The 40mm FF case does wear small, which I personally like, but understand it would wear too small for most. This goes back to my earlier point, they really should make the standard FF 42mm. It would be ideal for most people.
I spoke to the same NYC boutique manager as many of you about this as well and received the same response. Blancpain must know they are turning away hundreds, if not thousands, of potential customers worldwide by being stubborn on the 45mm sizing.
