Anyone here have an Aristo pilot? If so how is the quality? Am I better off with an Archimede? I'm partial to the Damasko DA36 but it's a bit out of what I should be spending due to my impending closing on my new house. Funds are tight but I need my watch fix, you guys can understand. |

Ask e.avery. I sold him an Aristo. There a very solid watch. The other, Archimede is good also. Kind of a toss up there. |

I have an Archimede 42mm pilot and am very satisfied with it. The only comment I have on it, is the slightly odd lug size of 21mm apparently as a 20mm is a little loose and 22mm would have to squeeze.  |

You, guys, may already know this, but the ARISTO model advertised as "Арuсто" on the Gnomon watches is named that beacause it uses a russian Molnija (Lightning) movement. Арuсто is Aristo in Russian. Thought I'd clear it up for those who didn't know. |

Actually, I didn't ask about it. I just interceded with my useless info about Aristo.:cool: |

I am hearing rumors that Archimede doesn't ship gummy bears with their watches anymore. This might be a deal breaker! Last edited on Wed Apr 11th, 2007 01:49 pm by JCKoLnturn |

Ok, I'll throw my two cents in. Go to http://www.4abnet.com/ and check out these watches. You need to click on the email us to get the price on the Glycines (its $455). The Glycine Combat 43mm is a darn nice watch. I am not familiar with the other brand on the left. It sells for $499. Attachment: abnet.jpg (Downloaded 32 times) |
