    Great choice. In fact, all colors are sold out of the 200 piece limited edition except for three Argonaut 1000, yellow models, which are still available for sale at our US office.

    Good to know, I just find 20mm as to thick. Do you have any around the 14mm mark?

    Our AIRFORCE I is 13mm thick (see: Airforce I | Charmex Watches)

    Our SW 1 and Hurricane are both 17mm thick (see: Limited Series | Charmex Watches)

    All these models are very comfortable to wear, even on smaller wrists.
