SPARKYMARKY Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 ordered a 45mm upo recently. got the watch looks great. but it doesnt look as big as i expected. i know the 45mm version is suposed to have a 22m wide bracelet which mine has. but which part do you measue for the 45mm? turning the watch over and measuring the entire width including the winder and its about 46mm????

dolphinfreindly Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I think the case size is minus the crown (winder). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKYMARKY Posted April 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I think the case size is minus the crown (winder). ok well if i turn the watch over and put the tape measure just under the crown/winder so that its measuring the case completely from one end to the other without the crown/winder then its 45mm. i was wondering though whether its just the bezel thats supposed to 45mm????? obviously this is a bit smaller than the whole case ? ahhh the bezel seems to measure 43mm ishh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Send it to me mate....I'll measure it for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I have just measured my Planet Ocean which is a 45mm, and to the outside of the bezel it is also approx 43mm. I think on the PO's they measure it to the casing rather than the bezel, therefore the integrated crown guards make up the extra 1.5-2mm of the measurement.

SPARKYMARKY Posted April 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) right some pics. only have a camera phone so these are the best i can get- closeups just fuzz out. i think the watch looks bigger in the pics than in real life- the watch just doesnt feel that big to me like others say it is. click on the pics, then again until you get the magnifying glass and they should be a bit bigger then...hopefully Edited April 11, 2009 by SPARKYMARKY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 Toilet pic - that is totally new quality here! As for measurements - I believe dimensions are being measured from 10 to 4 to make exact case size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sylar_watches Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I say more wrist shots while people on the toilet... We could have something like a 'Toliet Tuesday' themed wrist thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPARKYMARKY Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Think that's the last time i take my phone to the toilet with me....lol. btw, compared the omega with a breitling navitimer side by side and it is a fair bit bigger than that so i think it must be the 45mm version.

bluerex Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 hahaha the toilet pic is a crack up Its a 45mm. 41mm would look a lot smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 hahaha the toilet pic is a crack up ...or is that crack down? As to size...looked a lot smaller than 45mm...OOOOH...you were talking about the watch... Yeah...some say measure the CASE from 10-4 only to avoid confusion of including the crown guards in the measurement...but you want to make sure not to include the lug horns either. You can measure from 9-3 too...just don't include the crown guards or the crown (winding thing). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
