That's a nice pair of ROs.

Whichever 26238 you get, suggest getting with or adding a bracelet.
The quick change system is so convenient, and the wear experience differs notably between a bracelet and strap.

Thanks everyone, I'll definitely consider a bracelet for the 26238. I just need to decide if the petite or mega tapisserie looks better on the Offshore.

I like the petite on 42 while preferring mega on 43. Looks like you have narrows it down to the 42mm, do note that if I recall correctly, petite is still engine turned while mega is stamped.

Have you considered the 43mm 26420 series? I have 26237ST and wore my buddy’s 26420CE quite a bit and the 43mm wears much better on the wrist given the curved crystal and bezel.

That's interesting to hear about the engine turned vs. stamped dial.

I think I looked at the 43mm many years ago and just wrote it off as too big. I feel like the 42mm is already at the borderline size wise for me and I don't have small wrists. Maybe I'll take a look at the 43mm again on my next visit. I did notice it's actually slightly thinner compared to the 42mm.
