I like these a lot but as is the song I sing so often, not at 40mm. Esp with that bold bezel the dials in person as so small.

They just today released a green version of the 3 hand and if you go to their site it says 44mm..... that's my wheelhouse. I contacted customer service though to make sure it wasn't a misprint before I go begging the wifey.... lol. With Xmas a coming round the corner, fun money typically goes elsewhere and with the new NFW Shumates coming in soon (in theory) I'd probably have to choose one of the other) I'm presuming the Shumate will be priced similarly as it was before... hoping.

as for the price of these. You're paying that brand mark-up. Its not outrageous here but price probably a little higher than a collector would normally like to pay.
