Flexible lugs?

[Avi]

Hello folks,

One of my good friends is interested in this particular Oris. We happened to notice them mention "flexible lugs"

Would appreciate any input on what exactly do they mean, and if they do indeed make the watch more comfortable on the wrist.

What that means is the lugs pivot at the point where they meet the case. This enables the watch to sit more comfortably on the wrist. I have a couple of Williams chronographs and at 45mm they are a large watch. With the swing lugs they form to the shape of your wrist better than a watch of similar size with fixed lugs which have a tendency to protrude past your wrist at times .
Friends of Oris have a very nice Williams pointer date on a clearance sale at the moment , you should check it out. Tell Lisa I sent you.
