I think the 41mm looks fine. I have a 6" wrist (although flatter vs rounder) and I felt the 39mm RO and ROC were both a little small.

Of course, I normally wear a GMTc, which has much more wrist presence, so it's all relative and comes down to personal preference.

Out of curiosity, how would you compare e 15400 to the GMTIIc? Just curious because I have a ROC and was thinking of getting a GMT. Thanks

I can't speak to the 15400 because I haven't seen one in person yet, but I know the 15300 and the the 39mm ROC feel significantly smaller when compared to the GMT.

The entire RO line seems much thinner with smaller dials than modern Rolexes, so you don't get that same feeling of wrist presence, which I think psychologically makes them appear much smaller.

The ROC in particular feels small because of the subdials, which make it appear busier and more compact. After trying the 39mm ROCs on multiple times, I was convinced the 41mm would be perfect on me since it would wear more closely to the GMT.

All that being said, I really think the 39mm ROC was fine on me but I just needed more time to get used to it. If I was going for a normal RO though, I get the feeling the 39mm would be just as appropriate as the 41mm.

Thank you for all the kind words.
This is after all a very significant purchase for me and I am enjoying every moment of it.
Here's another wristshot taken with a better camera...

Enjoy the moment. It gets worse when you start needing another AP.
