if you are ok with a 5170 which is 39.4mm, you will be fine with the 40mm 5212A. Yes, lugs do matter but I am more confident that you will be more fine than I will be!!  smile

Since I don't see the 5231 in the pictures, I take it that it's either on your other wrist or in your pocket... Enjoy!

Hi Fab, even their own Masions do...

not have 5231J for display ! :-( Hope you get yours ! Best of luck !!

Which ones left the biggest impression on you?

I’m particularly interested in hearing your impressions of the 5212. Of the new releases, I’m most convinced by the 5212 and the 5231. I don’t really think about the 5726 since I have one in the black dial configuration that I’m more that happy with. This... 

From photos I did ...

not think much of the 5172. In the metal it looks great overall and the strap is out of this world IMO.

👍🏼

QianMen 23 legation quarters (former living quarters of the AMERICAN embassy staff in Beijing). Please see my earlier post on this wonderful place Top picks are 5726, 5712 and 5212. Which ones have you ordered from the regular production?

Thanks for the post and photos Gordon!

Did you find that the lugs of the 5212A stick out a little? Your wrist size is quite similar to mine so I was just wondering. Two weeks time and I will get to try it on in London

This is my concern, as well 😁

I love the look of the watch, but I’m a little scared of this issue with me smallish wrists.

You just need to...

strap it on and see how it feels in the metal.

I am hoping that the busy dial

will make the watch wear small!! 40mm is like a new frontier for me!

My 5170 is just under 40, so I think I’ll be ok, but I keep seeing pictures where the lugs on this one appear to hang over.

 
 By: BMR : May 16th, 2019-10:15
It could just be the angle the photo was taken at, or it could be the lugs are just longer on this one. I’m hoping it’s just an angle issue as I really like this on a lot, and have already placed an order.

I am pretty sure that

Mine is of a similar size so there is hope yet!!

Yes I hope we become part of the 5212 club in the very near future

Hi sham, the lugs are fine and quite good with the ...

two steps, similar to 5320. It does wear a bit large but manageable. Let me know your thoughts after yiu have tried it on.

I definitely will Gordon!

 
 By: sham1 : May 16th, 2019-10:08
I found the 5320 marginally too large when I tried it on two years ago. Oh well, all will be revealed on 30 May!

Hi Nicolas, have you...
