I personally am not a mesh guy, but I would love to see a bracelet on it.

I tend to like bracelets on my watches, I just find them more comfortable. AND if I want to change to a strap there's always that option.

I asked about the shark mesh, because of the lug design, thinking it was the best possible match up to it. But a real hard core integrated dive bracelet with divers extension would be great.

The mesh does look pretty good on itThumbsUp02.gif

Cheers

I like to hear it needs no bracelet , honestly this is also my opinion, but I also can hear it should be an option and I have to agree.
 So we will try a few more and see what we can get in a reasonable time.
The vintage one looks very nice I will ask our manufacturer if they can help and what's possible to get.
 Thanks for your suggestion so far, feel free to go ahead with your ideas.thankyou.gif

All the bracelet options look cool, especially Scott's vintage example. Somehow, the mesh just doesn't work on this watch though.

I am not a big fan of bracelets, but the picture of the one posted by melons fits the character of the Armida A1 with the Swiss ETA 2824-2.

I emailed Armida on 2/12 and here is the reply. Nothing about price, though.

Hello Paul,
it will be available when we get the next batch of watches.
Should be ready in April.
Kind Regards Chris

A question for all the Artego bracelet owners: What do you think of it?
Are there enough micro adjustments and does I have half-links to fit the wrist comfortably?
Tnx

The Artego-Bracelet is the most massive bracelet that I have. Very chunky and solid. I love that !
Very comfortable to wear and the clasp has four points of micro adjustments.

But no half links.


Has the new Armida A1 Bracelet integrated end links ?

4 adjustments is good. Don't know about the end links for the A1. The lugs are so short that I don't think you would even need them. But I don't know. Good question.

Thanks for the info.

Here two pics of links of the bracelet.






I would prefer integrated end links. Looks nicer...

I am considering a 24mm watchadoo or the Armida bracelet. I think the Armida is going to win. I like the links better.

I prefer the Armida Bracelet as well.

It is more unique and fits the case shape of the A1 better.

I agree. I have a 22mm Watchadoo for my other watches and when I hold it up to the Armida it reminds me of mesh. Not a fan of the mesh.

How were the screws? I've heard of people having Loctite issues.

I do not use Loctite and have no problems.

No it has straight endlinks.
If we would have done integrated than the center part of the end link would have been longer and that makes the whole watch bigger

I'm good with straight end links. The short lugs on the A1 look good with the straight ends and my 6.5" wrists appreciate no extra lug-lug length :)

I've got mine on a 24mm Artego bracelet and I think it looks great. I'm new to this forum and Armida's. Love the watch so far. Will post a pic. I think bracelet option makes sense.
