    I'm seriously considering flipping the Artego....

    ...500m in anticipation of more Tsunami's from Jake. One problem is I'm still waiting on a replacement bezel insert to remedy an issue with the luminous material coming out of the markers. Since I received my pre loved Zero II Stealth I find myself less willing to give the Atego very much wrist time. Granted I do wear it at work which can be rough from time to time, its only taken one noticeable dink on the side of the case which could easily be buffed out. It's a great watch, but I'm itching for another Tsunami and won't have much more room with the Olivier on the horizon. What do you guys think?

    GRUNT!
    Said it before,saying it again.Makes more sense to me to have a few,special pieces that get wrist time as compared to having a bunch of watches just sitting on the winder or worse,in a closed up box!If it ain't gonna get worn,move it along to someone who can give it the wrist time it deserves!Just my 2 cents,for what there worth...

    If you need to sell it to free up funds for a new piece then I'd sell it, but if you still like it, and don't want to beat up a new Tsunami, then you could keep the Artego as a work beater.

    Or... keep the Artego, sell me your Zero II, and then buy a nice new Tsunami?!

    If you don't wear it than flip it, but as a work beater it is a good choice and pretty tough imo
    Haven't had a Tsunami yet, maybe it is same tough

    Sarge, you're 100% right. Once I get confirmation on the bezel I will make arrangements to sell it.

    Stuart77, just noticed you have 999 posts, hahaha. Regarding my Zero II Stealth..... Not a chance in hell my friend. hahaha, appreciate the enthusiasm though. I love this watch too much to part with it.

    Happyholiday, I'm sure the toughness is comparable. Because Tsunami's tend to wear smaller than the case size would suggest, it seems my Zero II is less prone to dinks than my Artego as both have seen wrist time during regular work hours as well as motorpool and training operations. All of my watches stay under the cuff of my ACU top for the most part anyways, and scratches are fairly avoidable in most situations.

    I really appreciate the feedback guys! Thanks :D
