Congratulations it looks awesome. I’ve been looking at those for some time and I’m tempted even if it’s a little big but I think it’ll be OK. What do you think of the size and thickness? the movement is also awesome on this one, It looks great and great power reserve.tyd450 wrote:the collection refresh continues!
Merde Alors! Et Vive Les Francais!

Thanks guys!
Brice, it really doesn't seem to wear that thick to me on my wrist.... it measures 15.6mm thick but I just measured with my calipers and 3mm of that is in the domed crystal and domed display caseback crystal, so from the top of the bezel to the bottom of the caseback where the display sapphire starts measures 12.5mm.
The caseback kind of drops into my wrist a bit so it doesn't really wear super tall
here I am flexing my wrist a bit to get it to pop up more
So it is definitely thick, no getting around that but I would say it wears great for a thick watch. As far as general size goes, my wrist is about 7.5" so I think the size is great at 43mm.
The dial is amazing, going from dark inky black to a more grayish sunburst when the light hits it right. The bezel action is awesome too, unlike any other watch I have felt, a very distinct feel with no backplay. The clasp so far is probably the best I have ever experienced with it's push button extension and ratcheting action to push it back in. And it is very small overall, especially coming from the clasp on the sub and seamaster.

I remember when Dom got one of these waaaay back when I had the Orient revolver. Yeah it's been forever since I've seen one!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Never thought I'd like an alligator strap on a diver, but loving this Panerai OEM gator strap on my PAM914

Looks great! Gator compliments Few divers; like swapping a strap for a bracelet ~a new watch~
For a few, leather on a dive watch can't be! ...it works, the thicker the better; but not with water sports.

An fxd's like Mr. Edward Hyde to that duo. They're both up-to-date phenomenal and bound to satisfy. The fxd's so subdued, it or the like would be a great counterweight. It could be the subtle giant I'm looking for; I'm stuck on that seamaster though, just wow.tyd450 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 3:34 pmthanks!

Enjoy the honeymoon.
Beautiful lume by the way!
