Post subject:  Blackbird Thickness...17.2 ?? Really
I was just thinking that my Herc seems pretty thick at 15.7mm and the AS at 17.4 is very thick, but when looking at the listed measurement of the new BB, it says 17.2 mm thick! It just doesn't seem right to me. I've tried the BB on many times and it seems much thinner to me than my Herc.
Is it really that thick?
Just thinking...

I think its correct as it should be just about the same thickness as the chronomat.

But i dont think it wears that thick or big,iv got a seawolf chronograph and at 18mm seems to wear and look a lot thicker even though its only 0.8 of a mm more,to be honest thats why i dont have a evoloution or a blackbird,i had the blackbird and to be honest thats the reason i got rid of it,lovely watch yep,just not chunky enough if you know what i mean.

I may have to go try one on again. I do like the chunky!
I've been contemplating selling my AS and getting the BB. I love the AS and went through alot of drama to get it, but I'm not sure I am a polished SS guy. I think I may need to stick with the brushed ss pieces, and the BB was my next choice over the AS.
