Hey, thanks David. For me, it came down to only 2 things: the bezel is a little wider than I like on the 243 and shrinks the dial. The 24 bezel allows more of the dial to show. And of course the 24 was budget friendlykoda240 wrote:Well done! Great looking piece. Cool pics. What made you choose the 24 over the 243? Just curious.

I'll walk thru the thought process when i do a better write up one day.
