PM Daytona wears surprisingly bigger. Although the PM (WG, RG and PT) cases are technically 0.9mm larger than the SS and YG cases, it really wears a lot larger. The SS in my opinion is the perfect size for a 6.5"-7.0" wrist.

Congrats on scoring a Dayonta! The smaller case size is a top 3 reason the Daytona is my favorite and most wanted chrono

So, generally speaking, the PM Daytona wears closer to 40mm despite still being a 38.5x mm watch. And, the stainless Daytona wears more like a 39mm.

I don't see Daytona size increasing unless Rolex makes a larger movement to push the totalizers outward to match a larger dial and case. Since this is highly unlikely, the 4130 dictates the current Daytona overall size and appearance.
The PM (WG, RG and PT) Daytona measures as follows:
Case (diagonal from 10-4): 39.5mm
Case including crown: 43.0mm
Bezel: 38.4mm
Thickness: 12.35mm
Lug to lug: 47.46
