Compare and contrast my choice for today, where I expect to in the office, then out for a business dinner. Understated subtlety was my aim . .

16.5mm with one less than half that

width of 41mm for Chuck with 32.5mm for this WWII era manual

No offense, Chuck, but "understated subtlety" is not the Mark III's strong suit.

One more thing, Chuck.

Is one measurement or the other mistaken, or does the table need an addition? Of course, I expect it is the latter . . .
