I like this cushion case very much. On the photo it looks bigger than 38mm. What is the height?

Dimensions… please see pics ☀️

13,4mm. Thanks a lot 🙏

And 9.4 mm on the first tier of the case step

The extra height for the raised bezel is for the 6 hands to clear each other.

So it’s a massive watch with much wrist presence

despite the relatively small case size.

Hmm, I don’t think of it as massive

But yes, has strong wrist presence. 😊

Yes. Lug width is 21 mm

That’s pretty much standard for GP during this time for these type of pieces. But thanks for pointing that out ☀️

Ha ha, thanks 😊

Was being careful to not scratch anything with the callipers and take the pic with the other hand. 😮‍💨

Thanks. No story with the polished vs

the brushed lugs and shoulders of the case. They just made a few one way vs. the other. You can always polish your satin brushed lugs to make them polished if you like.

Thanks 😊 Tomorrow I’ll post some
