I made it. I checked for the member badges in the smiley section, but they all seem to be missing, and I wasn't sure if an EM badge existed, so I just fired one off of photoshop. Feel free to use it... if you have an EM of course :)

I just put the calipers on the Mission and was shocked to see the bezel diameter is only 43mm!!! (rider tab to rider tab) Wow, this watch wears way bigger. I would have guessed it was 45mm diameter easily.

Just another reminder that you can never judge a watch by the numbers, until it is on the wrist. :D



Having never measured my EM I cannot be totally sure, but I have always read/believed the EM is 45mm.

Best wishes,

About the 45mm/43mm debate the chronolog says it 45mm ? why the difference then ?

In my post I said the BEZEL diameter was 43mm. The chronolog is correct when it says the watch is 45mm, taking into account the case and crown guards. But in my opinion, the size of a watch is largely dictated by the bezel diameter, so that is what I measured. In this case, the watch wears like a 45mm watch so I guess the numbers are right, I just expected the bezel to be larger diameter. In the end, who cares, I love the watch
