True...but the # of watches I sell is negligible, and the 38mm to 42mm is my ideal size.  There are larger one I have that I love such as my ORSA watches, and some smaller ones that are nice like my original Airman and my ZENO Explorer.  It still amazes me that MY ENZO and STOWA, without the crowns are as small as they are.

...and, it's a good way for me to try out the company!

Plus I need something to hold me over while I wait for Basel to end...

hehe.  The difference between the Enzo and Binnacle may be only 3mm as far as the diameter goes, but as far as weight and overall profile ....  It's night and day.

personally I would pick up one of the original Bernhardt Instruments as the dial work appeals to me more as well as the owner back then:D....on any given day you can find a half a dozen of these watches on the secondary sales forums ....why?

Didn't the old Binnacle have a different bezel? I think the old bezel which is the same as the one used on the Sea Shark bothered me...face4.gif
