I was unable to pull that page up at the moment. I'm getting a 'server not found' error.
But the ratings are actually based on the size of the watch MOVEMENT, not how big the casing it is used in. This is important, particularly with some older watches, where a compact ladies watch movement was used in a mens size watch. I know it sounds odd, but I've seen it done -- usually to make a thinner watch than would have been possible using a mens watch sized movement. I have an old dress watch of my fathers' that is that way.
: The mid size appeals to me, is there any disadvantage???
No. Actually the 'mid-size' designation is somewhat misleading. It really the size of most normal mens watches, such as a Rolex DateJust.
The 'gents' version of the Seamaster is bu most measures an oversized watch. Still a great size, but about 20% larger than a typical mans watch.
Good luck!
