·I haven't tried it on a strap, though its diver style cousin which also takes the same bracelet is currently on an Uncle Seiko tropic... I really like the feel of the bracelet. Here they are alongside a couple of other Lemania powered watches, shown for size comparisons... 😉
It's quite thick, at least compared to the size of the case:
But comparable with the Speedmaster in overall thickness:
Here's the movement:

·It looks a bit thick because the sides are so flat - it's about 13mm tall, but since it's only 36mm across (excl pushers & crown) it wears really well.
I think both of mine are 1970/71 - I can't remember where I found that out, but it was probably an online estimate based on serial number range. I haven't bothered ordering a Tissot extract.
TBH, €1000 is a good price for that watch in that condition, if you like the look of it.

·Hi all, it arrives!
I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but I must say it is stunning and fun to wear!
Yes it is thick, but the small diameter make it works fine on my wrist.
Now, I’m about to send it for servicing... but some of you told me that it may be interesting to let it as it is because it is almost NOS... what is you thought about it? Am I right saying I want to service it and enjoy wearing it?

·Congrats - it looks very nice! I would say, wear it (carefully) for a few days before sending it off to service...

·Guys, when using a leather bracelet, can I use classic spring bars or should I always use spring bar for the « hole »?

·Hi all, is it me, or does the reading of the chronograph is not easy?
Let me explain:
I let the chronograph all night, this is the chronograph position. How to be sure if I should read 11h17min or 11h47min?

·You have to look to the hour counter to see if the hand is just after the index(11h17) or near the next one (11h47).
Regarding readability, nothing is better than Lemania chrono will central minutes counter expect digital watch...
