Who should buy which.
The SHY028 39mm BB58 Snowflake Diver: A buyer who wants a vintage-inspired diver with a distinctive handset at a low price. Choose the SHY027 if you prefer standard hands, or a titanium diver if weight matters.

Before you order.
At 13 mm thick with a 46 mm lug-to-lug it wears chunkier than a vintage original, and THORN does not state an ISO dive certification or a power reserve.
The 13 mm case is still thick beside its 39 mm diameter. Confirm the exact variant and dimensions against a watch you already wear before ordering.
