Thanks.


So, what's the thickness of the cases on these watches? I am seeing diameter sizes but not thickness (although I admit I've only had time to skim the article).

The thickness of the 5402 is 0.8cm (8mm) and the 15202 is one millimeter thicker because it's fitted with a sapphire case back opposed to a solid back on the 5402. The thickness was measured on my 5402 from the bottom of the case back to the top of the crystal.

8mm! Really? If so, I gotta see this watch.

Just measured mine and I didn't use a caliper slide gauge. If I had, it's possible that it might be even thinner than what I told you.

Just as a reference, the 15300 is only 9.4mm thick and is considerably thicker than the 5402 or the 15202.

Oh well, choices...

Wow... lovely!
