You're right; this DOES take care of that awful red frame! ; )
Michael, this was truly an excellent write-up, and the pix were truly superb! This presentation could -- and SHOULD, dang-it-to-cheez-whiz -- stand as a full-on review, and, IMHO, it should be moved over to the reviews section...
One of the things I especially like about your write-ups is that you're not afraid to add the boogers into the mix, and tell about them with complete honesty and openness. Not everyone can do this, especially if it involves a brand they especially like, or even love, in some cases. If something sux like an Electrolux, like, say, that wonky bezel mechanism, you point it out, and without fear. I like that, Michael! And then there's your enthusiasm for the product, even with the occasional booger hangin' out of the 'ol snot locker. It's very refreshing, as many of us old farts -- including Yours Truly - tend to use rather dry, technical/engineering prose to write about our newest wrist-dweller. Dang, you've shown me that I really gotta work on that, dangit-to-chicken McNuggets.™
As to the watch itself, count me in as a fan, mon ami! While the 50mm is more than I really want to snap onto my wrist, especially given Wing's proclivity for BIG, heavy watches, our dear be-winged friend has done guys like me a solid, making 45mm virgins, er, versions, dang it, and these both feel and wear much better for those of us who like a more moderately-sized timepiece (GOD, but I LOVE that word!!) bopping and flopping 'round our old wristeroo... (Now, if I could just talk him into making a 42 or even 41mm version for those of us who like our wartchezz on the petite side. Wing, if you're reading this, PLEASE hear my plea; I LOVE Aragon watches, but I sure wish you'd go to a smaller-still third size, as noted above; c'mon, Wingster, I KNOW you could DO it, and WE would reward you with even MORE sales...so, what'cha SAY, hm?)
Well then, to wrap things up, GREAT write-up, superb photo's, and a waaay cool watch that inspired them. And, of course, I want one of 'em, despite my VERY soon-to-be NBZ (No Buy Zone) Status, which is always imposed about this time of year, as we "shift colors" and make our yearly five-month pilgrimage to beautiful Israel, where it's all-but-impossible to have anything shipped to you from other parts of the planet. (On the PLUS side, my stalker is completely unable to track my location through the 'net, thanks to Israeli digital security services. )
Finally, please allow me to wish you my sincerest CONGRATULATIONS on obtaining this BEE-YOO-TEE-FULL WARTCH!! Enjoy it for many, many moons, Kemosabe! Live long and PERSPIRE!!

AND about stuff...my ma grew up poor in the depression...so all her accumulations were " treasure " furniture covered in plastic... no marks could be left on tables etc....sad but when she passed...nobody would even take her treasure for free...the market had evaporated for " brown goods " we had to pay to haul away treasure as trash
