    Hi, i am considering to buy this watch: 215.90.44.21.99.001; or maybe 215.90.46.51.99.001
    If you got any of this or this sizes, can you please put a picture to see how it looks on a hand. Preferably a bit from a side, so I can see the thickness.
    thx in advance :)

    If pics help you make the choice, then in my book thats a miracle! In most cases I would buy a watch without going into a shop to try it on but in this case, as others have told me on this forum before, I would find an AD or a dealer near you and try them physically

    I've tried both on my flat 7.5" wrist. Due to the shape of my wrist the lugs of the 45.5 are well inside the outer parameters, so after that the 43.5 seemed a little small. The 2mm makes more difference than you might think. Definitely try them both on for yourself before you buy though.

    I wear a 45.5 3313 POC on a just under 7.5 wrist just fine, but 1st gen PO wear smaller due to the lower height, a 2nd gen POC looks to tall on me. That being said wrist size is not the only factor. You really need to try both on.

    Very true. I think the fact that I'm 6'2" plays a part too.

    So help me decide. 45,5mm is jsut way too thick. Also wish there was black/white titanium version.

    I agree with this response. But if you cannot afford the chrono he 43.5 evens out the see saw of decisions a good compromise

    If you have a problem with the thickness what about a first gen? The third gens are thinner then the second gens. Looks like you looked at both 2nd and 3rd gen. That Chrono is a 2nd gen.

    I think the first gen watches are at a price low point right now.

    The new 2016 are thicker than previous versions. I have a 6" wrist and the 43.5mm is perfect on the wrist. I also wear 42mm and this one is also great fit on wrist.

    The 45.5mm with new 2016 models are way thick and big for my wrist the reason i skipped the Deep Black. :).

    Currently i am having this model: 215.32.44.21.01.001

    And i am very satisfied with the look and wrist match.

    Go for the 43.5mm and you will never regret! ;-)

    How does that rubber work on the bezel? do you get a feeling that it might fell off?

    My understanding is that the 3rd gens(2016) wear thinner then the 2nd gens...

    No...they are made in a way just if they are embedded inside.

    As per the Discussion with OB Guy, the orange rubber on the bezel is very strong and durable to heat and other elements and not only will not fall but also hard to get wear ;').

    Enjoy this Version if you csn buddy.

    im not so sure about that. I thought the updated case design made them wear thinner and the cases are a bit thinner.

    This is the (obvious) difference

    I just thought I would add this for amusement

    Why does a GMT need to be so much thicker? Are the movements thicker? As far as I could tell all the latest Co-Axial calibers are 29mm diameter (regardless of GMT or not).
