·I think the photo there could be a bit misleading - due to how the wrist is flexed slightly differently.
The FOIS crystal is very prominent and I think it is a bit boxier and rises higher on the wrist

·Have two 3861 moonwatches and a 321 EW, the Ed White definitely sits a bit taller than 3861s. Depends on how you look at it, sometimes I think the more pronounced wearing experience of EW constantly reminds you that you have a special piece on your wrist. But if you want the absolute best-wearing Speedmaster, IMO the 3861 Speedy Pros are hard to beat, which is why I haven't sold off my 3861 Hesalite after getting the EW.

First of all, it’s nice to see someone wearing the 321 on a non-metallic bracelet. Shoot. I would’ve original said my max height for a watch was 12.7mm, but than I discovered the 3861 actually wears quite low, even when loose.

·The ones in the picture are all the 321? Yes, btw that’s exactly the two watches (321 or 50th) I’m in between.
In terms of thickness (and depending on where and how accurately people measure), I read 13.4 for the new FOIS, 14 for the old FOIS, 13.7 for the Ed White and 13.18–13.5 for the 3861. Aside from the new FOIS, I have worn all of those and not noticed a huge issue. I sold my black dial 3861 (Sapphire), but it was a nice watch. I like the 2012 FOIS, good value watch.
