Whisky has killed more men than bullets, but most men would rather be full of whisky than bullets.

It’s very nice looking. I wish it was the 43mm case, though.

I like it. I wonder how thick it is, also L2L?

At 42mm it would be a winner.

For some reason I can't get past the dial, I guess the big difference in size between the numbers is not attractive to me. Also I think that the hands are a little too thick on this one. I would also prefer a different GMT hand, less visible or "distracting. But at least they are longer then the earlier models.

Otherwise it is pretty pleasant to look at and their lume is certainly great!

No lug to lug measurement on their spec page.

It is big. I saw it in the metal at their main facility outside of Cleveland. Had a little extra time while I was there for work. Awesome experience, very friendly and they love having people stop by. I did not plan on leaving with a watch, but......I’ve got a Combat B38 hidden somewhere in the house now that will be making a reappearance on Father’s Day Image.

This is just a guess, but 53mm sounds about right. The 43mm model is about 50mm.

Doable for my 6.75” wrist, but 50mm L2L like the U2 would have been better. It is still a beautiful piece.
