I was wondering with all the buzz about the new ultimate Chronomat Evo reps and why I have not seen a post about the case size. These are all listed as 42mm and the gen is 43.7mm. That's a big difference and means a great deal to me. I have seen a gen several times and was impressed with the size of the watch, it's close to my Pams. What's up with this Breitling experts????.....let's hear it. I have been waiting for the two tone models but can't get one now knowing the difference in size :wink:

It depends on which version. The latest one is being labeled "Ultimate" which comes with correct case.

I have looked at just about every one and the ultimate is listed as 42.5mm

CASE DIAMETER: 42.5mm
THICKNESS: 16.5mm

the Gen is 43.7mm by 17.1mm

Then that would have to carry over to the new two tone models correct? I would think since they have the same crystal they would use the same case.

Sneilsen, Puretime is marketing his two-tone ones with the correct diameter measurements. You may want to give him a holla.

why would + or - 1mm bother you so much? :shock:

how would you ever feel the difference?! :lol:

I'd be more bothered about the date font...but I'm not! :wink:

the difference is only in how they are measured, all of the ultimate versions are the same size (same as gen)

Here's a comparison of BCE and OMG SMP:

btw, Puretime states his BCE ultimate to be 43.7 as far as I know.

So many versions.... when you really look into them. I see them:

older 21.6
new 28.8
without AR
with dbl AR
with date font stick 1's
with better 1's
42 case
43+ case
with the hash after the 10 on the upper sub
without the hash after the 10

some with some of these combo's but missing others...... I know it's a pain but a agree with many past posts in that you almost have to ask for a pic of the watch before it's sent.
