Yay! I finally got one.




It casts a big shadow.


The back side.


And the front side.


Well the SwissChamp XAVT is big. I wasn’t aware at how large until I got to fondle one. I had assumed the SwissChamp XLT was big. Well…

From left to right: SwissChamp XAVT, SwissChamp XLT, SwissChamp.




Because of the scales….

From left to right: SwissChamp XAVT, Traveller Lite, Altimeter Plus, and Voyager.

I love mine.  I'm trying to come up with a lockable lexan case so I can have it at work.  I really love the barometer.

I've actually used it for opening watch backs before. Many (but obviously not all) of the tools are very useabe.

Long live the king!

Random question, Whippy, but what tools do you actually use from them all?  Would you not be better off with a:  Traveler Lite; a Watch Case Opener; and either a SwissChamp, Cybertool 41 or Juice, instead??

Nice seeing them next to each other,its massive and I thought the Swiss Champ was a bit to much.Real neat for your collection though.
Rest is not idleness,
and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day,
listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is by no means a waste of time

Now? (After being on MT.O for TOO many months?) Just the barometer  ::)

But I'd love to have it on my desk, as much for show and play factor.  Just gotta figure out how to keep it from walking off...

I think it was Def who posted about carrying the XAVT using a handcuff pouch  :think:

Carrying an XAVT has been discussed before.



Despite the picture above, I don't :)
I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.

That's exactly the same camera case I have  :tu:

Is the XLT the one below the XAVT? And is it still a queen or a possible user?

The XLT is borderline.  Personally I would say collectors piece but Vic. do actually make a pouch specifically for it, so what do I know :D

Well, you and I both know that whomever actually does carry an XLT around on their belt will need a back brace in their later years. >.>

Not sure if I would consider one or not. To be honest, my eyes stray to that Vic SwissChamp XXLT every time I see that photograph.
