Armin Strom Reveals First In-House Made Movement, The Calibre ARM09
Armin Strom is the newest watch makers around who is proud to announce that they will be making their own movements. Funded by some big money gentlemen who want results, they wanted their brand to have in-house made movements, so they made it happen. Until now Armin Strom watches featured impressively decorated movements sourced from ETA, but that is all about to change. The ARM09 is proof of that. Usually when a watch maker releases their first in-house made movement it is fine. Nothing special, but it is still their own "baby."

The brand saw some serious growth under his tutelage, and throughout the 60s and 70s Squale was a respected leader in the dive watch world (in fact, a number of brands, from Doxa to

IWC Aquatimer 3290 vs Omega PO
Hi All,Actually I own a Explorer II - black dial but now I'm looking for a diver watch (non-rolex this time, and that's the reason why Submariner is out of options). At the moment I'm thinking about the brand new IWC Aquatimer 3290-01 vs the Omega Seamaster PO 600m.Of course, the Cartier Calibre Diver is starting to growing on me but I want to keep the options limited.Does anyone has the experiences with the New IWC Aquatimer? or does Omega PO will be hard to bit on this contest?What about Cartier Calibre Diver? it would be a good option and eliminated the PO?Thanks in advance for your advises,Rodrigo Quintero B

What in the world is this?
https://shop.burdeens/products/r..plete-set-2This seems to be a sub not found in nature. Is this just the dial and bezel from a smurf frakensteined onto a regular steel SubC?Or something else entirely?
