Got this yesterday and I like it more than expected
For me it is to much with the bracelet so I quickly put the rubber on and it wears excellent. Still toolish but more dressy than an A1
Case is a well know one and I am glad we could get it. The bezel is a 120 clicks, ETA 2824 movement -  antimagnetic - 1000m - HRV  just to give you a few specs.
 I will wear it for a few days and will take a few more pictures

Wow! It looks great!! You guys are on a roll!! I really like this one happy guy.gif
I know some will say it's a known case and this Kobold like diver has been done recently but I personally think yours I'd a nicer execution and a cleaner dial especially!!
Congrats on what will surely be another home run!!bravo.gif

I have just one word... WOW!!

Nice job Chris. This will definitely be another home run for you. Please put me down for one. This will be a special Christmas gift from Santa.

Congrats to you and the Armida team for another beauty.

I just ordered one!!! Just saw this and it gave me a woody!!! I don't own anything with this case/style, and you made it affordable, and of great quality, the bracelet just put it over the top for me...Good thing I have paypal funds from selling old watches on EBAY, your timing was perfect, the money was burning a hole in my pocket!!!

Someone made a post on another forum that having a 42mm case diameter, the dial opening will be small. I hope this is not true.

Oscar, exc-hulk, and joecb... Please let us know if this is true. I have a 7.5 inch wrist, and if the A5 dial opening is small, I'm not so sure about ordering one. Any help you guys can give us will be appreciated.

I believe the dial is 28.5mm,which is about the same as most divers of this size...ie:Submariner,Kazimon 1500,Seamaster and Kobold to name a few,it also has a 3.5mm double domed saph which will accentuate the dial...the bezel on the A5 is 44mm so it will wear larger,and overhang the 42mm case making for a better bezel grip imho....when mine arrives I will post pics,and measurements.I also have a 7.5in wrist and dial size has never been an issue...

This one may make a great Christmas present :)

I don't think the dial is small but I do think the design/proportions with the wide bezel makes the dial look smaller than it is. But that's the style of the watch, just like it was with my Kobold Seal and same with the similar looking Tactico.

This is a great watch at a great price and Armida in a short time has proven they put out not only great lookin but also quality watches!... And crazy Lume!!! happy guy.gif

100% agree Brice ! ThumbsUp02.gif

The wide bezel fits with the case very well.

Hands and dial also fit together very well.

the dial size reminds me of the 1km dial with the domed crystal, at first I thought seemed small, but it didn't take me very long to really love the look of it.

I hope Armida will come out with a different dial design with this case....white dial with black markers? Or even in PVD. Way to go on another great timepiece!

Just got mine in a trade yesterday. Original owner had the bezel and the case side professionally polished. I think it adds a bit of class to the big tool diver.

 



 

 

BTW, the bracelet on this thing is...........wow..........just wow. Other than a ratcheting clasp, it is perfect.
