Port Royal, right?

Nice, never seen a wristshot of it before. Looks HUGE.
Speaking of depth, what are the dimensions of it?

i have small wrists (6.5) so i wouldn't consider it huge

the dimensions are 51 X 36 (51 = lug to lug)

thickness is 10-13mm

subjectively it does not feel huge compared to a breitling

i'm used to heavy watches and this one feels like i'm wearing nothing.. the titanium makes it almost strangely light compared to a ling

Very nice. I'm still thinking that I'm going to get the Chronomaster XXT Open Grande Date, but the Mega Port Royal Open Grande Date Concept is really getting me to take a look at the Port Royal series - that's a very nice piece.

Ordinarily I would agree with you - but Zenith now have so many tourbillons I think it's OK - they can push the envelope with some of their more mainstream lines - not just the Defy Xtremes.
