John,
Thanks for the clarification on the PO and your quick response. Now I’m tempted on adding the 42mm to my collection. When I walked out of the store with the full size SMP, I though I had made the wrong decision because it felt too big on my wrist. After a while, I got so used to the full size SMP, I had to retire my old TAG F1. Whenever I wear my TAG it just feels and looks so small that it bothers me. I think 42mm is just the right size for me. I wouldn’t buy anything smaller unless it’s a watch I will strictly wear with formal attire.
