so on another forum, there was some controversy surronding the A-5 taking design elements from other companies watches. The obvious and most bitter one was on the case itself, being the Kobold case.... for some reason their was alot of venom towards the A-5, but not so much towards the other companies who have also used the Kobold case design. next was there were alot of that other forum members, who were critiqueing and pretty much condeming the A-5 dial as a blatant rip off... Well, I don't have a Kobold to compare with but I do own a DWP, so I took a crappy comparison photo, so you can make your own decision on it. to me, there similar but very much different enough that the A-5 is original in it's design..

There is not even a close resembles, knowing what I know of Armida after handling a A2 you couldn't give me a Boschet, Out of the three watches you posted I'll go with the Armida. Especially how he took care of this customer see link below. This gesture was beyond any customer service I ever heard of, It wasn't about the money he felt sorry for what happen, and took care of his customer kudos to Chris. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f74/armida-customer-service-rocks-617613.html

I don't know of too many watch companies that would do that..

There are soo many companies using the same cases these days, that it really doesn't matter to me. What matters is what they do with that case, in other the whole watch, dial bracelet, movment, fit & finish, etc.. another comparison is Arctos and Zenton, also this case has been used by alot of other companies, I think Helson also used it.. Again I apologize for the fuzzy photo... Attachment: IMG-20111205-00474.jpg (Downloaded 185 times) Last edited on Mon Dec 5th, 2011 10:03 pm by joecb |

so on another forum, there was some controversy surronding the A-5 taking design elements from other companies watches Truly the dumbest arguments found on forums. Which watch does not take some cues from another? The Kobold people are pissed that they spend 3 times as much,for in the end is just a watch. Others have their darling brands etc. and feel this need to be the defender of perceived ingenuity. In the end all these micro brands are not watch "Makers" but producers. (For the most part). They pick and chose cataloge parts and make a watch. What does seperate them is their QC and CS. The benefit to us is an above average product at an affordable price. As said often, buy what you like and dont look back.

Well, about this A5 case, Tactico was the first to put this one the market after Kobold: http://www.tacticowatches.com/crbst_3.html and it's made in Hong-Kong. Laco had taken out few months before that ,a similar design with the crown oriented differently: http://www.worldwatchreview.com/2010/12/25/laco-squad-1000-meter-automatic-diving-watch-ref-861704/ And we all know that Dievas was there with the Vortex even before... Fricker has apparently open a facility in Hong-Kong so this case is flying everywhere now: No surprise! So the bad mouths can unleash them venom on Armida but they should then do the same with everybody: Counting on the fact that Kobold would own this design...?? But it's not the case in fact: Kobold don't seems to own a damn frog crap there as this case became a catalogue product from Chinese case-makers and is running freely in the watch world... Anybody can make those cases: Even Kazimon proved it for the fun. Let's chill on that and enjoy the watches: Nobody is forced to watch or buy there...

All of these threads blaming Armida for ripping off Kobold has been very entertaining. Why the heck should anyone give a rats arse what someone else likes. It seems some have a bone to pick with a certain forum, therefore their forum watch is taboo. It's easy to be Mr. Badarse Watch Cop when you sit at the computer. Hey lets jump on the band wagon and flame this watch or love that watch. I'm wearing my A5 as I type. I like it, heck, I like all my watches and everyone else's too. The problem with micro brands is that they make it possible for a below average John Q like me to spend lots of money on watches. I like my A1 too!
