Congrats Oscar & Tony on the new arrivals!!! happy guy.gif

Both look outstanding!!! thumbsup.gif

These "Brass" cased watches showing up on the scene raise at least as many questions as Bronze cased pieces have relative to the metallurgy IMO. ...not all "Brass" formulations have the same resistance to salt water and environmental elements...I'm wondering if these makers are using "marine grade" brass formulations at a minimum (too much zinc in the brass formulation...say 15% or more, and the resistance to corrosion is going to be a problem).

These are beautiful designs coming from Armida though...

Looks sweet Tony!thumbsup.gif

How would you describe the Gray color on the new Dart Moray?
Is it similar to the Anthracite Dial on the Ti47 or something a little different?

Love that new SS bracelet design! bravo.gif

TY Chris,from the look of the A8,I would say it is red brass,it's a bit deeper in color and not as shiny as yellow brass and honestly hard to distinguish from the bronze watches I own from when they were new...I will see how it takes to the liver of sulphur gel over the weekend.ThumbsUp02.gif

Thanks, Oscar and always happy to hang around here. For a while there, I was trying to determine the material on your newbie.
Looked like bronze but somehow a different shade and hue. I think all the elements and that lume work. Congrats!
