Custom Armin Strom - Build Thread

[WatchEater666]

I decided I wanted one of these about a year ago, but they never pop up used! So here I am, ordering one new :) I guess that alone says a lot about the brand!

Decided to go with Topper as they carry a few brands I love, and they were quick to reply VS the other dealers I reached out to. Great service so far!

What I like about the brand is:

a) Excellent finishing relative to what the big boys offer in the same price range. IE true hand finished anglage. The backside on these actually features 60 degree anglage instead of the usual 45 degrees!

b) No games! I like ordering from a brand without any dumb games.

c) Interesting movement. I love the dial side movement, and am a total sucker for the aesthetic. IE the Breguet Tradition :) Resonance is icing on the cake.

d) Customization. Pretty much anything can be customized.

Initially I was thinking of a blue/salmon color scheme, but then realized a pale frosted role gold could look cool...

Love heat bluing too so threw that in.

And here is what Claude sent over yesterday:


Strap is TBD, will probably do a navy blue alligator or suede. Hands might also change to be like the ones on their mirrored force model. Not too big on the skeletonized hands.
