Frag42 Having seen your wristie with the Armida I had to get myself one 

A different colour combo or the same?

 

I love this one, two different bezels and three different straps came with it, so lots of combinations to play with :)

Archimede Pilot 42 Bronze at around $700. I just really want a bronze case watch that will patina and age. 

 

Maevit, look at the Armidas. They have very nice brass case that develops a lovely patina, and to my mind once the patina has developed you'd be pushed to tell brass & bronze apart, and they are a lot cheaper than $700, approx half that.

 

I got mine for $340 used, only a few weeks old and with an extra strap. (mine is the dateless one which is now sold out)

I had to get the date version as the others had sold out, I really like it and its starting to colour up nicely

Did you really get 3 Straps? I got the rubber and green Nato with mine.  Have to say its pretty greta value

Yes I got an extra strap from the guy I bought it from. The rubber and NATO that came with the watch and a sort of sailcloth strap that is green coloured, the colour matches the green of the dial :)

Definitely a gen Tudor black bay is a target for 2014. I have pre-ordered these 2 watches and hope they come in February... http://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/Nav-B-Uhr-44-handwinding-bronze,811.html http://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/OCEAN-One-Vintage,817.html Sent from my RM-821_apac_singapore_293 using Tapatalk

 

I took a photo of a friend's Steinhart the other day.  Pretty nice!

 

I especially loved the tall, sapphire dome, which has a much more pleasing look than sapphire crystals on, say, recent Speedmaster Professionals.
