an Auguste Reymond Mega Boogie from shopnbc. I have always liked the watch and after looking at the Invicta Executive (new) in nrg's posts I decided it was a pretty good value. You don't get the really fancy dial the Executive has, but you do get a sapphire crystal (front) and a nicely decorated movement. You also get a bit of heritage and history with the name. Auguste Reymond and Unitas were once one and the same (so-to-speak).

shopnbc lists the size at 42mm. Others have it at 43mm and 44mm. It would be nice if people could measure a friggen case size. I see that a lot in listings (i.e. varrious case measurements for the same watch at different vendors). I got the black or gray dial. With the $20 off coupon and the $1.99 shipping it was a good deal. Scheduled delivery is mid-March.

UPDATE: I CANCELLED THE ORDER
:)

Mike,

That is not the watch U will receive:X Your watch will have an undecorated movement. I got one and sent it back.

Really?? I didn't even know Auguste Reymond made a watch without a decorated movement. But, thanks for the heads up. That's disappointing. Maybe I should just canel the order????

I didn't even know Auguste Reymond made a watch without a decorated movement. But, thanks for the heads up. That's disappointing. Maybe I should just canel the order????

Mike look at the post I made about my new AR. You might want to reconsider and pick one up again.:D

I saw your post. It is a great looking watch. However, I'm gonna leave things as they are. I just received a Poljot Aviator today that way exceeded my expectations. So, I'm set.

Okay, I'm confused...............will the movement be "raw" like the new Invicta Executive (which is dog ugly) or minimally decorated and tastefully "dimpled" like the old Executive or the Trias Unitas?

Also, I just looked up the price on the puppy, and it is about double what I paid for my Trias Unitas 6498 (a ZENO by any other name)!!!

From what i understand, U will receive a dimpled movement much like the one in your Trias watch. But, it won't be the ARSA signed movement which has (I believe) some higher spec parts, blued screws, and a "Geneva" type finish. These are also supposed to be hand made. I don't know anything about the one shopnbc has other than what U can read above. Once I found that out, I decided to cancel. You could buy both a Trias Backgammon and a Russian Poljot Aviator for almost the same money.
