    Spot on @mlcor. I didn't measure thickness, but 14mm-ish. Very lightweight Ti though. But then, Suunto, Garmin and G-shocks aren't dainty either.

    There is no number high enough to quantify her level of awesomeness. Truly impossible to measure.
    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Another watch from the stack, I plan to sell or gift this awesome Orient Sliderule, because it's too big for me (43mm). It wears really well because it's thin, and made from lightweight Titanium, and the dial is fascinating. (I could probably figure out how to use it, but I won't be bothered.)

    I recognize most of the words, but those words in those combinations mean nothing to me. I have no idea what any of that means.

    I tried to choose my words accurately... I can do the math but "I won't be bothered"... as in... nevermind... Cool as it is however. The calculator equivalent of a sundial.

    My Freshman year in collecge for a EE degree they still taught slide rule calculations (though we could use calculators for other classes) as well as mechanical drawing, flow charts and schematics. The slide rule things like my high school French and German are pretty much gone due to lack of use. Drawing served me well in my military days. Being taught to letter my printing looked like it was typed when I did watch logs. Drawing has continued to be used even today. My problem is most people using these things have no discipline. Most flow charts make me cringe with the do whatever you want methods of constructing them. Also, the need to fit something complex on a single powerpoint page doesn't help.
    Cheers,
