Has anyone actually worn the 42mm ELP? How does it wear on the wrist?

Vintage chrono + diver could equal a Heuer Autavia, either an 11630P or 11063 Diver 100

It wears bigger by about 1mm, so the 38mm wears like 39, and the 42 like 43. The IWC wears big too but it's a really nice dressy chrono.

I can't match the impressive pieces others here are showing you, but if you do pick a white-faced diver, welcome to the club. I don't think there are many of us around. 😀

Thank you for that info, that's really helpful. Been going nuts googling wrist shots of both case sizes.

I always seem to have an eye on the Junghans Meister Chronoscope. The case is 40mm.

How about these?

Not mine, but I have this exact Breitling - was a college graduation gift and definitely my favorite among my collection.

Or, since this is Omega forums, perhaps a CK2998 would fit the bill.
