    I haven't handled the clasps on their watches but the ones I purchased to retrofit to my PO were comically large.

    Blancpain and Longines - if some reports are to be believed.

    You are on the right path if you discount which of these is not considered a high-end Swatch brand.

    A Fifty Fathoms is what I’ve read, plus some dateless Longines models.

    According to my friend’s report (might miss some infos as he had too many champagne/wine during the event)

    The Longines will be around 40mm rounded case with plain (but slightly thick) bezel,light-colored dial (silvery-white? Probably with some textures) with subdial at 6,no date nor fake patina,dark hands (probably blue),so from that description I’m thinking something Nomos-esque

    There’s also talks about SS cal 321 speedy but the price will disappoint some fans as it’ll be more than pre-owned DSOTM

    And Longines ruin those two by systematically giving the guillotine treatments to the numbers
