jup, thats what i am looking for as well :) only thing stopping me from ordering one right now is the size of the watch - i don't have a big wrist and so far i have been wearing 44mm PAMs and 44.5mm Omega Planet Ocean. The 127 is 47mm (!) - would go ahead and try it somewhere but looks like its unlikely to spot one of these somewhere :)

Not sure if this will help you, but I have a 7.5in wrist and here is how it sits for me.

looks amazing on your wrist!

do you have any issues with the crown guard rubbing against your skin? (i have that even with the 44mm Pams after i have not worn them for a while).

Still like to look of the crown guard on the right side more so i don't really want to go for the 227 either :)

Nope, no issues with crown guard. I think I am used to the CG since I have worn the 243 quite a bit, so I got used to it. I have a Graham with the CG on the left side vs right side and that CG placement does take some getting used to (even though the Graham is a lever with no surround).
