Moving from an AP Diver to the new chronograph

[Bartolo]

I sold off my 15720ST.OO.A027CA.01 diver and purchased a 26420CE.

To me, the 43mm ROO wears a bit smaller; I prefer it on my wrist by a wide margin.

I have an older 42mm ROO that seems to wear so much smaller than the 41mm ROC's i've seen. I think it has something to do with the thickness of the bezel vs. the area of the dial. The 41mm ROC dial seems like a dinner plate on my wrist (though i've heard black ceramic makes it look smaller). i'm hoping for a ceramic release in the 39-40mm range in the future.

Just to confirm, you're comparing the older 42mm Offshores to the 41mm Royal Oak chronos? Are you comparing the 42 ROO to the new 43 Offshores?

What made you move from the 15720st to the new Offshore? I'm now considering just upgrading from my older black diver to the new 15720st reference with green dial.

Which dial color did you have on your diver?
