 This just came today.  I wish it would have been here earlier so I could have got it sized.  I have been wanting a tungsten for a while but all were too small.  Its a 46mm  case, rotating bezel, ETA movement.  The bracelet even has screws.  Very heavy for its size.  Sorry for the lousy pics.  Couldnt go outside.  We are having an ice storm today and supposed to get about a foot of snow tonight.  Yay.mistake.gif

 Thanks Tony.  I have screwdrivers but, not the correct tool for sizing bracelets. I used to do it at first but I cross threaded one on an Oceanaut so after that I just have the jeweler do it.  I figure it helps me build a working relationship with the store.

 That is heavy duty ... I am not familar with Tungsten watches ?!? ... As a kid  (1960's / 70's) tungsten was a term we used to signify the toughest of all in almost anything .... is it heavy or light compared to regular stainless ? It is cool looking for certain  hand6.gif

 Sweet watch Scott. I would also like to get a tungsten as well. I heard they are heavy!

Ice storm and snow... What's that? Supposed to be 77 and sunny today here in Socal.

Thanks CJ.  Tungsten is a very dense and extremely hard metal that is extremely scratch resistant.  It is also heavier than SS due to the density.  My watch guy worked on a couple tungsten watches and said he had a bracelet link shatter due to how brittle the tungsten is.  This watch is 46mm and weighs about the same as a 52mm.  It is very heavy for its size.
