Dial is much better on this than the skeleton, but man are these gross in person. Like wearing a tuna can on your wrist.
The Cal.17 boutique chronometers had the right diameter, but again - so tall on the wrist. Here's hoping the heritage line is not just heritage in case width, but also in case height!

Yes, the originals were a bit too much for my taste too. This one could be massive as well, but it's certainly nice that we have a new option.
I also agree that the ideal size for the Heritage line is the JH80 & the CAL 17 boutique chronograph variants.
This was the exact reason I (very reluctantly) sold my JH80 Carrera. Case was just too thick and appeared bulky on my 6.5" wrist. The CH80 movement was supposed to be thinner (although they previewed it in a standard case). My hope at the time was they would use it to make a thinner version. Of course I would have liked 2mm off the diameter as well, but didn't ever hold out much hope for that!
