Yup, I agree. I have a feeling that the Archer Big Pilot may have shown up at your doorstep.

Okay, so pretty obvious for those paying attention. I got my Archer Aero on the weekend when I was at Al's place. He even pressure tested my 210 since he didn't have the pressure tester unit when he swapped the hands. Passed with flying colours. The cool thing is, Al documents the build on a CD. Nice keepsake. This watch has amazing wrist presence. At 42mm it's big but not too big and thick but not too thick... ie. about as perfect as you can get. The flat displayback crystal means it sits really well on my flat topped wrist. Thanks Al... this thing is bee-you-tee-ful! The heart:  The Aero:  Watch and maker:  My pair of Archers:  |

Amanda, in the pic with Al in the background, you can see the curve in the lugs. I'd say it fits like the fiver because of the flat caseback, but of course a bit smaller in both diameter and also thickness. I did see yours and helped out do the 'rock test'... i.e. we get super drunk and then throw rocks at the watch to see how well it sustains big shocks. But don't worry... all the dings buff right out.   |
