    The Top Gun Chrono 3799-01 has a diameter of 46 mm (but in the IWC service Database it says 44 mm). The other limited editions 3799-03 (Zegg) and 3799-04 (Carlson) are also listed with 44 mm. So which is the correct size, does the Top Gun have 46 mm and the others 44 mm, or do all have 46 mm or 44mm ?

    I had thought...

    ..that the The Top Gun [b]Double Chrono was 46mm, as were all variations of ref. IW3799xx. The "regular" Doppelchrono in steel (which finally came out) is 44mm, and the Top Gun Chrono, ref. IW378901, is 44mm.

    so thought I...

    ... but Zegg told me that the 3799-03 has 44 mm so i looked in the IWC service database and there the 3799-03 and -04 are listetd with 44 mm. But perhaps this is only a mistake in the IWC service database. Could you please verify this with Schaffhausen MF?

    You are right!

    The Top Gun doppel is 46 mm as is the Carlson, the Top Gun normal chrono is 44 mm
    The original Ceramic doppel is also 44 mm.
    I am 100% sure as I have seen them all live and tried them on my wrist :-)
