Nice releases, but...none of these green dials are 47mm and the prices seem high to me.

The 995 would have been brilliant as a 47mm. Given the 1940 case, it wears smaller than a 44mm Luminor 1950 case. I had it in my wrist and it felt, well, small. I do like the gold hands and domed sapphire. Also, $11,200 for a base movement? Doesn’t make sense as this is priced significantly higher than a 932 or 690, and it’s less of a watch.

Same comments for the other two SS green dials.

The 997 wears very nice on the wrist at 48mm given the black ceramic material and 1940 case. It’s really a winner with a light tan strap, especially canvas. Price is a bit too high at $13,300.

Are these boutique only, LE, or standard production? I forgot to ask at the boutique.
