When is a 42mm considered too large? I have 7.25" wrist size and think that's narrow but I'm now wearing a 43mm watch.I have interest in a dive watch, but have never bought one. I am most interested in a vintage IWC Porsche Design Ocean 2000. It's got the domed sapphire crystal I so crave, and of all the boring dial variants, I like this one with the script International Watch Co. Schaffassen. 42mm may be too big for my wrist, though for a dive watch of its depth resistance, it's relatively thin.
My second choice is a Seamaster b/c there are a few versions under 40mm, even if barely. As I have said, I really like the coaxial movement. It's a nice modern advancement to an anachronistic product.
I would second your second choice. If you're want accuracy, get the Seamaster. They have different colors and are readily available. And don't pay retail...but you probably know that already.
