Archimede Pilot XL Manually Wound Watch With ETA 6498 TOP Movement
I recently discussed the standard Archimede Pilot XL Automatik watch here, for which there is a manually would analog, that has a subsidiary dial. A lot of you mentioned liking the good looks, fine iteration of the pilot watch look, and of course the reasonable price of $650. For those of you who are looking for a bit more, well here is something a bit more special with everything you liked about the original watch with a super nice movement. This is a version of the manually would model of the Pilot XL and has a subsidiary seconds dial. In all its German goodness it has a Swiss movement. Not just any ETA movement, but a "TOP" grade one. What does this mean though?Well most ETA movement arrive in various grades. Take for instance this caliber 6498-2. There is a basic version, and maybe a few until you get to the top. The highest level one uses the best parts and is nicely decorated. All this decoration ends up making the same movement much better, and multiplies the time production sig

No (wallpaper) love for the Constellation?
Aloha! Been browsing today. (1) A comment: Whoever SLRDude and Croco are, you guys do really amazing images. I am really impressed.(2) A question: Why no love for the Constellation? Are there any wallpapers out there for the Connie? (3) Why the connie? No offense to the rest of you fine folks, but I am a little on the small side (5'9, 160) and the Seamasters and other men's watches and such fit me like a manhole cover. (For the record, my other watch is a Tag 2000 series, mid 1990s, long live Ayrton Senna!). So, fortunately for me, most watches out there are just too big.(3) Anyone up to the challege for the Connie wallpaper?
