..that one should probably handle a watch before casting judgement.

One of the above shots just made it look as ridiculously thick....and yes, would love to see the spacer around the quartz module smile

It does look the best on that rubber strap.

Nice set of photos!

It's the same thickness as the original FM...

...and in fact, the case is the same size all the way around. The quartz movement is probably swimming around inside it ;-).

When I had the two side-by-side, the thickness did look identical but the new pushers are so much larger than the FM's that I wonder if the new proportion makes it appear thicker...

FM : 14.65mm vs Z-33 : 19.85mm

According to the late great Chuck the FM was 14.65mm (#Omega_Flightmaster - He had the Mark III at 15.9mm.) and according to Omega the Z-33 is 19.85mm so that's a lot thicker, 36% thicker !

Beautiful pics ...

I'm not go to say anything until I see one "in flesh". I don't want to say "never say never" one more time. Congrats, Nilo
