I just realized it doesn't have a seconds hand

How do we feel about this?

Also looks like they ripped off dial from this RO chrono which is the same msrp but probably looks more expensive in person

I can live without a seconds hand. The other complications make it more interesting.

fair. and to put my cards on the table i like a 40mm dress watch, could easily go 38mm, and would even like to get a rolex datejust 36mm - which i know many of you guys think is dainty and feminine and not for you etc. so feel free to take my opinion with a grain of salt. i have my eye on a jlc reverso too

L2L matters more than case length imo

You could have a 42mm watch with oafish lugs causing it to span 52mm across your wrist

Or a 42mm - 44mm watch with elegant lugs and only spans 49mm l2l like omega dark sides

And you are cr about smaller sizes. I have a 36mm op one off with Arabic numerals that is perfect size, whereas most other guys like us would get a bigger explorer II or gmt

Have a pilot chrono from IWC. If they made watches for the Luftwaffe they must know what theyre doing!
