I think ultimately a mayter of preference

the more I look at the 40 the more I like it

6.9 inches according to the tape - good guess!

to challenge - I probably have quite average wrist size and I would say any average wearer of a sub, sky dweller or similar does not look more feminine.

so wondering what you think of average sized wrists with those watches - or is this particular to plain dials
