GBOGH Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 ARCHIMEDE PILOT 42 BRONZE AUTOMATICGreat price for German made CuSn8 bronze case, Swiss mov't, and sapphire with AR coating. Just wish it was a tad bit bigger and with a 22mm strap, but at that price I may have to try it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xpletiv Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just wish the dial didn't look like a piece of paper. Bronze=cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBOGH Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) Arrived today and liking it. Case size is almost just right, strap is good, clasp is average, lume is very strong, but could do without the writing between the lugs. Overall very pleased though. The bronze color definitely has the pink hue to it consistent with CuSn8 that it is advertised as, and looks noticeably different in bronze color than either the Olivier or Zenton divers which are confirmed aluminum bronze alloy.Just need to get some patina going on it and will look great. Here's some pics in various lighting. Enjoy. Edited April 5, 2013 by GBOGH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteM Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Looks very nice mate...and I like the engraving on the lug side but then I am a fashionable sort of dude .. ;) ;) !!! The AR doesnt look as good as the sales pics...?? What do you think G ? Or is it your camera skills The finish of the brass is very nicely understated that brush finish really gives it a very classy look ...(Yes I am also a classy dude..!! ;) ) Decent price too but a 47mm would really swing it for me ( Yes I am also a swinging sort of dude !! ;) ) I always forget the designation for these Pilot dials...
