I have another appearance question. This watch is really thick (ove r14mm). The style seems strage for such a thickness. I have an Eterna with a 2894, and it seems kind of thick with a more traditional style, so a Bauhaus look with a thick case is kind of strange. I really like the Meister Telemeter (I am also longing for the heritage-looking Longines chrono's), but those old chrono's had slim manual wind movements (oh Longines, please re-make the 30-CH). I wish Valjoux would start making the 72 again.

SkipPpUnfortunately the thickness it a by product of the Valjoux 7750 movement. I recently acquired 2 watches with that movement, a LeJour and a Bucherer, and both are about 40mm round, but about 14mm thick. One, the Le Jour, looks bigger than the 40mm, the other wears smaller, but still a little thick, but both fit under a cuff. So I think with the "minimalist" or, "Bauhaus" look, these will "wear small" due to their very narrow bezel. I really really like the look and would pick one up had I not, as mentioned, just bought 2 other watches.

Fathertime1961I believe it is the opposite, watches with bezel wear small.

SkipPpSkip, I have the Max Bill Chronoscope, it is about 14mm thick, but over 5mm is the plastic crystal alone. It makes the shape of the watch from the side somewhat like that of a disc-shaped UFO, so it slips under a shirt cuff rather easily. It wears pretty thin, in fact. The 7750 is actually managed rather well by Junghans in this particular case. I actually didn't think the watch to be that thick, I had to remeasure to believe it. FWIW.
