In the current modern catalogue, it is the best for me. But when laid next to its predecessors, times are different indeed. My preference would still sit around 36mm, especially given I have a larger 8.1” wrist. But I’m glad I got to try these on, because now I know I can confidently wear 31mm as well smile

Saw a similar “set” being advertised as one in a dedicated box by one of the popular online sellers. Might be one and the same.

I was happy to be able to see and experience them as well. They all need new straps (and were out getting their measurements), so hopefully more (and better) pics down the road.
