Damn was it really that yuge? I owned the first re-release briefly and I don’t recall it being a bad fit

I would assume same specs as the previous 2 colorways

Yep. I’m down with this.

Between this and the new Seiko’s, my PayPal account is nervous.

Sorry, thought I was on the other Certina thread.
That curved bezel is nice and It’s a cool blue.

I had the old black model and it was fine on my 6.75" wrist. This is the balls.

No, its more like 52mm. The springbar holes are drilled fairly far in, so its not that bad..although I don't personally like the aesthetics of having the holes drilled that far in.

This one looks nice, but I think I prefer the orange dial version of this line (PH500M).

Well, let’s just say Covid has shrunk expenditures. The wedding was to be this Saturday. Now we are looking at July and according to our Governor it will likely be a small gathering. Strange times. Kids are upset, for sure, but it will work out.

Thanks for asking!

My buddy in CT just had his daughter’s wedding in their house (immediate family and officiant only) and have postponed the bigger celebration until next spring.

Tell the kids to save their money and plan a big celebration next year. Make sure they have Corona beer on tap!

Guys, just measured mine, lug-tip to lug-tip is 52mm. Springbars are set in quite a bit, 45mm between the springbars.

Man, that really is beautiful, and can't get enough of just the bezel

Thanks so much for the look !

Agreed! I've contemplated doing the same thing. Sapphire crystal would be nice too, need to buff mine out.
