Well, if your gonna go big.........

Post by Chauncy7 » Thu Feb 04, 2010 7:30 am

You might as well go real big!!!!! I love this F---in thing. It's really not as big as I thought or as people on the forums made it out to be. I've owned the CX12000 and this wears much more comfortable than that thing. The only thing that I could point out as a negative is the reflections off of the crystal......but you have to remember what this thing was designed for and why the crystal reflects is because it's so damn thick.....Who cares....I love it!!! I'm back on the CX Swiss-Mil team again and I'm glad. I always thought that the Argonaut model was one of the best chronos I ever owned. Enjoy! (and NO I'm not posting this on WUS.....I don't need all of the comments as to why and does it need the HRV :bootyshake:)

Wow, that's a monster! The lug to lug doesn't seem very big at all, but the height is insane! Looks like the height of 2 G-Shocks stacked on top of one another. :headbang:

NICE!

I had a similar watch (CX something..) and I agree that is not that big. They are really well built, too!

CONGRATS!! :cake:

Sweet pickup! BTW..what is the lug to lug on it? Also, what's the width of the bracelet?

It definitely looks to wear quite well. I had a love/hate relationship with my 3 cx12000's, but quality was not a concern.

So, when are you gonna take a shotgun to it? :ak:

Just kidding (sort of -- after all, it can take it). This is definitely one girthy watch, and it looks capable of handling every inch of its 20,000ft depth rating (did that sound gay? :gayumbrella: ).

Anyway, I still think you'd look better in a PVD'd 600M, but this beast is a close second. ;) Wear the absolute hell out of it.

what a beast! Nice one Jim. I had no idea how thick those suckers were, wow. :shock: Nice layout though, and fit and finish look fantastic. What's the weight on that one? Congrats! :cheers:

One detail I especially like is the beefy flip lock portion of the clasp. Looks good man - you've got the wrist for it.
I don't see your name on the list.

So when we were talking about two watches stacked on top of each other, it wasn't metaphoric.

28 mm :o
