45mm; but it wears well, I have a 6.75" wrist. I had a Zenith Stratos of the same size and sold it as it didn't wear right.

I have the Fifty Fathoms Annual Calendar too. It is thick watch and stands quite proud of the wrist, particularly on the standard sailcloth strap. This is more of an issue than the size of 45mm. I ended up getting a Blancpain Alligator strap which seems to work better.
The other option now available for this watch is a Blancpain SS bracelet.

It is thick yes, the sapphire caseback added mm that didn't need to be added; I was quite surprised when I stood it next to the utgoing standard FF chrono.

I'm loving the sailcloyh now, especially as it's on a deployant. I have a bespoke rubber strap for summer though - very thickly padded at the head ends which balances it nicely.

Loving my Damasko, the case steel just doesn't mark, wish other high end watches would use it too

I'm bucking the dress down period at work with this 70's Omega.

HNY Everyone !

My new Oris TT3 limited edition arrived on the 28th just in time to see the new year in on squeeze in the box next to the GMT2/Panerai/Chopard MM/G-Shock. Just got a 997 so the 997 connection was appealing (limited run of 997 pieces). More details here; http://www.oris.ch/en/sponsoring/motor-sport/oris-... (Orks PC wont let me upload a pic - will try on the ipad later :>( !)

I tracked a 'new old stock' jobbie in the US and when it arrived I didnt get a request for the duty - does this mean its 'slipped through' - I've bought other things from the US and the carier made me cough up before they delivered it..Cheers Nat

Very nice. Is that an XL model or do you have really small wrists? Could just be the camera angle.

[Martin_M]

There is no xl model as far as I'm aware. The Black Bay is bigger than the Pelagos though.

i think that the black bay is 42mm; didn't look too big when i tried it on and my wrists are on the size chart for women!

New GGB ZeroZero strap on my UX, the red stitching is a perfect match. Well chuffed!

In case you're interested, there's a black dial version which is still available.

This one gets worn very infrequently to be honest, but when it's on, it's a cracker with a fantastic bracelet and ETA auto movement.

Oh, and there's also a black dial GMT version too.
