That is certainly a great watch. One question, though.
When you see the profile of the case, you notice that lugs have some height. Do the 3, 65 mm thickness include the height of the lugs, or is this without the height of the lugs?

Best, Melvyn, and thanks for this interesting article.

Thank you Melvyn. Being originally from Swizerland..
I am very well acquainted with the Piaget brand and remember vividly the Polo in the late 70s early 80s, I was then working for VC&A in Rue du Rhone in Geneva and Piaget was just across the street, where it still is. To me Piaget was synonymous firstl...

And the 900P could be the best Altiplano option...
Because thanks to its very contemporary style, it is also an aesthetic achievement. Fx
