Trying to determine if it wears larger or smaller than the stated 40mm
Just over 7” wrist size

I’m a little over 8” so it may be the photo angle but it looks like it wear quite big compared to a BP FF for instance.

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds
That bambino Egi looks excellent! Thanks for being the lab rat and getting one to show us! I’ve worn the heck out of my Baltany (doesn’t look as nice as yours though) I need to pick one of these up. I have many questions if you’ve got time.
Is the caseback a multi-screw or are those for show? If it’s a single thread what is the diameter? Would be cool if it’s swappable with an exhibition caseback.
What is the diameter of the inside? I’m guessing it’s at least 29mm, but if it’s bigger there might be room for a Valjoux 7739, and if it’s deep enough maybe a 7750. There is also a Miyota movement with a 9 o’clock seconds that should fit.
How is the bezel action? Titanium often has stealthy bezel clicks.
I’ll jump on board and put in a request for them to make a 47mm.

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds
Just got one of these WM mini Egiziano watches, I was jealous of Hidden Impact
it’s excellent! What a ridiculous little toy. My son wants one with a Warhammer 40k theme dial. It’s a normal size version of an oversized watch, so it’s small next to the original, normal on the wrist but still seems like it’s big for no reason at all. Maybe it’s the blasted titanium. Looks like concrete, feels light as a feather. It’s a bit confusing.
The rotor noise from the Miyota is kind of loud, but I’ll be swapping that out for a different movement. The lume isn’t great, I’ll be swapping the dial out as well.
The inside of the case is about 30mm, so not quite big enough for a Valjoux 773X without a turn on the lathe. The crown guard is well done, but the lever scratches up the crown a little. The crown guard lever on mine was a little loose, fixed it buy adding an extra gasket under the crown. The crown is pretty well done and seems to have a good chance of keeping the watch water resistant. The bezel on mine is a bit tight, but the clicks are good.
It would be better if it had drilled lugs and an open caseback, but for the money it’s exactly what it promises to be. I’m very happy with it. I also asked if they would make a 47mm version, so here’s hoping!

Re: Interesting Aliexpress finds
Congratulations!! Looking forward for any tuning updates )) Im looking on Ali on it from time to time. still keeping myself in control, as I bought toooo many things to build. but this one should be not too hard to upgrade apart from shaping something unshapable )))Hypnogagia wrote: ↑Yesterday, 3:56 am Just got one of these WM mini Egiziano watches, I was jealous of Hidden Impact
