176 Question

[DT14]

I have been thinking about a 176 or177 but have not been able to see one in person. My question is this - does a 176 or 177 wear "smaller" than other 44mm models. I am wondering this because it seems to me that watches with a matte type finish sometimes appear smaller than a similarly sized watch with a more polished look. Anyone with any thoughts on this? Truth is I would prefer the smaller look but would still like to try something larger than a 40mm. If there are any other recommendations of 44mm Pams that might wear smaller I would love to know. Thanks for any opinions on this.
