Nice coming home from a business trip to see your "new watches", OH I mean your wife!!!

We all know the RR, now have a Blue and a Black.

All I can say about the SW 12,000 Foot is to quote Frank Barrone from Everyone Loves Raymond......"HOLY CRAP". This thing is a MONSTER at close to 50mm and 380+ grams.

As soon as I can get a second pair of hands to size this "bad boy" I'll post some wrist shots and pics.

This watch should get my personal trainer off my back for having a WIMPY left arm!!!!

First reaction, IT IS HUGE, but amazingly it is not a bad wearer on my 6.75 inch wrist, once you get past the weight it is pretty comfortable. I have not tried the rubber strap yet, may do that later.

Here are the pics!!!

Oh my, Nick - what a beauty! Look at the sheer size of those lug screws! A very impressive piece - and nicely presented too! Your personal trainer will now officially show you more respect, mate! And I like shots 2. 3 and 5 in which your pet carved turtle is checkin' it out :)

And Edgel - thats not a tool watch - its the whole tool box!

Yes sir - mighty nice! And terrific pics - thanks for sharing. Congrats! IanM hand6.gif

I'm envious especially of the 12000ft!

Thanks everyone!!!!

I wore this monster yesterday for about 8 hours and it is surprisingly comfortable to wear, once you get used to the weight of it.

It is a little "top heavy" because of the thickness, almost 24mm. I moved it up my arm to simulate a bigger wrist, mine is between 6.5 and 7 inches and it still appeared to be a little wobbly, I think it is just the nature of this beast. It will be interesting to see the difference with the rubber strap, I'll probably swap that out sometime over the weekend.

Congrats Nick on a Awesome 12,000 footer!....it wears much easier on the rubber strap I have found with a wrist under 9in.

Thanks Oscar, quick question do you know if they made these watches in any other year than 2005,, it seems like everyone I've seen has the 2005 date on it?
