Re: Side Profile Sat, 04 November 2017 23:10 Go to previous messageGo to previous message

I've would argue that it's not only the thickness of their cases, but how their casebacks "protrude" below the sides of the cases. I've tried on some Speedmasters and you would immediately notice an annoying deep gap between the bottom of the side of the piece and the top of my wrist. Yet, on others, they would sit fine on my wrist with no noticeable gap.

This was a concern I expressed with my AD when I ordered the watch. So, I had some anxiety regarding this. But, I must say I was pleasantly surprised and quite pleased with the side profile:

Speedy36

Speedy38

Speedy37

Hopefully, these photos properly highlight the side profile and address your concerns.

Kind Regards,

Mark
