Excellent review. Many thanks. is the case size 38 or 36? I've read both for the Prince DD.

The Prince DD is actually closer to 35mm, similar to classic DJ's. I just bought myself a second one; same config as Adam's!

Thank you. My digital caliper says 36mm, as does the Tudor website Note, also, the updated reference number. Not sure if only 76200 is still used on the case now, but I guess so.

I believe it's 36mm if you measure a little diagonally and exclude the crown, which still gets a sliver of the midcase in there, but the bezel alone is closer to 35mm.

Yes, Argonaut was asking about the case, and that's what I measured. The bezel is of course slightly smaller.

Yeah, I was just trying to clear up why DramaTurtle said the watch was closer to 35mm. It sounds like he was thinking in terms of the bezel.
