Found this on the net today, and I thought I'd post the link as it may give a few of you guys some ideas of case size if you can't easily get to AD's to try stuff on! Obviously it's a billion miles away from being a substitute for trying watches on, but it might give you a idea what kind of size may suit you best. :D

Just click on the picture, print it out at 100% and then cut out the size to try! :thumbsup:

Does the 44mm, 48mm, etc. include the crown?

I'm guessing not as usually case sizes are given less the crown, but as I've not actually printed it myself I'm not sure. Bet bet would be to print one and measure it I guess.

I did print one out and the printouts include the crown. It was my understanding that normally these measurements should not include the crown.

For example the Steelfish is 44mm according to Breitling. That does not include the crown correct?

Thank you.

Yes, the usual measurements normally exclude the crown. Looks like this ready-reckoner is a bit cack then! Sorry guys! :oops:
