I know what you talk about. I tried the 2850-1130-53 and it was definitly to big for my wrist. And to much emptiness on the dial. The same watch in red gold was fine. Maybe because of the two colours. I wait for to see the new Aqua Lung Grand Date. Hope size works, because of the arabic numbers - we will see.
If you like chronos, what do you think about the new Flyback Grand Date?
