    I love the inspired look but would prefer a slightly bigger case than 36mm. At a minimum 38mm is a last resort for me.

    With you on the size, 38mm still I reckon falls into the vintage vibes zone but would be more wearable for a wider audience.

    Yes, absolutely 100%. I reckon the ugly lug debacle has been put to bed and that was my only other issue. Another surefire winner from Eddie. I'll have one!

    This is a good-looking watch:

    Dial, hands and size are beautiful, lugs are horrible. And please, after several 36mm watches with 18mm lug width, give us another 36mm watch with 20mm lug width.

    I don't know about all the other things but I am all up for that. I am every day admiring my 26mm Smiths Expedition and thinking that, those 20mm lugs are really what is stopping the watch from looking like a small watch.

    A watch with railmaster / ranchero inspired dial and hands is a great idea. Like many others I'm not a fan off the lugs, but have never seen that type of lugs on a real watch, so might be difficult to judge from the drawings. Maybe this time a 38 mm. version, and some white hands rather than mirror shine hands.
