I've got a fairly large (read:fat) wrist, 7.5 inches if I keep the strap tight. So, I think one of the older 40mm references would be best.

Is there a reason that I ought to consider the newer 39mm models instead? Better movement maybe?

No love for the Master Control?

Well, I found one purchased from an AD ~2011, and recently serviced by JLC for a little over 4k. Thinking I'm going to pull the trigger.

I think the Master Control date is a great watch. I have a 7 inch wrist and it fits me quite well. I think you will do well with one.

Is anyone able to comment on the standard master control strap length? Is it too long for a 6 3/4” wrist? Or in other words will I have to punch a new hole in the standard length strap?
