@ AVO.
It's a 42mm with the ETA innards. I initially wanted a 40 but they seem to be as scarce as hens teeth so the 42 it was !
It wears reasonably big 'cos it's quite thick but I have 8"+ wrists so it's not such a problem. My other "boutique" Armida A8 is a teeny weeny bit bigger, not much though, and I'm quite comfy with that on.
The blue Mako twins nicely with my yellow option but as you get on a bit the old eyesight starts degrading and I have a job making out the less than best contrast on the hands against the yellow face. Either I sponsor some clever soul to put darker hands on or it could soon be for the chop !!
Cheers
Greg

I agree, even if it's only a Muff, not an ocean in sight !!

Looking good. This really is an underestimated watch and a classic design.
For me Seiko are about the best bang for buck out there.
