·First off, hello everyone...
it's been a long while since I was regularly posting here ~ life, ups and downs, also: staying away somewhat reduced the endless pit of watch purchasing possibilities.
That said, I have been experiencing that itch to purchase a watch that I've wanted for a while but have always talked myself out of for two distinct reasons -
Price (isn't it usually that?)
and,
L2L (I tend to be quite OCD about lug to lug with 46.xx being my sweet spot and 48 being my absolute limit).
Finally the damn question...
I am strongly considering the hand-assembled 321 Ed White, and while I've finally braved up to the price of admission (pre-owned of course) I am still continually climbing back on the fence because of the 48mm L2L.
I own a couple Omega LE Heritage models, the Seamaster and the Railmaster, love them both but generally don't wear them because of the faux-tina but especially because of the classic lugs.
They fit me per se but they don't have that X factor like my other Omegas that feature lyre lugs.
So, for any current owners of the new Ed White...
1. Have you had any "adaptability" issues with the classic lug style on your wrist -- or was it just easy sailing and love at first sight?
2. If these same owners could chime in on also owning a Speedmaster with the lyre lugs and how the two different Speedmaster cases (321 Ed White & Professional models) suit them with regard to the lug styling & lug to lug length differences I'd appreciate it?
Thanks much 👍
