difference in how they wore on the wrist (the dial size is exactly the same between the two). To me it was more about how the case diameter balanced the size of the dial. I went with 40mm b/c the 38mm seemed out of balance (the case border seemed a bit too thin). I suspect if you thought the 40mm looked large, you'd think the same bout the 38mm.

The CB wears noticeably smaller than the 40mm CS. I was surprised to find that but you can tell. Either wears well on me as both are quite thin.

I won’t attempt to convey it in pictures as the angle and distance etc will probably just exaggerate it. With that said when I got my CS I immediately noted it’s a touch bigger.
