Lol, I have considered that I may be more likely to have my watches refinished every 4-5 years with the newer thicker lugs as there would be no danger of them getting to thin!

Because the 40mm was so unpopular for so long ...

42 is a nice watch as well but the 40 is for me

Beautiful and congrats. Probably the most under appreciated sports model right now.

Agree 100%
Just picked this up this week, sitting on black Everest strap
I have owned the 216570 in the past, sold it due to 42mm size. This 40mm is better for my wrist.
