Nice, huh?
Very nice! I think the 40-42 mm size is spot on an have not been much of a fan of the larger watches of late (each to their own) so is great to see a new 40mm watch that isnt very thick and stays with the tradition of the series - very well done.
Cheers,

It's great that it's not as thick as a brick. Although I own a Portuguese 5001 and a 3717 I do relish putting a "skinny" on my wrist, they are less prone to being dinged. Having just had a HW restored that was my fathers daily watch it proved that slim watches in non waterproof gold cases even when worn daily do not have to suffer dings nor water ingress!

Do you have any specifics on the movement?
Does the bracelet for the new chronograph also have the micro-adjustable clasp?

I usually would go for the black dial, but the white dial is intriguing. I can't wait to see it in person.
