I did see one post bemoaning the size, but the excitement here is palpable.

You mean 38.5 mm ! I'll have a big smile on my face when I wear that white dial "women's" watch.

Ha. This one will be hot for a - very - long time. No complains on size here. But I do think the 116520 models look more chic and less sporty.

Omega calls the updated 39.5mm Planet Ocean a ladies watch, and calls the updated, now 43.5mm Planet Ocean a gents watch. While Rolex calls the 40mm (as advertised) Daytona a gents watch. As a guy cursed with thin wrists, I'd like to think Omega's wrong and Rolex's right

I am so happy they didn't go 42mm. 40mm is the perfect size IMO. Well done by Rolex with the Daytona
