In the beginning I thought the crown tube would bother me but it doesn't. On the arm (v. super magnified and lit photos) it is very subtle. The blue will be even more so.

The chamfers are great and the hight goes with the overall size and does not exceed the hight of a big block.

I do have to say that because of the hight it looks best on the steel bracelet with it's proper end-links. I wear mine on a lot of Natos but always go back to the bracelet after a few days.....

I mean look at that:

...oops forgot the pictures....coming below....

I love this and think Im going to have to pick it up. The color of the silver and dark blue are phenomenal. The only thing besides being a little thick that bothers me about the black bays is the cheap feeling bezel action. Why in this day and age cant they do what they did 30 years ago with a nice bezel action?

I found one more great picture (on the net) that illustrates that heritage aspect:
