Just to be sure, the plan is making a full sized egi or a 52mm version?

52 with gen depth is awesome
"Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day,
And tell the world that everything's OK,
But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back,
'Till things are brighter, I'm the Man In Black."

I have a gen crystal if you need measurements. I think I’d be interested in the 60

Why not a 47mm? I know it's stupid, but my wrists can't handle no greater

Because the 60 can double as brass knuckles if you get in a fight

Because of whole case shape. Dial and movement type to make it possible to keep seconds hand and 9.
At 47 mm you will get a chunky case with wrong bezel and small dial without seconds at 9
DavidSen make all the best to keep all this in 47mm case but you need an automatic movement or Angelus sf240 to have a dial with seconds and 9, other movement bigger than 36mm will leave you with wrong dial.
55mm is a good case and you can use almost any case and have a seconds with 9 together. Best and more close to gen is 60mm

That's true Image But my fist is no different than brass knuckles. I had to defend myself a couple of times with bare hands, and no scratchImage

I agree with that. But I can live either with an automatic movement or without a second hand, I guess. I have a friend who used to be a free style wrestler with huge hands and wrists and owns a 60mm. It looks huge even on this guy's wrists.
