Re: Dimensions....

In Response To: Dimensions.... ()

: This is kind of a really, really newbie
: question, but generally, what does one mean
: the size of a watch? Here's an example: I
: have always thought that a 42mm AT meant
: that the measured distance from lug to lug
: (top-to-bottom) is 42mm, but some
: descriptions say that the dial is 42mm
: (which is huge!). So what is the correct way
: to describe the size of a watch?

Diameter is typically measured as the distance across the caseback, excluding the crown. Since the 42mm Aqua Terra is mostly dial (as compared to the 42mm Planet Ocean which has a bezel), the 42mm Aqua Terra does indeed LOOK bigger than a PO, even though their case diameters are the same.
