Hi all, new here and have been doing some searching, but can't seem to find an answer to what I'm looking for.

Does anyone know the lug to lug size of the Chronomat GMT and the Chonomat GMT 44? Not the lug width for the band, I'm looking for the distance across the top to kind of judge for my wrist.

I know no matter what I have to try each on to really see the difference, but they're hard to come by around me, so I was just curious. I just love the black on black that they have with the GMT, but unfortunately they don't offer that with the 44. So I'm stuck deciding between something that may be too big, or going with the B01 movement (Flying Fish), even though I really desire that GMT complication.

Thanks for any info!

The lug width is 22mm. If you check the sites home page there is a link on the left side that has all the models and the info for them.

He's not looking for the lug width, he is looking for the width of the case including the lugs.

The GMT 44 a very wide watch, my wrist is 7" and I found it too wide for me, I can't even imagine how big the 47 is.

Sorry dunno lug length but I've also tried Chronomat 44 on and found that with my 6.75" wrist the Chronomat 41 is the perfect fit - with the 39 mm Chrono Cockpit working very fine too... hope this helps.
As soon as the blackeye blue Chronomat 41 will have a weekday feature, one will come home with me... :)

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks for the input though, it's greatly appreciated.

the 44 is a big watch but on my 7" angular wrist it looked good in a new model way.
