Looks great, I really really like that blue one! Wow. Is the case the same a the Helson Sharkdiver? It looks similar but somehow you've made your A3 look cleaner. I live the dial of the A3! Just when I thought I was ready to buy the A2 you thrown the A3 in the mix!!  You guys are killing me! |

Man it's hot!! Thank you Oscar, can't wait to see more pics. Since you owned a Shark Diver, can you say it wears about the same? Size seems similar. I love this blue and the dial too. |

Brice,I would say the A3 wears a bit larger,and is definitely heftier at 290 grams(on bracelet)...also they are not the same watch,the A3 is totally different. ....The double domed saph,as with every Armida is outstanding,bezel action is crisp and exact...it is 46mm,18mm thick,and nearly 52mm lug to lug.The bracelet sizes easily and uses thick lug screws...and once again.the color is awesome imho.   |

Thanks Oscar, I personally prefer it to the Shark Diver ( a fine watch by the way) but am thinking it may wear too big for me though if it wears larger than the SD |

That blue is STUNNING......I have a weakness for blue dials. I was getting ready to pull the trigger on an A1, and now I see this. I am getting a headache. UGH AWESOME watch !!!! |

I have my black A3 for 2 weeks and have to say it is perfect! Tried on leather vintage tan strap, on the polished mesh 24/20 and now I have it on the bracelet just for a try :) I was considering also A4 or A2, because I also like 22mm lugs... but I prefer domed crystal... dont like reflections of the flat glass... Accuracy like my A1 - uncommon! Very very accurate, much better than my other watch with COSC! It makes 2-3 sec daily, like A1... Bravoo Chris! Really perfect in every detail... amazing lume, nice and perfect crown, dial and hands are the best on the market regarding how easy is to see and read it. will see which strap will be the best option for me, it will be probably mesh or leather, because the bracelet is too heavy, like 24/24mm and 5mm thick solid bracelet :) The original Armida signed "isofrane style" band I dont like too much, but it is so so comfortable, robust, light and soft strap! Actually dont understand why people take expansive isofrane when this OEM strap is the same quality IMO. But I never have an isofrane indeed. And dont like "isofrane boom"... I consider other rubber straps more atractive :) I have noticed just one minus regarding caseback - sharp ring edge where touch the wrist. I like the caseback 0.5mm thinner with smooth surface without sharp edge. I like structured casebacks and this one A3 is really cool, but the last part/ring stick up uselessly. An antimagnetics characteristic is the reason maybe. The owners know what Im talking about :) I am considering to cut it off by my watchmaker. All it needs is to make this sharp edge curved, just 0.1 - 0.2mm cut off from the edge :) Last edited on Sun Dec 4th, 2011 11:52 am by vrcan |

After days of wearing I realized that edge on caseback is not problem at all.. it is FANTASTIC watch!!! accurate less than 2sec... highly recomended thank you Chris! |

Heh, I wear it every day and I NEVER adjusted the accuracy. Just with night position. It make +1 sec when it rest on the crown up position. And -1 sec with glass up. Amazing.... I am every day just within +- 1 sec... Chris, I like to know if is it top grade eta adjusted in 5 positions, or normal eta witj 2 position adjustements. Anyway it doesnt metter because it is ARMIDA and both my armidas are better then my cosc watches (rolex sub, breitlings...). Maybe just a coincidence :) |
