It is not about big or small case sizes. It is about your wrist size. A balance look.

Agreed. After being able to try a few different sizes from friends, I settled for the 90s 36mm mid size. Perfect for my wrist!

Agreed.

As long as AP have options for those folks with both large and small wrists it’s all good

The herd has gravitated to toward larger and larger face watches to a comical degree. They will go smaller again, some of these big AP’s look “a bit much” and it is hard to exude class with a chunky blingy watch shouting at everyone in the room.
The 36 is perfection on my wrist.

And more often than not, the right watch is a 41mm RO

I don't think the smaller size will come back for sport watches. Most dress watches from big brands like Patek, ALS & VC start from 39 mm and up, sport watches normally go bigger.

I think there will be smaller watches in general. I wonder if the Code will also shrink.

That’s the point, the right fit depends on the wearer and the watch, and proclaiming one or the other size as the one true solution is pointless.

Given the size of e.g. the chrono movement and the case construction, there may not be that much room to shrink the current CODE. I think a separate smaller version is more likely. Hopefully, we’ll find out soon.
