Hmmmm....I’m liking this 1.1 more and more. It might be that it’s my birth year serial number.

Nice! Which size is it?

Can't decide between the smallest and largest in the box.

It's the 43mm on my 7.5" wrist. Perfect fit.

You have a 1.1? I had no clue you ordered, I was thinking you’d love it since you really liked the original but this is bigger for you. Nice.

That 43mm is money – lots of folks crying about it being too big, but the 39 actually suffers from being too small. Visually, and from a dial aperture standpoint, the 43 is extremely close to the OG 2500-series PO, which is a very good thing.

I figured the size difference with the 1.1 might make it worthwhile and, so far, it seems to be a keeper. I’ll most likely keep it on a ZULU and, once my BPFF makes it back from service, start rotating between a ‘work’ time watch and an after hours watch.

For me, 42-46mm is a sweet spot. I have to think hard on anything smaller, and since nobody builds bigger than 46 except Invicta which I abhor, I don't worry about it. I'm actually selling off most all of my pieces at 40. I think I have one O&W at 38 which was a project watch, but I don't wear it.
