The Artego landed this morning and my 1st impression is WOW!....TY Robert for a awesome watch and #01/50!  Here are a few Q&Ds of the watch which is truly impressive in both QC,CS and fit & finish imho...the ceramic dial pops along with the counter-sunk bezel which is also shared by the caseback...the size and weight are awesome as well as the packaging...you will feel the heft upon arrival!....and you can view the specs here: http://artego-watches.com/ The Miyota auto winds effortlessly and the date and hands set firm and respond nicely with the screwdown crown!The bezel on mine ratchets beautifully and is nice and firm,without play....an AR coated, sapphire crystal makes viewing a breeze and the Lume is amazing!!.The very generous 24mm bracelet is well made with a scissor style locking divers clasp and was easy to size....the drilled lugs will make for some easy strap swaps as well and the curvature of the case hugs your wrist gently! ...Overall I am very happy and can see that Robert/Artego Watch put some thought into his creation with not only a diver in mind but WIS of all types and levels of enthusiasm...I would reccomend this nice Big watch to all my WIS Buddies as it truly is a real value for $ spent imho!...more pics to follow...       |

Toss up on which I like best. Blue or Orange. If I had not been doing all these home improvements and all would likely go for both but can't right now. LOL But just may go for one. Got to check my paypal slush fund. |

There was already one on WUS getting flipped in PVD with that blue dial. At the price it 'd be hard to beat it. It's pretty close in line with the prices from boschett and benarus for similarly specced watches. |

Congrats Oscar. It looks great. I was actually checking them out on line the other day but didn't pull the trigger as I could not decide which to go with. There are so many options. The site's pictures don't do the watch justice and yours really help picture what the watch really looks like. I don't wear PVD watch so that rules out a few:) don't like the silver bezel on the blue and orange dials. Rules out a few more. :) I am really note sure about their orange color, it's a bit light and faded to my taste. So I'm torn b/w black and blue dial with black bezel but then what SS finish!!! :) I saw two guys on WUS posting their pics and these puppies look great on the wrist!!! yours looks great on the wrist, great pics!! Thanks for posting them. Congrats again. Wear it in good health!! |

Congrats Oscar!!!!...I had been checking these out as well...and man, your great pics always really show off the goods and get the 'ol WIS appetite salivating!!! These are the best pics I've seen of the Artego, and this Blue one is a unique looker. For the price, the casework and details look truly outstanding... and the ceramic dials really give these a unique look!!! Very nice... |

Great pics and enabler, O! This puppy has just now managed to jump the queue on my wishlist.............. Brice, I might just go for blue dial / silver bezel. Does that mean we are no longer buddies?   |

I have watches with silver bezel and like them including the Halios I'm wearing now but somehow the silver bezel on these light blue and orange Artego seems to beg for contrast, seems too light a combo for my taste:) I really like these watches. I was gonna get a bluering but these are way cool too!:) |

Really very tempting and now, even 2 buddies of mine at work whom I showed the watch to are seriously considering.........and they aren't even WIS. |
