8.9mm, but I will check with calipers tonight...

It's also been really accurate since week 1, been consistently losing around 10 seconds a week.

But 8.3mm! Holy crap. I think the 8.9mm was a mistake because it might have been referring to the old model with a see through back, whereas this one is just a plain stainless steel back.

I think Seagull makes a gold microrotor ladies watch that's 6mm thick, but it's also like 5000 dollars :/

Saw one of these today (I think it was this one):

Pretty thin but I didn't realize how thin my watch was.

That's damn thin. I've been looking at clearances and crystal thickness and figured I could do 7.6mm with a 3.6mm movement and 0.8mm sapphire. But after wearing the Hamilton I may shoot for 8.0-8.4mm for a bit of a safety factor via thicker crystal.

It's funny, like I said, when I put it on I was impressed by the thinness, but measured the 9.5mm and then was "That's nothing special..."

Is there a watch:car price ratio??

I always thought this watch funny, I found the watch during my travel. Mao's hand move like it waving at you.

I keep watching this thread as per the title's instruction but it just seems to be a bunch of guys checking the time. It really ticks me off and is getting me all wound up.

Magrette...why are you doing this to me - getting ready to bring out a new Regattare model based on the Dual Time:

http://www.magrette.com/the-timepieces-regattare-11.php

Gave up on the original Regattare, really like the Dual Time, but this new Regattare 11 just works so great with that slightly smaller dial, thinner '12', wider bezel width and shallower angle... but I really like the 12 hour marking on the Dual Time more, it's been incredibly useful. Aaaaahhhhh, what to do?!

I managed to find a Luckywood spoon from Japan to go with my GS like those Rolex spoons they give out when you goto Switzerland lol!

Some nice stuff in here. I've been on this forum since 2012 and never knew about this thread. I'll throw a couple of mine up now and add others later.
