photographs and measurements coming sometime soon . . . entirely different cases for the 5100 and the Cal 12 Silverstones. This 510.403 looks both HUGE and delicate, all at the same time . . . let me explain.

At 43.5mm lug-to-lug, it's smaller than the 60's Carrera, 70's Monaco or 70's Autavia (which range from 44.7 to 47.2), but the BIG look comes from the thickness of the case (at approx 15mm). The other perspective that makes it look rather delicate is the width of the dial itself . . . at around 28mm (not counting the inner bezel or case), the dial is actually very small . . . maybe comparable to a pre-Carrera chrono from the 50's.

put all this together, and you get a unique shape and look . . . which I am liking a lot. It fits on a small wrist very well (because of the small lug-to-lug dimensions), but can definitely be seen (because of the thick case).
