A lot of people say that the correct measurement is from 8h to 2h. That's how Patek Philippe does for instance.

And if you measure the case from 8h-2h, you get 40mm in Sub and GMT II and 38.57 in Daytona

And please, here do you measure to see only a .45mm difference?

Cheers

I believe it. My GMT ll looks big vs. Daytona. Daytona looks same as my Speedy Reduced. Bezel and lugs create optical illusion?

Daytona has Ben the same size for fifty years! Great watch but smaller in size/bulk than some of the others.

Is the side of the bezel by the crown bent on the Daytona or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
