I have this in-coming.  The Swiss Military Watch - CX Argonaut 1000M Chrono.  I thought about getting a workout watch and then I seen this hunk of mass beauty and I thought gee if I just wear this puppy everyday, I'm sure I will get buffed...yahoo.gif  I hear it weighs like 25 pounds....subtlelaugh.gif

This thing is loaded, it comes with everything.  Just thought I would clue guys in..It even tells time to....face4.gif


I borrowed these pic's from a friend at wus

Well Teddy...that CX Argonaut looks like it fully lives up to (and then some) your love of "SUBSTANTIAL" hefty timepieces!!!  It looks hefty in the pics which may mean this thing is really BIG...what are the bezel diameter/ thickness dimensions on this beast?

Congrats...a real chrono beauty - I'm glad to hear that it tells time too!!!ThumbsUp02.gif

One of the more interesting case and bezel configurations that I have seen on any watch...I like this one ALOT (although probably too hefty for my average 7" wrist).

Can't wait to see some pics of that strapped to your wrist when you get it!!

John and Chris I really like this one.  The case is 46mm, and the thickness is 20mm.  The mov is a Chronometer-certified automatic chronograph ETA cal. 7750 Valjoux.  I cannot wait.

Wow, you will have a statement timepiece on your wrist when you wear this one! woohoo.gif   Next time you go diving you could probably leave your dive belt at home, enjoy your new watch.  hand6.gif
