But the prescence of a watch for instance of 46mm and 50mm lug-lug, to a 44mm and 54mm lug-lug is greater (imo). But I guess this just boils down to personal preference in the end. But, I´m sure the Vortex will fit my almost 8" wrists nicly. And the no-date issue I´m sure I can cope with also. Pics and initial thoughts will follow, when I get the darn thing (hate waiting ...)
The lugs are a big factor also.
I have around 62mm wide wrists and my 50mm Russian Shark falls right on me with 62mm lug to lug size.
Lug to lug size is important and remember that the Vortex is 54mm lug to lug for it's 44mm diameter(without crown).
When a watch takes 54mm on your wrist, it start to be a big baby and can't look ridiculous except if you have monster wrists.
For the date: I have many watches without date and enjoy them as much as the others, like many of us
Btw, really cool that russian you got there!
Thanks! Yes, this titanium Russian is hard to find as well...
I tell you what: Mesuring you wrist perimeter isn't so relevant as it seems because a thick, but not so wide wrist will not fit a big watch as well as, a wide and not so thick wrist...Get it?
Those Kobold cases are wearing big generaly: Don't refer yourself only by the mesures because some watch are giving the illusion to appear bigger than they are.
Generaly it's because the construction of the case is rough in lines or massive...
