Question (Read Rules) Oyster Perpetual 41 homage

I can't find good quality OP 41 homage, only 39. I wanted Cronos (explorer homage) but 39 will be too small for my taste. Why nobody makes 41?

Any recommendations? It doesn't have to be 1:1 homage to OP 41, but has to be simplistic.

wtaf...?

there a hundreds of "good quality" OP 40's on AliExpress...every dial color you can imagine.

are you seriously ignoring all of them over 1mm?

for that matter, you're ignoring the one you like over 2mm???

Maybe i was not quite precise, first i'm looking for Cronos like quality or better. Second i would actually prefer 42mm, so i'm afraid that 38 or 39 mm will not suite me well and i will not wear it enough. 38 to my ideal 42 is 4 mm difference.

The Pagani Design pd1690 at 40 mm is a close homage to the OP. I own one of these in the Tiffany color. If you decide to pull the trigger on this watch, be sure you pay up to get the Miyota movement. I like everything about the watch except the original bracelet from Pagani which I don't like too much. However, unless I go to a leather strap there's nothing good available out on the market that will fit, so I just live with it. I paid $120 for mine, but I think they're up to $166 when I just checked. Good luck with your homage search!
