Swiss Military Watch Argonaut 1000. Chronometer certified automatic chronograph ETA 7750 Valjoux. 46mm case and 20mm thick. I really dig this pup. There's a really nice box that it came in and man that's got to be the biggest wooden case I ever seen, also came with really nice rubber strap. It does not wear big. I would say it wears small, it just does not look like a 46mm, it's thick. I have 7.25 wrist and I like the way it looks on my wrist and it feels good. I will never sell it and it's a keeper for sure and I say that all the time and wind up selling anyway, but this time I mean it.....face4.gif Hey I'm serious this time. Here's the pic's.

Really nice brute of a tool watch there, Teddy. Agree it doesn't look as big as a 46mm. I think it's because the 20mm height gives it the balance for a good width/height ratio. Great pictures, too. hand6.gif Also agree it's a keeper. Those profiles are hard to find.

Very cool watch. I tried to get the smaller (relatively of course) SW1 a while ago but wasn't lucky. Love the Argonaut!

That Argonaut looks perfect Teddy. perfect.gif

I have to agree with you regarding wearing smaller than the 46mm bezel dimension. I really think the bulky, but well designed lug design (nicely curved around the wrist) helps to balance that fantastic, beefy, unique case design.

Great wrist shots...that Argonaut wears perfect on your wrist!!

You definitely have a "KEEPER" there Teddy.

Very sweet!!yahoo.gifyahoo.gifyahoo.gif
