Did the 42mm version ever make it out in the world? I was waiting for it but never saw it anywhere

That's great, never saw it. Would love to try it since 42mm is more up my alley especially with 7750mvt, 14.7mm by 40 is too square for me

Had one like Andrew said, sold it because I had a few different reverse panda chronographs at the time. It also wore a bit too tall and big for me.

Ron was kind enough to loan it to me for a few days. Great looking watch but it wore quite big for a 42 mm. I think 40mm may be a great size for this watch.

I agree. Since chronographs are so thick, the diameter needs to be a little on the large size to look proportional. I think the new speedmaster racing chronos are close to 14.7mm thick - but they are 44.25mm wide, so it looks OK. I'm wearing the Tudor heritage chrono today - 42mm x <13mm - wears great.

Yep reminds me of 103 St Sa I had that was a wobble on my wrist being too small for how tall it was. Not good.

This watch does it for me, although every time I buy a non diver I find myself wearing it for a week then almost never again.

There was an updated W&W article written on the watch that gives the full specs and includes a profile shot.

Looking forward to this one.

I really like this. The only thing I don't like is the pusher for changing the date, but I realize that's an extreme nit pick.

That will be a great one to pick up pre-owned.

I think the new one is pretty deadly. However, the price seems to be creeping up on these new Hamiltons. It's essentially the same price as a near mint Speedy Pro, assuming they are selling at full price and not being discounted like the black / white subdial version.

This model isn't an LE so I assume it'll be discounted to some degree.

Where are you seeing speedy pro’s for $2195?
