Just in, an Aristo 3H109 WWII type Bomber watch with oversize crown and 46mm sand-blasted stainless steel case. It is the largest watch I own. The watch has a nicely domed mineral crystal that makes it a bit hard for me to get a good photo, but it is pretty slick in person. Note: there are no brand markings on the dial or the case back. Only the strap says Aristo.

The big crown winds the ETA 2824-2 movement like a hot knife through butter. Very smooth. The date window is small, but readable with white on black numbers.

The dial is extremely easy to read and this thing really glows in the dark. The coolest thing is the second hand is lumed so it too can be seen in the dark. I didn't expect that.

The polished backside has an exhibition window showing the basic ETA movement. Kudo's for Aristo including a darn nice leather strap. It's a tad long for me, but very high quality. It is lined with a material that doesn't seem to show sweat stains. Very nice for wearing in Arizona heat.

This watch also comes with an ER-6100 automatic movement. It also is available with a "pilot" dial with minutes on the outer dial. Amazingly (to me), there is an even larger version (for more money) that has a 55mm case.

Great choice, MikeThumbsup3.gif. I saw that in the flesh at an AD 2 weeks ago. Very tempting indeed. Enjoy it in good health.
