For me it strikes the ideal balance between the prior 39mm size and the larger brethren of the ROO line. The prior size was too dainty for me when compared to Rolex, Panerai, JLC and others in my experience. When the submariner was upsized to it's current ceramic version there was of course an outcry from traditionalists, but there was also a noticeable difference in weight and wear. The case proportions also grew out of balance with the bracelet according to some. I reference that change just as a comparison, in that I don't find this upsize to be as dramatic a difference in "feel" and wear . .. while the case lines and bracelet proportion is still spot on as well. I had to a link and a half in order to size it correctly and would ideally still love some sort of clasp micro-adjustment, but otherwise I find it ideal. Good luck in your decision.

Just wondering if anyone who has the new 41mm ROC could share there opinion on the watch ? How does it wear compared to the 39mm, if youv worn the 39mm model. Also if anyone could post some pics that would be great. I really like the look of the RG on a b...

Everything about this watch is exactly as I'd hoped. You do have to make sure the size works for you, as it definitely wears larger than the 39mm chronos. But, in my opinion, the 39mm chronos wore a little too small on my wrist. ...

I just saw them again in Geneva.

Last year I handled them briefly and was thoroughly impressed. Here is the version I am most smitten by... the LE Leo Messi in RG and tantalum... ...

thanks

Thank you gents for those great pics. Do you find that the bracelet also increased in width along with the case ? Or is it still the same size as that on the 39mm model ?

They are different Roger.

The 26320 did increase in width, and is not interchangeable with the old reference.

Rose Gold 41mm, white dial Royal Oak

I just bought this last month. I was wearing Zenith 38mm (Rose Gold too) before. But, after I bought a Panerai 44mm, it change my taste. I start to like larger case. And, Royal Oak 41mm became my first choice. I like it very much. It is good for casual an...
