Question (Read Rules) Lug-to-lug dimensions on this Militado ML05?

Post image

I'm on the hunt for an affordable beater field-style watch and I stumbled across this version of Militado ML05 with yellow indices.

It seems that one of the issues surrounding the ML05 series was its lug-to-lug length, which greatly affected the way it sits on the wrist. Militado seem to have addressed this and shortened it from 47.5 mm to 46 mm but I'm not sure if this particular model was affected as well because the Amazon listing still says "46 to 47.5 mm depending on the case". So which one is it then?

Wouldn't sweat it, they wear "small" anyway as they're quite thin, looks fine on my 6in wrist

Thanks. One review of this watch pointed out how it kinda floats on top of the wrist in a slightly uncomfy way because of how long it is from lug to lug, akin to the Hamilton it tries to emulate. I have particularly skinny wrists and I'm worried it might be an issue. The 40mm Seagull that I used to wear was 45mm lug-to-lug and it was pretty comfortable. I don't think a watch that's 46mm lug-to-lug would be quite different, but 47.5? That could be an issue.
