Reply With QuoteNice one! Looks like a cracking piece. That lime shot looks like a torch shining! I take it you brought it new? I hear nothing but good things about the 9015 movement - would like to try one myself.

Nice one, i have an A1 aswell but the cheaper version. But hey i like it..
Nice one there Maro! There is something over that all black model!! I also like the Bronze model as well
Yea, like it. Would be cool to have the domed crystal and a bracelet, but you cant get everything:)
How is the bracelet on yours?
Yes if only we could get everything
I think the braclets is great.. It is thick and strong, just the way i like it.. It seems to be of good quality, and fits and match the watch perfect.. Both the watch and braclets screams toool ..in my eyes
In mine aswell!! Super toolish!
Havent used mine in a while but i will give it a new start tomorrow:)
It remind me to Artego 300M. I have Artego 500m and it is good value for the money, true BigChunkyDiver
Yea a little maybe, had 2 Artego 300m and i think its a big diffrens in the quality. Armidan has a more genuine feel all over i think.
Both my Artego had some problems with the bezel!
This model 500M have ceramic bezel and look more quality for the money then 300M. It is my favorite daily beater.
Are you sure that the Armida 500 has an ceramic bezel, i cant find any info about that?

Hit me with a photo:) havent got the chans to put my hands on the 500m yet!
He talks about Artego!
yes sorry, i know.. i dont think the Artego 500 has an ceramic bezel!!
Nice Artego there Plastikman
Hope it was not too many photos
Nice one. Totaly diffrent watch from the 300m!!
No, I love photos.. Especially when it is of such a great diving watch
The first was in a small stream of the old forest, away from human paths. I am a professional forester and go where the people are long gone.
Love my A1. Must have the best lume out of any of my watches, and the dome just makes it to me. Great value.
Was more than interested in the bronze A1, but not sure I could live with the non bronce crown, sure it'd really annoy me after a while.

Sounds deep! What exactly do you do? Think you need a cool toolwatch like Armida on your next expedition:)

I feel much the same way, not many Bronce watches out there with a bronce crown.. Perhaps a bronce crown may not have the strength, or problems with the patina inside the watch.. i dont know?.. but it would have been nice with both watch and crown in bronce!
[QUOTE=Malcolm68;2557855]Love my A1. Must have the best lume out of any of my watches
Yes fantastic lume, perhaps the best I've seen.. Also love the lumed bezel
For me Seiko frankenmonster have the best lume I had on my watches
Also have a Frankenmonster (the black/steel model), and yes also a great lume!!Originally Posted by plastikman
I've grown to like the A1 more and more. Love the dome.
Gray
Just took a quick pictures of the Armida Vs Frankenmonster.. Great lume on both watches!
I understand, you should try it...

Nice comparison picture of the lume!
I almost brought one for its high doom xtral.
It's a very high dome but really makes the watch for me.
Malc
Yes, that dome crystal really rocks
The dail design and hands design is extreme minimalistic IMHO, and the crystal has the opposite effect.. Make this watch really interesting..
I have an eta A1 & a miyota A1 & I also own an Artego 300m. Now I really like my Artego & it is my work watch but your'e spot on regarding the quality being better in the Armidas. There is a fair amount of competition at the price point of the Armida A1 but I believe the awesome domed crystal gives it the edge over a lot of the chunky divers in it's class.
Having own Maro's Armida in pvd I can also say it's one beast of a watch! Big size but damn comfortable! Bracelet, I guess is the same as Artegos (which I have owned a few of) is massive and superb quality, no cheap feeling there
Love the Armida A1 :)
