The size, according to how it is offcially measured, is always the diameter of the case, lugs are of no relevance there. You may however view the lugs as a kind of "size" of course. Others may additionally add the first link etc etc. 😉
Personally I don't agree though.
Actually, diameter is merely one parameter of watch sizing. Granted it's the most commonly used one but diameter will only tell you so much about the size of a watch if you don't take into account thickness, lug to lug...

Saying that lugs are of no relevance is like saying that weight or torso/waist measurements is of no relevance when determining a person's size since the "official" measurement is height. Like the diameter of a watch, height will only tell you one part of the story... Not all 185 cm persons are the same size. Similarly, not all 41mm watches are the same size.

Thickness is of course a different story, since it refers to another dimension.

What matters now on the CE is that shitty corner breakage and potential button cap popping off.

And people should wear something they like even if it's too big or too small for their wrists. They like it and that's what matters.

So then.... @puretime you think you can tell the factory to get these flaws fixed for V2 release? And that fucking Rotor font?
And tell them to not fuck up anything that's already good.

Greedy much? Look at what they did to get to V1, you can always source a custom rotor that I posted earlier back...

hey, if you wanna spend $1000 on shit that breaks because of a major flaw, then that's on you and that actually tells me a lot more about you and where you sit in your life =)

So don't kid yourself.
PS: This thread is long enough already, if you got a fucking problem, you can take it up with me over DM or even in person. lol

Seems like there was only 1 case of the pusher popping off? Been wearing daily, hit it a little bit on a door, my son accidentally started the chrono and 0 issues with anything falling off or breaking. Might need to wait until more people get them in hand before saying it’s a version to skip unless the rotor is a complete deal breaker for people.

The broken bracket looks to me like it was at a pressure point and may have been pushed down or packed poorly causing it to crack

There’s been a few.
And actually the major flaw that I saw more of is the breakage of the bracelet corners.

How many instances are you actually aware of with the bracelet and ceramic corners cracking?

I love the look of this watch. But I’m pretty clumsy so I’d get a stainless steel one. TBH I might just get the cheaper bf or iPf version first.

Oh, paaaleeeze... Settle down, Beavis.

Every second post from you is somehow aggressive, rich of foul language or otherwise offensive at this point. We know you're the John Wayne of Keyboards. No need to constantly prove it. 🙄

Dude, dial the aggression back, there's no need for it. Not asking, BTW . . .

Why don't you get banned for saying that?? LOL

You keep saying it's just a rep but you also get mad and saying F word for that?

The funny thing is RWI don't do anything about this.
