I'm still on the fence. Maybe a visit to the AD is in order. I know I won't find a Schumi there but can try on a 44mm.

He's going to wonder why I always walk in but never buy anything!!

Go with the 44s. The quality is much better (especially the FC44) and it is a gorgeous piece. Trust me when I say you can wear it without a problem.

Am very tempted to get the FC 44mm myself. Is the rep accurate if compared to the Gen? What are the obvious flaws/difference of the rep?

Have been reading and searching around but can't find any clear answers to them... Appreciate for the help in advance guys

Schumi in the house! A little large but not goofy looking at all. My significant other confirmed it looks fine and she would def tell me if I looked like an idiot with it on!

One question for 44mm owners - I wear diver and 42mm ROOs on diver strap on last hole (very comfortable) - will I need XS strap for 44mm ROO or will I be able to wear it also on last hole on regular strap ?

regards

You can wear it comfortably on the last hole ;)

Aesthetics of the watch play a big factor as well. Colors and case material can make a large difference in size appearance.

Generally speaking I prefer the 42mm. But I also just bought a 35mm JLC master ultra thin, so I like watches to look proportionally right on my wrist. With 44mm you have RBII, novelties, gp? and schumi. All of which I think look different sizes on the wrist, with RBII looking smallest out of the bunch which is why I prefer it. But I'm also considering a novelty 44mm because of the style.

Basically, don't get pushed around by size too much, if a watch really speaks to you buy it, You'll be happy. If it feels to big, it'll sell easy as AP's are poplar here. I was afraid ROO's would be too big when, I then bought one and ended up with 6 or so at one time, you get used to it [emoji106]

I was a bit afraid of the 42mm ROO to begin with. Ordered one, perfect size. Very comfortable on the wrist and it does not wear bigger then my 44 Pam. Seeing the pictures in this thread I am pretty certain I can easily wear a 44mm AP now. Thanks for those contributing piccas. Schumi...here I come :)
