I had my choice of the 42 or 44mm bianco subs back in December, snagged the 42 and no regrets. I absolutely love it. Goes great with my 973 in black, which I’m also a fan of.
The 42mm choices all seem to be disappearing and has been said, they’re sticking with 40 and 44 (and up). I don’t mind - I’ve been gravitating towards smaller watches. Would love to give a hypothetical 40mm sub a shot.

My 21 year old son noted today that the 42mm 574 did not really "stand out" on my wrist. While that is a bit anti-Panerai, I took the comment positively. For me, a dressy watch should not be standing out (especially to a 21 year old). This is likely one of the more subtle watches in the Panerai line-up... Only concern with going smaller is the question of how tall? To go smaller one may be relegated to the Due-type WR of 30M so the watch does not become unbalanced/top heavy on the wrist.
