Are you sure it's 60mm?

My 60mm Egi lugs look different (see where the screw holes are).

I tell you this because I discovered that my previous 60mm Egi was, in fact, a 50ish mm version.

They (Jackson, Parnis, etc) measure the whole watch width, including the CG instead of just the mid-case.

If your mid-case is 60mm, then it means you have a new/different version.

Always was only two versions of this 60mm case and no updates on it.
SS version is rare now and factories send Ti.

Alex is correct. I hated the lugs and tried to make them look more like the DSN.

Fascinating. Explains all of my questions about weight and shaping. And I guess I've learned something about the stain/corrosion properties of titanium too...

That colour is so similar to my titanium Luminor Cartel watch!


By the way, Chinese makers don't always use the same titanium quality (there are different types)
