Following up on Brice's post. The Remora has a much lower profile on the wrist. It is only 13mm vice 16 or so for the Moray

Reason I ask is I like a watch that is a little bigger than that. I know it is thinner also, but when you wear the remora, does it feel a lot smaller?

Yes. It feels a lot smaller because its case and bezel diameter are smaller and as mentioned above the watch is not as tall. Also I think with the same dimensions the moray may wear a tad bigger due to its shape/proportions n

for obvious reasons based on the difference in sizes between the 2 watches,as mentioned by Brice,the 2 will differ as far as looks and how they wear...but the Remora wears larger than 42mm imho....I believe this may have been what you were looking for...

Yep, ... agree with both Brice and Oscar here.  That cushion case design of the Moray does indeed have it wearing just a bit larger for a 44mm piece. 

...BUT....the Remora also wears a bit larger than your typical 42mm diameter watch due to that nice, vintage, hidden-lug case design. 

If you MUST have a watch that is at least as large as the Moray, the Remora will wear a bit small for you...but, IMO the Remora is not a small watch.  If you like watches in this size category (42-44mm), you will enjoy the Remora.

Here are some wrist shots of both on my ~ 7.25" wrist (although I hesitate to recommend you make decisions based on wrist shots since the overall perspective can be greatly affected by how close the camera is to the watch when the pic is taken, but here are a few anyway...hope they help)...
