Would seem to be a bit much for the back of the wrist on someone that is skin and bones.

The watch, compared to today's behemoths, is truly thin.

There is a slight bulge their as Elgin made it water proof by making a solid caseback, and the movement is reached by removing the crystal, which I suppose must have a gasket.

It really feels good on my wrist.
