You are right Brian, I measured the 42s recently and they are 40mm bezel to bezel with the 2 mm extra just for the case/crown, so in effect they are all 2mm less than advertised, and so the 43.5 should be like a 41.5 and a little less thick too which should be best for me.

This was in Milan. I'm not 100% sure about the ceramic plant ocean.
It looks way too sporty, not even a little bit luxurious. That is fine for some people, but for me even if is a sport model still retailed as a luxury item.

Definitely not as far a looks, but to feel and wear it feels like a very luxurious watch.

Compared to the Grey Side it looks almost like a toy... but nonetheless the deep black is awesome. Not a fan of the colored models.

Real question is which one do I get...
