First impressions: It wears smaller than I thought a 40 mm with virtually no bezel would. Maybe because the lugs are so short, reducing the case's presence and increasing the bracelet/strap's travel across the wrist. Here next to a Mooncase for comparison. Focus on the lugs.



To make the lugs that short, there's a "divit" in the case to make clearance for the springbars! I kid you not!


The lume is cool and remains legible all night. Oddly enough, it looks really big when looking at the lume alone! Whatever illusion is going on disappears.


Luv the dome crystal, vertical symmetry. elegance, and simplicity. YaY!

Looks great on the Millanese I must say

1925 Cushion. By the way, take a look at the high-resolution image as well. I still can't believe the detail that this iPhone SE's camera captures.

I just swapped out the original dark blue strap on my GM for a dark brown OEM Omega. I had expected them to be the same, but they are slightly different sizes on the 6 o'clock side. The 12 o'clock side are identical in length. This is what I measured on the 6 o'clock side:-

.............................GM Original vs Replacement OEM
S-Bar to 1st hole......40mm..................45mm
S-Bar to 2nd hole.....47mm..................52mm
S-Bar to 3rd hole......54mm..................59mm
S-Bar to 4th hole.......61mm.................66mm

I had the original strap on the 4th hole, so the replacement is either tight at 59mm or loose at 66mm.

Looking a bit closer at both straps I see that one is marked 62, the other 65. I had expected that the "65" would simply be longer, but it actually has a different start point for the 1st hole, not just a bit of extra length at the tip.

Can you check the hole to spring bar distance? Would be interested to know how it compares.

So, had time to do some calculations of my own...
Legend:
O65 Original = Orbis 65 GJJ 20mm part number98000215
Replament OEM = Bellini Handmade, both brown and black.
........................... O65 Original vs Replacement OEM
S-Bar to 1st hole......39 mm..................43 mm
S-Bar to 2nd hole.....47 mm..................51 mm
S-Bar to 3rd hole......54 mm..................59 mm
S-Bar to 4th hole.......61 mm.................66 mm

Apparently only the 1st hole is slightly different on mine.

For the 22mm original rubber, black with orange stitching (non-curved ends, for PO 45.5mm), part number98000198, Omega 65:

S-Bar to 1st hole......47 mm
S-Bar to 2nd hole.....54 mm
S-Bar to 3rd hole......61 mm
S-Bar to 4th hole.......72 mm

And now, on-topic. Only had one watch for the week-end trip, so I had to be creative with the pictures 😀
These were taken at a 13th century Romanian church located in Strei, Hunedoara, Romania.
