too good to be missed. Silver dial version, Japan edition 36mmx 13.5 mm thick.

Closed back?

I like both of them :P

I think it would have been great with a closed back.

the black looks more iconic. I like the modified 7750 movement and how it is so undecorated and minimalistic under Richard's direction, it will be a pity not to see it.

.

But both are stunning

but that also mean what we like tend to be the 'less popular' ones :P.

I was told by Shellman that it is 13.5mm thick but when I measure with a ruler and see through a 5x magnifier, it measures 12mm thick.

Don’t follow the crowd , follow your heart

I follow you... oops. I will try follow my heart.

Are you still enjoying your TZ20? Do you know what's the thickness of that watch and how you feel about it? I know you have great sensibility on vintage pieces so I'm curious on your thoughts on thickness of a watch case.

the idea behind such no fuss watch fits perfectly with the other pieces in my collection.

Haven’t worn the TZ 20 for a while

It is a bit thick but wears very comfortable I love the crown operated chrono

It certainly is bigger than most of my vintage pieces

recently discovered about the TZ20 piece and I think the dial is totally amazing, so is the COC. A friend of mine has a great interest in Habring's watches after seeing mine and is curious about his other watches, especially the thickness when compared to mine. It is not easy for him to find a Habring to try on his wrist as they are so rare, like all independent makers. This Shellman edition reminds me very much of the proportion of Roger Smith series 2 in 38mm. The shape and height look extremely similar.

I believe the first pic is from Massena Lab? William is simply brilliant!!! The TZ one is very amazing too. I'm in awe with the dial!!! Do you by any chance know the height of the TZ COS piece? I understand that it is 42mm but I cannot find any mention of its height. I really love the design of these two pieces.

for a 42mm watch at 12mm height, it is actually not thick. Roger Smith Series 2, Datograph and Patek 3970 are all around 13-13.5mm. I was hoping that the COS watch is below 14mm . This is great news.

I think this really suit the style of this watch
