Few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to acquire an Opaline teak dial AT41.5mm

When I got it, I was underwhelmed. It was too big for a dress watch. It felt wrong.



And I decided it's not for me. Long story short, I sold it and got the 38.5mm same watch.

Very happy with my decision.

I did the same a couple of years ago but it didn't work for me. The AT cases were just too thick for me to wear comfortably.

But I'm glad it worked for you. It's a beautiful watch.

you are absolutely right to change it to the 38.5mm as it look better on your wrist.

Just got myself the 38.5mm in Blue, just love the light plays on the dial.
