I love the plexi myself. Just get the 422 if you don't.

What a shame. The plexi is what really appeals to me about the 372!

Who me? I was talking about another B I know. But oh yeah, didn't you love the 372 only to sell it because of the plexi micro scratches?

Maybe. Still on my comfort edge. 449/425 appealing.

There will be plenty of plexi available is my guess.

love the 425....SLC + gold hands + pig.

the lack of crown guard + wire loops will have it wearing smaller than the 372, but, the wider dial and more empty dial might have it seem bigger? dunno.

Mik - let me ask - does your 232 wear smaller than the 372 did on you? I'm curious as to if I can pull off a 47mm rad. My wrist is 6.5 and I think you once said you're about that too.

PS - I prefer the plexi on the 372. If they make sapphire they should keep the numbers low. It would have to compete with the prices of the plexi secondary market and that wouldn't be good for OP me thinks.

Cheers

I found 425 wears smaller than 372, but keep in mind that the 425 is still a thick watch

If you have 6.5" wrist, its likely that you will see "lugs hanging"

I am thinking maybe the the 514 is easier to wear to small wrist because of the thinner case. but i haven't seen one in person yet.

The 514 is what I've been thinking about actually. Though I love the Cali dials.

I might pop into the AD since I have to go to the mall anyway tonight. I feel bad trying stuff on there. Though I have bought from them multiple times in the past. I would buy grey or preowned, which is my preference nowadays.

232 wears small for a 47mm. It wears smaller than a 243 which is 44mm. I have 6.5" wrists and it is definitely smaller than the 372.

Guys, do you have an idea if they will stop producing the 372 with plexi? Mine says hi on 6,8" wrists...
