This should not be very controversial.

Did some research, the Diamond crown is better made and offers a better grip. The Pumpkin crown sits lower and is more comfortable to people with smaller wrists.
We can have either installer on the Chrono II.


Option 1:

Diamond here too!

In actual fact it shouldn't dig into the wrist at all as it's "only" a 44mm watch. I find the 46mm BP to be absolutely fine too - no digging in at all.

The watch will not be necessarily 44mm, we can vote on the size too. I was thinking 44, 45, 46, or 47mm

Really? Wow! 45mm or 46mm would be spot on for me!

Looks like another poll is coming then Altair! :wink:

I actually think that they should all be sticky bc it gives us a chance to look through them all at a quick glance.

I think we should keep the threads as it shows a good record. They'll drop down the board soon enough as no-one can post to them now.

Right, well I am not posting any more threads until we have this sorted out. The other criteria heavily depends on the dial color such as case material and strap color/type. I tried to post threads in a logical order and I do feel that the watch is starting to take form, some triumphs and some disappointments but overall quite exciting! :mrgreen:

I like the pumpkin crown, and prefer a larger case 45-46mm
