Congrate ;) Finally you got it, wear it in good health!

it's 46.5mm i think ;) It looks bigger but from end-to-end, it's actually dame diameter (including the crown) as a Panerai 44mm 1950 case.


Merry X'mas!!

Hahah.. sure sure

am seriously thinking of getting a brown strap but kind of can't which to where to get. Either OEM or after market. There is a local (to SG) strap marker here.

Hmmm...if you don't mind spending a bit more, get the OEM, nice quality and you can have them change the strap for you too..

Thanks you all for your compliments.

I have taken many photos and only these few are presentable. Fortunately, they are acceptable.

lilpronaz, u given me another option. Thanks :) if they sell and it fits the deployant clasp, i might consider that too.

sshark,

Its waaayyy too big on your wrist. Or maybe its the angle of the shoot.
Looks more like a 60mm haha

Let just say, I had my  FREDERIQUE CONSTANT, and I find this watch too big (43mm) for my liking.

The lugs are way out of the wrist and always flip over to one side of my wrist.


Just my 2 cents
