Of course! 😀

Agree the bathyscaphe lugs are more elegant (and beveled). Maybe they really wanted a 40mm case size for the Milspec? I think the bathyscaphe comes as 43 , 38mm. Not sure if they have something in between.

Original model from 1953 was around 42MM, in 1972, the Royal Oak was 39MM, and that was considered "jumbo,"

I don't mind the 40MM Fifties, I think 42MM may be a good size, since the original was around 42MM. Arguably, that was almost 70 years ago, it could grow a little, in my opinion. But that's only my opinion....
41mm.

I am happy 40,40,5,41, 41.5
By: Gelato Monster : March 14th, 2021-21:39
Perhaps 40 40.5 would be more true, but 41.5 would be more modern thus attractive to many.
Exactly!

Great pics Nicolas -- reminders of the charms of vintage

I've always liked the FF but the modern ones never quite did it for me -- beautiful in their way but (like Rolex) a little blingy and too large for my 6.8" wrist. The Hodinkee was nice but quite expensive for a simple, non-hacking watch. Would love to see...
Well, my friend, the right thing is something different...

... when doing a re-edition I‘m with you, when doing a tribute piece I actually welcome the deviation from the inspiration watch. To me the sin of the Hodinkee MIL-SPEC are the too long/wide hands 😉 Love the passionate debate! Cheers Henrik
I think your deductions are likely correct.

I’d wish for a brushed case but as it is limited I'm unlikely to make up my mind in time to have a chance to get one. Heck, I’ll probably never even see one! Kent
Good point...

My AD down here in Scottsdale (just arrived!) had an Air Command for sale last time I was there. So there's indeed hope! Kent
