First of all, I love my Armida watch - A5 on bracelet. I wear it everyday. Great watch. Why the A5? The domed crystal, IMHO, is perfect whereas I find the superdomes too domed. Just my opinion, but that is why. BTW, I bought mine second hand, the the original owner had the bezel face and case sides polished, and it really dresses up the watch.

But what I would like to see is an A2 domed with snowflake hands, including a diamond second hand. Everything else the same. Now, THAT watch is one I would buy in a heartbeat.

The A2 is domed and you could have a custom made with snowflake hands by any watch-maker...Those hand sets are selling around the net at low price.
You would have a unique watch.

Except there is a big chance the lume would not match the dial/bezel...

True, there is a chance.

In many cases, you take that chance just buying a watch. As I understand it, many makers get their dials from one source and their hands from another. So, there is always some chance that the match won't be perfect.

If the A2 uses C-3 SuperLuminova and your replacement hands use C-3 SuperLuminova, you should be happy.

Just keep the original hands. FYI, I have an A2 and I LOVE it as is. ThumbsUp02.gif

Could you please post a pic of your version with polished bezel face and case sides? I'm a sucker for polished surfaces.

No no, not my thing !

The brushed finish looks much better !
The A5 is a very toolish diver.
