This would be my choice of 42mm too, I think this is stunning, closely followed by the vampire

I was originally going to buy the safari but after seeing this one in person, I changed my mind. Here are a few shots of mine.

The Havanna is also one of my favourite models! Congrats!

Thanks men. I’m going to try on a 44mm again before final decision. Just want to see it in comparison to my SD43. The diver is kind of off my radar, due to .....I just enjoy the SD43 very much, and I’m fairly certain that would be the case if I were to add the AP diver. That said, I’m leaning towards the ghost, as I love the fact of a CE bezel and the finish on that bezel is really sharp. I’m still debating between 42 and 44, but like I said, need to see sizes vs my SD43

You can’t go wrong with the ghost or vampire - but pleased you have some photos here of the Havana option as that is really stunning too.

The ghost is really nice too! Just saw one in the flesh earlier this week. It was sharp

Do you want a more bold color combination or just a neutral colorway?

I personally like the navy ROO 42 (either old one with white dial/blue subdial, or the newer navy/orange combo). Feels elegant, sporty, and a bit understated at the same time.

Good luck with the decision

Ok....thanks again for the help. Does anyone (I know it’s been talked/compared to death here) have a comparison of an SD43 or dssd against a 44mm ?
Pics and or thoughts? True size thought process, when looking at these two if you’ve got them? I’d seen a pic somewhere of the 42mm AP vs SD43 and they look identical. Just wondering how much , or if the 44mm AP is more SD43 size or dssd ?

Oh wow that's one hot looking watch. Not a combination that I would think that looks good, but damn!

For me the 44mm wears same size as the 42mm. The 44m sits flatter on the wrist and i actually like the way it sits more than the 42 which feels a bit ‘lumpy’. I never tried the 44mm for years because i thought i barely to pull off a 42mm but the first time i tried a 44m i bought it after years of only consider a 42 as my first AP. My wrist is 6.5in which is probably the minimum wrist size needed for 44mm but i have big forearms so its ok.

I really like the 'new' vampire or some call the dark knight... 26470SO.. nice black red combination with the ceramic bezel..

[rmlovett1]

Decision made....thank you all for the help & suggestions!
In the end, the colors and CE bezel of the newer vampire/dark knight, won me over. The 44mm was just a bit to overwhelming for my wrist, not sure if I would’ve been comfortable looking at how big it was compared to my other watches, but my first thought was ...too big! Maybe I’ll warm up to 44mm at some point, but this fits my 6.75in wrist nicely, and is very comfortable
