Actual size of IWC Portuguese 3714

[Omega467]

I really wanna get a nice dress watch and I love the design of the IWC Chronograph 3714.  The specs say the watch is 40.9 but in all the pictures that I have seen the watch seems much bigger, more like 45 or 46.  Does it appear that large because it doesn't have a bezel like most watches? Can someone actually measure the diameter of the watch please?

Thank you

I have a gen 3714-31 and a rep 3714-82. Both are 40,9 mm at the bezel, the case is a bit smaller with 39,1 mm. These models looks a bit bigger because of the thin bezel and therefore larger dial then for example the Rolex sub. Comfortable to wear because they are slim and have rounded lugs.
