Hi guys,

I have a Colt II and like it but I think its just barely too small. It most definitely wears smaller than 41.1mm. I was thinking about trading it in for a SuperOcean, but wanted some opinions on the difference between the two. Specifically, it states that its 42mm but i'm wondering if that may wear small too. Any help would be appreciated!

Its a bit thicker which will give it some heft, but its no much larger than the colt. If you dont like the size of one, you probably wont like the size of the other. Go after a Steelfish if you want a jump in size.

TBH .5mm is not going to make that much of an impression, unlike the Rolex 16610, and the 116610 maxi dial both 40mm but the 116610 looks like a proper watch next to it it's also 40mm at the lugs which makes a difference .

what about a SOH 46mm on mesh now that's a good sized watch and wears very well, i have one in bronze and i must admit get's the most comments, it looks pure class.

Traded it in for a Steelfish with TradeInWatches.

Thanks for the help guys. For being 41.1, that Colt just didn't wear like the size it was. I had a jeweler tell me he thought it looked between 38-40 until he measured it.
