Like you, I have found 39-40mm ideal for me. I have one Panerai I wear, and it is the 47mm PAM372. I have a flat wrist, and so it sits comfortably.
BUT, you start wearing an Audemars Piguet 15202 Royal Oak for a while, and you realize it is perfect on your wrist. The 39mm Royal Oak Chronograph is just about as nice for my tastes, but a little thicker. Mine is on a strap and I really enjoy it. I have tried on a 26320 and it does look a bit large for me.
In seems to be quite perfect on your wrist

15202 winding sound
By: kcinemod : January 30th, 2015-08:19
Hello, this is my first post. I just purchased a beautiful brand new 15202. I notice a light clicking sound each time I wind the crown. Is this characteristic of this movement? I am hoping some other 15202 owners would be able help. Many thanks! Domenick ...
Domenick, welcome!

Congratulations on your 15202. Great choice if I do say so myself! Sounds fine. Mine clicks too. Best, CaliforniaJed ...

less than 2 weeks old. Yes, there's a click when winding. Best, Kari and congratulations - 15202 is really a fantastic watch and I love it more and more, day after day.

I also have a 15202, and as the others have mentioned, the sound is normal. I look forward to a nice wrist shot when you get to it! Best regards, Michael
Thank you guys!

I don't have an AP so I don't know the click sound but I believe you got your answer :) Just wanted to congratulate you on having this fantastic Royal Oak! The most iconic in their modern collection IMHO :) Your photos are great! Thanks for sharing :) Enj...

Thanks to all who replied! I am enjoying this watch a lot. I also have a blue dial 15400 & black 26320. Now they feel too heavy. I going to explore strap options for the 26320.
I like the black dial 26320.

I have an older Royal Oak Chronograph (in the smaller 39mm case) and find it to be a wonderful change of pace to the 15202.
The RO chronographs look great
By: kcinemod : January 31st, 2015-15:49
The RO chronographs look great. I keep thinking that I should have gone for a 26300 though. The 26320 case and bracelet are heavy so hopefully a strap will help make it more comfortable to wear. I wore 44-47mm Panerai's for almost fourteen years and I thi...
Great photo Domenick.
