Hi I am new to the hobbie and absolutely love it. However, I am looking for a new watch. Should I get the 42mm PO or the 45mm PO?

My opinion 45mm, just because i have it myself and like that it has a good size. First i was into the 42, but one of my friends has the gen and i think it is a little small. But it depends on your taste and of course your wrist :) Good luck and may i recomend Narrika PO. Great watch, great price.

My opinion 42,5 because 45mm is quite big.

So you have two answers and both are different. You need to decide that for yourself. Or buy both. I did that because I could not decide.

You can get the gen in both 42 and 45. I thought the 45 was big when i got it, but now i'm used to it. Unfortunately i think other watches (Rolex in specific) looks very small, and that's a pity, 'cause those are my favs.

Sorry for the crappy pic but this may give you an opportunity to compare sizes.

My writs is also less than 7 in. and the 42mm PO is perfect for my wrists in my opinion. I tried my buddy's 45mm, but it looks big...

I was very fortunate to get a 42mm PO with orange numbers and correct He postion from MR, and to be honest is one of my favourite reps. I tried on the Gen and thought it was a bit plain in the shop, but after owning it for a couple of weeks this has been one of my best purchases, it just grows on you. A fanastic watch.

buy it if you can find a good one, had it on all day, super watch.

Can/did you post pics of this 42.5mm PO with correct HEV position? I'm sure plenty of us would like to see this.
