Another year, another SOTC! I didn't even bother trying to 'thin out the herd' before this one, so I have gone from 30 watches lat year, to, erm, 42 watches this year. Gulp. A few are on shaky nails though, aren't they always ; ) so let's see how many survive the next twelve months! Cheers, Jody
Every time I put one of your videos on, it doesn't matter where my better half is, she runs in to the room shouting "HELLOOOOOO". She recognises the ticking from the intro.
Hahhah! Please say Hellooooooo to your Mrs, Jamie!
@@JustOneMoreWatch you've made her day with that reply!
Since Yema is French, I think rude customer service is part of the authentic experience as a foreigner buying something French 😂
Hm, I guess you have a good point there!
😂😂👍🏻
;-)
If the watches functioned as advertised there would be no need to interact with customer service at all
I am french and totally agree !
It’s a shame you have 42 watches yet you let those omegas sit broken. It would be cool to send them into omega and make a video about the service process and results.
We’re still waiting on that “State of the Drawer of Shame” end of year video ! 🤪.
Make it so number one ...
Yeah we definitely need to see that.
Yup!!! Come on Jody! You showed us your best, now show us the worst of the lot!
ROTFLMAO - I have a "Watch Box of Shame" with several in it. :-D Most that land there are eventually purged - given away to someone who wants it - or sometimes if they don't, they just get it mailed to them anyway. I'd love to see what's in his.
Yes 42 watches is the answer to Life the Universe and Everything!!! Cheers 🥂
I do not know why i always say "Hello and welcome to just one more watch" at the same time jajajaja
It's fun to say and rolls of the tounge lol
U n me both bruv.
I think we all do. My partner hates me for it. Hahaha.
I still say "Hello TH-cam"
I assumed we all did.
"Some of my watches got zero wrist time"
Suddenly, the MARQ (TM) method of wearing two watches at the same time makes more sense.
Yeah lol
I've been doing this and I only own two pieces 😅
I thought that was called pulling a Schwartzkopf? Not sure what Garmin has to do with this?
@@StuntpilootStef
Marc from Long Island Watches. MARQ just for the lolz.
@@Alias_Anybody I see. I was quite confused because Marq is a line of luxury smart watches made by Garmin. So I thought that you might be referring to wearing a normal and a smartwatch at the same time and that this became a thing without me knowing about it.
Please review some of Casio's higher end sub-brands: Oceanus, Lineage, Edifice, Pro-trek, etc.
I should think the Oceanus and Lineage are not so good in Australia. No radio control, if I am not much mistaken.
+1 for Oceanus
YES! Best watches in entire universe and beyond.
+1 for the Pro-Trek and Edifice, +2 for the Oceanus. Never heard of Lineage.
I sold my Oceanus. I still regret doing that☹️
Been waiting all year for this. A SOTC is so important in watch collecting.
Thank you for the video. Have a great day.
That San Martin looks like a Tag Heuer to me...I could be wrong though.
Feels like Jody has strong affinity to Omegas
Definitely. Omega and Casio my two favourite brands.
@@JustOneMoreWatch same here!
@@JustOneMoreWatch better get one of the 41mm connies in for review. Maybe the black n gold?
I really need to do a SOTC video myself. I think I might have close to the same number of watches as you now Jody. I'll do it for the 1 year anniversary of the channel I think.
I have a Vostok 24 hour Kamandirskke and i love it. I could only find ones with a diver bezel so if you get one I recommend picking up a 24 hour bezel and flipping it out. It's eazy peazy and probably the best travelers GMT for under $2000, and it barely cost $100! Switching timezones is just a twist of the bezel!
I picked up a Casio 5600 on you recommendation for $45 US and free shipping from Walmart. I intended to get the metal mod from Ali, but decided to keep it stock as a beater. Glad to see it get so much wrist time from you!
Hiya.That breitling aerospace though! Would have needed a large and angry army to have let one of those beauties go!
I have been wearing my Casio 5600E a lot more since I modded it and made it metal. The original strap was too small for my 8" wrist. Your Detroit Mint is totally bonkers!
That Chinese special joke had me literally laughing out loud
Thank you for putting the ad at the end. I actually watched the advert in full as a way of appreciating a full uninterrupted video. Ads should go at beginning or end or both. Happy to watch them to support the channel. Nice watch collection although I don’t think I could do more than ten in mine. I look forward to the German watch coming soon to your collection. Should we expect a Laco Pilot?
Surely, the Omega needs demagnetising? I wear my watches on a rotational basis, but can't help putting my Davosa Argonautic Lumis on when nobody is looking.
Yes! Genuinely as excited for this as I am for six nations. Sunday afternoon I'll put your sotc on my TV, grab a beer and forget about everything else for 40 minutes. What could be better?
🤣 Thanks Callum!
If you’re in the market for a German watch in 2021, I highly recommend Damasko. I just bought myself a DS30 Ocean on bracelet for Christmas, and I love it. Super thin, super legible, and, with the bead blasted ice hardened and submarine steel, super tooltastic. If nothing else, I’d love to see a review. I’m sure Mr. X could find the money for one in his couch cushions, lol.
The formex really was a dark horse, was not expecting you'd wear that one much
Posh G shock! Love that!
As a kid I had Timex wind ups, then Casio hit the market with the digitals and I loved them. I started looking for grail watches and dismissed the cheapies, but they didn't really fill the void. I've rediscovered Casios and I am happier. Got an F91 and a GW5610 that my kid loves to borrow, getting a G-Shock Ani-Digi when I find the right one. I now prefer something that makes me smile on my wrist than chasing rainbows. But if something does pop up, I'll get it as I can always flip it later.
Now do a SOTC "Mr. X" version!
The Mr. X Update is overdue 🤞
Except for the Casio affinity, we have a lot of the same taste in watches! I noticed you like Omega and Vostok brands. I love them. Of course I also love Bulova, Seiko, Wohler, and Nautis brands a lot. My budget is lower than yours but I’m working my way up to mid priced low end! LOL
That Aqua Terra really pops with quality after seeing everything else before it, a whole other level of finish
Hey Jody. I was sorry to see the Aerospace go - we spoke a few years ago about it in the early days of your channel because it was the watch that your man the Great Iain Banks wore. Good to still see him on your shelf though! All the best.
Still trying to hack my way through Surface Detail, now on audio book........ 😬
@@JustOneMoreWatch Ah, what I'd give for Just One More Culture novel...
I replaced my 009 bezel with a stainless steel insert and a coin edge bezel and it’s fantastic! Really brings out the rugged tool watch aesthetic, and bring out the blue dial. Orange silicone strap brings out the orange “divers 200m”
What an update , interesting to see what have happened with your collection, it’s everytime interesting having sort of a rewind to see how everything developed. Keep up the good work, as German watch go for Sinn, they have as well nice dress watches, though I would see somehow there a 356 in your collection. Happy 1 st of advent and keep up the good work 🙏🏻
I’m watching this in August 2021 and having a chuckle. We’re currently locked down in Auckland and I’ve purchased 5 watches since then… funded by selling shares I picked up cheaply during our first lockdown in March 2020.
I find myself watching your channel more than any others . Educational ,informative and great presenting skills that are rare on YT. Bought a couple of the watches you have featured on the strength of the reviews. Nice work!
My best purchase of the week: The Weishi 1000 timegrapher. Since my modest collection of timepieces consists mainly of wrist watches under 100 $, a timegrapher is very useful to adjust the sometimes wide deviations. My black Loreo was running 25 seconds too fast in a day. Since the adjustment it is around 0 seconds, quite a difference.
Wearing a Pagani while working on the car, makes sense.
You'd probably wear a Richard Mille if you were working on your Pagani :D
@@marksaxby607 1ioiiii88i
Wrist time makes complete sense for us and a good accounting tool for you too. Cheers Jody 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍😎
2 Fossils, 1 Breil, 1 Sthurling original , 1 Tissot, 1 San Martin, 1 Police, 1 Raul Braun auto, 1 Boss, 1 Accurist leather strap taken off as its knackered😂, Garmin 35 fore runner for my biking and running. 3 are dive watches, 1 being quartz and the rest are dress type watches all quartz except for the Braun. All quartz watches have had new batteries. So it’s 11 in my collection. My son Matthew however has taken possession of my gold seiko automatic from the 70s which my grandad bought me which was my first watch. He said he needed to borrow a watch and he’s kept it.😂 think it looks like a Seiko Sarb looking thing.
I can't imagine having more than 5 watches. You're a real player!
That Navitimer is gorgeous and looks perfect on your wrist. Definitely my favorite of your collection. Congrats on owning it.
The value of the Detroit Mint and such a great company makes it worth owning. I love mine and use it while driving one of my vintage cars makes for all around fun drive.
My Casio World Time is one of my favourite if not the favourite watch, 18€ total, minus 1-2 seconds per month, ten year battery and ALL the functions which don't require some extra sensor. It's just a beast. If the resin strap dies some day, it will go on either a black 18mm mesh or a red&black zulu.
2019 SOTC: 29 MIN
2020 SOTC: 39 MIN
2021 SOTC: 49 MIN!? 😂
🤣 I noticed that! Potentially!
how many watches are they in total?
@@JustOneMoreWatch how many watches are they in total?
By 2025 it may be time for mini series
Always love to watch the JOMW state of the collection!
Polished centre links was what steered me from AT to Explorer. The brushed bracelet looks great, Omega please take heed. 🙂
The Formex looks like it was made by a company like Black & Decker or Bosch. Like a powertool.
Definitely an appliance. But isn't that the very definition of a tool watch? 🤔
I've been looking forward to this one!
My SOTC (12 watches):
1 Zelos Hammerhead V1 bronze/mereorite
2 Casio G-Shock GD350
3 Seiko SNKM97 + orange strap
4 Orient solar panda wv0041tx + rally strap
5 Pagani Design Yacht master Grey dial Steel bezel
6 Pagani design Mocktail brown dial black leather strap
7 Ciga Design Z series in black dlc with a carbon pattern strap
8 Tissot MotoGP 2016 quartz chrono
9 Alpha Daytona silver dial (old 6263 Rolex Daytona looks)
10 Pagani design Submariner
11 TW Steel TW924 (Yamaha watch)
12 Pagani Design Daytona
7 of these are discovered through you, so many thanks Jody! Also the Alpha Daytona and Casio GD350 both really deserve a review on this channel.
Great collection mate! I feel personally responsible..... 🤣👍
Hi Jody. I had a Vostok Amphibia that was gaining 7 seconds per minute. Demagnetizing didn't fix. Photographing its balance and videoing in slow motion showed coils of the hairspring touching and sticking together. A guy recommended brushing the hairspring with a tiny artists paintbrush dipped in alcohol to get the oil that was sticking the hairspring loops together. That fixed it!!! The only disassembly was removing the caseback. You may be able to fix your speedy Omega yourself!
Oooo! I might try that....... But if it doesn't work, then it's a terrible waste of alcohol 🤣
@@JustOneMoreWatch Try demagnetizing first.
“If my wife watches this video and this watch isn’t number one, I’d be in big trouble”
Truly underrated joke here 😂
11:20 Almost spat out my beer.
Hahahah same.
I bought myself a Bulova MarineStar early in the year and wore it until I got a Phoibos Wavemaster after watching the JOMW review. Been wearing it ever since
I wish you would try a Omega NATO strap. They are bullet proof and cleaned up nicely. The Orange with black trim one looks like brown leather when it gets wet. My wife and kids got it for me on Father’s Day and it is now my favorite.
Hi, Jody. Lovely collection and incredible top five. The Seiko and the omega there- similar but timeless in design. Actually I am quite happy with the Yema customer service. This year I bought an Yema Superman maxi dial which was running at +18 sec- the specs for the in-house movement are +/-12 sec. I send it back under the guarantee on 11.11.20 and received serviced on 20.11.20. I am residing in Bulgaria, so super fast and accurate service and Yema staff were polite and responsive enough. True, I would have preferred COSC specification after the service but anyhow - now it runs at + 10 sec.
I love your channel, Jody...you give watch enthusiasts a good name! Re your lack of a German watch for your permanent collection, I recommend a Sinn, specifically their 38.5mm pilot's chronograph model 356. I've got the now discontinued 356 Sa GR (Sa = sapphire (fyi, they have the same watch with acrylic for significantly cheaper), and GR = gangsreserve or something like that, German for power reserve), and it's one of my top three favorite watches (and my/my wife's collection includes Rolex, Zenith, IWC, Omega, Longines, Glycine, Squale, Seiko, a vintage Leonidas, plus any cheap heritage-esque-looking solar-powered thing I can find). The readily available 356 Sa is the same as my Sinn except that it has a day-o'-week window in lieu of the power reserve. I'm guessing it costs ~ $3200 as my pricier power reserve model cost me $3K back in 2016. Given your...how shall I say?...good Scotsmanship, it would likely be your second most expensive watch, but I don't think that you'd feel one iota of buyer's remorse. It's a fantastic looking and feeling watch, so well built, and I don't just use the chronograph to cook pasta...if you're creative, there are endless ways to use the chrono and pretend that it's coming in handy. Like you, I have a 7" wrist, and my Sinn 356 is my most flattering watch, rugged and masculine yet refined due to the modest size and to the excellent build quality. Mine's got an ETA, and I believe they now use SW...nothing special, but that's the reason it's not $5K...everything else is like a $5K watch.
Chinese watches keep looking better and better. Amazing quality.
25:10 My kid and I have been wearing our SKMEI Square Metals quite a bit.
I have the SARB 035 cream, and only wear it with non-metal straps, Vario leather in ‘espresso’ colour way for example to give a wonderful Coffee & Cream look.
I like so many watches including dress watches for “the office,” even though I don’t work in an office anymore!
Your Vostock’s are bananas 🍌! I’ve got to pick one up!
When I had to search through the watch boxes stashed in my sock drawer looking for long forgotten spare bracelet links, I knew it was time to take action! From a fellow victim of 2020 expansion one word of advice... Keto
Keto? Probably the one single diet I haven't tried so far 🤣 I'll give it a try mate.
"I still don't have a ..." Grand Seiko Jody, Grand Seiko!
That Yema does look clean and crisp. I can see what you like about it. I agree with the Omega Aquaterra. It has the nice omega logo, wonderful indices and such high quality makes for great wrist presence.
I only have one watch in common with your collection, just goes to show how much variety is out there.
I tend to find the newest watch gets the most wrist time, until I get another new one, at the moment it’s a Steinhart vintage red on a vintage leather strap, early in the new year it will be a Marloe Haskell Sand.
My two favorites are the aqua terra and the Navitimer.....the Navitimer is perfect with your leather strap! Its amazing.
Wear it more often.. 👍😎❤🤙💥
I’m with you with on a ‘no date’ watch with the exception of Casio’s etc. which obviously don’t need changing . It’s a right pain in the arse having to change the day/date on a watch I don’t wear on a daily basis. Cheered me right up (and less guilty) watching your ‘State of the Watch Collection. 😎
I just picked up my Damasko DS-30 from the post office today! If you want to add a German watch to the collection, try one of those!
Just a heads up, remove the battery from the omega, just in case any acid leaks!
I can't blame you for that Omega being #1, and it's the perfect every day watch. I also 100% agree with your decision to brush the mid-links. It looks much better that way.
Great SOTC. I had an issue with my Navygraf, but must say Yema's CS pulled through and righted the issues without any issues. A lot more than can be said for the frankly appalling customer service from Timefactors UK. Think I might get a Ali express full metal set for my G-square too, yours looks ace!
What happened? I'm lusting after a watch from timefactors ;p
@@Iceberqe It's a one man shop and the owner is a horrid man. I ordered a couple of watches, eventually only one got delivered. Waited for the next window and reordered the other one. When I received it, it was damaged/had a defect, immediately sent an email with a picture. He agreed it was there, sent it back the same day. Then all the Mary emails started. Still waiting for my money back. Just do your research, there are plenty of horror stories online about his customer service, but it's his rude, arrogant behaviour that's the killer. Would never recommend Timefactors to anyone.
@@noeone3084 yes I read other accounts on Eddie's rude behavior, but i was curious about your personal story. Problem is that he makes really nice watches and he's the only place to get a nice, vintage inspired watch with a white explorer style dial in 36 mm 😂 I guess I'm willing to take the risk
@@Iceberqe If you manage to get a good one, then there's no harm done. Good luck.
Still chunky but funky! Thanks for the fun video!
Carbuncle!!! 😂🤣
Great run through! It was fun to see what sticks with you, and cool to hear you break it down to sub-categories of wrist time. Good stuff!
Great variety to your collection. Really enjoyed the video. The Zelos skeleton watch and the Gerlach LED digital watch stood out (if only it had an auto turn on when you tilted the wrist.) Both stunning watches. Have to agree that the Omega Seamaster Aqt pips them to the post though - what a beauty!
Hey jody, can u review the steinhart ocean one 39 with the updated ceramic bezel?
This is what makes you a great reviewer!! Most of your favourites I would be happy to give away in a "jumble sale" (except for the Omega at the end... what a beauty). So I will continue to watch your channel... for you are dispassionate, clear and unbiased... well you must be given the state of your collection!!!!!!!!
They all do the same job, Stephen..... 😉
Would love to see if a Christopher Ward c65 could fill that Oris 65 gap for ya. Better price and keeping it British 🇬🇧 👍
The Aqua Terra looks so much better with the brushed center links. Great move 👍🏼
Jody we all regret selling things we shouldn’t have. Several years ago I sold a USA made music man sub five string bass which was an affordable model produced by music man from around 2004 to 2006. I thought it was too heavy so I sold it in order to buy a Mexican made Fender Jazz Bass. Big mistake I so regret making but we move on. As far as a German watch for your collection I say go for Sinn. Stay well.
Love that Zelos! I know whats coming next in my box. The hands on the San Martin are killer.
I just picked up a loreo, it came in today! I was definitely not a fan of the bracelet, that pressed clasp felt really unbalanced for my small wrists. Luckily I had a spare glidelock style bracelet laying around, I’ve been really happy with it. I got a good one too, almost no bezel bounce or backplay. It’s always a gamble when you’re on a musician’s budget but I think I got the jackpot. Love the videos, keep it up!
The breitling navitimer is not too big for your wrist: it looks gorgeus and you should wear it more.
You are, of course, quite correct mate.
Agonising over Tudor Longines or an Omega. Think I'm going to pull the trigger on the Omega. Beautiful Beautiful watch.
Loving my sarb033. Sold my sarx055 because it was too big for me and regret it. Until I purchased the sarb033. In love mate ! Got the corgeut 'railmaster' in blue dial on its way from Ali. If you want to unbox it Jodie let me know. Cheers
Some amazing watches in there. Massive fan of that Formex, wish they'd find my social media haha
The Willard got the flip then!!
100% knew that was getting flipped, overpriced below average watch
Same day I made the video.... 🙄
@@JustOneMoreWatch Damn- it shows Seiko you mean business on their QA and design decisions, I had it making it to this year's SOTC - loved those videos too
@@gamblers220 QC, not QA, right?
@@trevbarlow9719 Yes, good catch (QC)
Breaks my heart your Vanuatu is gone. I love mine. I have a Sinn 556i on the h-link bracelet I'm planning on selling. I bought it new around 6 months ago and It's in extremely good condition
Watching this and my partner says, "Are you still looking at watches?" I said no, this is a video! Lol! Nice work Jody! Just added a Zelos carbon dial to the collection and nearing that 200 mark. Time to flip some so I can add others.
A definite style, Casio, Chinese, Omega and odd and ends. For your German watch you could look at Glashutte, saw one advertised on Wish today, didn't catch the price but the Tudors and Breitlings are pretty cheap.
Wish is a big no no! All fakes.
Completely unrelated question. Is the Pearl DG5833 GMT movement in Pagani Design GMT homage reliable? Any experience? Jody or just the commentators? Please give a like just so ppl could see. Really important for job purposes.
Wow, a heart symbol added from the man himself, thank You! Still noone answered with experience about it. Oh well.
Thanks Jody, your collection of 40+ makes my JOMW inspired collection of 30+ feel much more normal now!
Happy to help Mike, and thanks for watching!
Hi Jody, nice video and nice to see you doing an Omega! It would have been noce to see you have a Submariner in hand too. About the clasp, this is very Omega, seamaster clasps dont close on a jiffy you need to push hard or hold behind
Loving the brushed centre links on the Omega aqua terra
Nice collection. I’m surprised the Casio MRW-200H isn’t in there. It has had a lot of wrist time for me this year and looked spectacular in the pool on a lucky holiday to the island of Rhodes I was able to get in a month or so ago.
There are so many watches in your collection I love, like the Yema. Shame they have bad customer service. The Omega Aqua Terra is one of my all time favourites anyway. And the SARB033, now there is one Seiko with a serviceable bracelet with solid end links and a milled clasp and you swap it out for something with hollow end links and a pressed clasp? Huh!?! 🤔 Finally the Guanqin Cheronometer that made it from the drawer of shame to the permanent collection. Impressive! 😁 Cheers.
Hi Alexander. Definitely prefer the sarb with its original bracelet mate. 👍
@@davemck1887 Hi Dave! Great minds think alike, mate!
@@AlexanderB. we're a pair of geniuses ! 😅🤣😜
Great SOTC video Jody! It’s encouraging to see someone that sees a lot of watches choose some AliExpress pieces for their permanent collection. Happy holidays and here’s hoping 2021 is an improvement on 2020!
Ok Jody, enough waffling. As nice as this collection is, you're missing a good inexpensive flieger, I'm sure you know which one fits the bill. Escapement time Type B. Get it in and on with the review :-)
It's good to see your most cherished piece gets the most wrist time and not the most safe time. Cheers Jody, great SOTC video.
Hi Dave! The Aqua Terra is simply one the most stunning watches ever, especially with this fully brushed bracelet. Cheers mate
@@AlexanderB. Hi Alexander, i totally agree. I just wish I had the money to buy these pieces. It's a great hobby but man it's an expensive one sometimes. It's worth it though..... eventually. I seem to spend all my time adding to my watch fund. Really addictive behaviour. 😁👍
@@davemck1887 Hi Dave I know what you mean. It's an endless quest 🙄
Dude...that SKX with the black bezel, dark blue dial...That's actually a very classy look. You talk about subtle, how little things, if not directly addressed go overlooked, but as a sum, make the look of a watch. The 'mismatch' of colour, but similarity of tonality is one of those things that fascinates the eye. This is a common design intent. An an example of this is the striping on the Ford Mustang GT500 Shelby, the assumption is that the stripes maintain their width throughout, but this is not the case. The stripe width conforms to the shapes and curves of the car, which is part of one of the many things that make it a car you cannot stop looking at until it's out of sight. You can capture the eye with a bling monster, or you can hold it by creating a mystery. The latter is usually the better option.
18 in my collection so far, mostly chinese specials, which includes 3 pagani's, 2 Carnivals 1 of which I recently bought and for £85 is simply stunning, 1 starking, a sinobi an Ouyawei which is a skeleton watch and gets an awful lot of wrist time. 2 Bulova's a fossil and 2 other fashion watches plus a few other cheapies from China. My Bulova marinestar gets a lot of love as does the fossil blue, but if it werent for the mrs id probably have another 10 chinese specials 😁
As always this is my holiday favorite I am at about 30 watches for this year and try to keep the number between 24 and 36 each year. That said, I had the same issue with the Doxa, go with a quality rubber or silicone for it and search for a quality Doxa buckle that will fit it. It kept it in my perm collection, with the Oris 65, the Captain Cook and the Original Waltham Diver, I also have that pre bond in my collection since 1988, and of course the original bin laden casio that one on wrist since I was 14 in 1980. Cheers from Boston.
I really think you should do a "State of the T-shirt Collection" video. My collection of graphic T-shirts has a special place in my closet. I choose to wear them in much the same way as I chose which watch to wear, which is based on the whim of the particular day and what I will be doing. The T-shirt I choose often determines which watch I will wear, and the reverse is also true. I am sure you have some interesting stories to go with the great graphic T-shirts you wear in your videos.
Your new Straton is much easier to read than mine. I rarely wear it because the hands don’t contrast well with the similarly colored cream dial. I guess I’ll have to sell mine.
The Navitimer in no way looks too big for your wrist. It’s the best looking watch in many ways in your collection IMHO.
Jody, Thanks for reminding me to stop chasing every shiny new NH35 diver and get that something special grail watch I will love to wear. Quality over Quantity. I have sold most of what I don't wear much, it's not hard once you start flipping. I am saving for that Omega Aqua Terra for dressing up and then the Breitling Super Ocean 42 for sport. Or a Laventure which are currently sold out. A cool Swiss micro brand you don't see everyday. San Martin has moved up a notch and I do like their new logo. But for $500 I 'd rather have a Glycine Combat for $330.
You need to get a Monta Triumph. Best 38mm watch, will give your Aquaterra super competition. 150m wr, 7layers of undercoating, all brushed bracelet and glide lock clasp, -5/+5 sw300 mvmt, 47 L2L, and only 9.5mm thin. Long lasting bgw9, checks all the boxes. Cheers
