How does the 38mm RO wear vs the new Daytona?

[Djoker48]

For those that have experienced both, does the 38mm RO wear the same, smaller or larger than the 126500 Daytona. Had the 11 reference and thought it was slightly too small. Found the 12 series was goldilocks. Thus don’t want to go back to a watch that wears smaller. Have a 6.5 wrist for context. Thanks!

it will wear basically the same or marginally larger

I do not have the measurements but the 38mm ROC looks and feels smaller on my wrist compared to 126500.

the dial is a lot smaller and that probably plays a big role in that feeling. lug to lug it's also smaller but since it's an integrated bracelet that top link kinda counts as part of the case when you wear it, so with that taken into account it should be the same or very slightly bigger. to me the 37mm 15450 is almost identical in size to the 116500 so the 38mm should be bigger with the pushers and extra mm. would be curious to see the numbers if someone has them though

this photo by salnuaimi in OPs other thread does a good job of showing it (with the 116500)
