My First Grail Watch: Serge Michel Of Armin Strom
Welcome back to an original watches-dealer feature, "My First Grail Watch." In this series, we ask prominent people in the watch industry about the first timepiece that they lusted after. Today, we're speaking with Serge Michel, who is the owner of Armin Strom, an independent watch brand that we've featured on these pages quite a bit.watches-dealer (ABTW): Who are you, and what is your relationship to the watch industry?Serge Michel (SM): Serge Michel, Owner of the independent watch brand Armin Strom.ABTW: When did your fascination with watches start?SM: As a child, being one of the first Swatch-Club collectors. I asked my parents for my first watch at 6 and, by the age of 10, I owned about 12 models. I would wear a favorite for a few months and then be ready for a new one. Of course, the one with the transparent case back was my most favorite.ABTW: What was your first grail watch?SM: That's hard to say, as I've fancied so many watches over the years. Right now, it's the Jaeger-LeCoult

From Rolex to Breitling
After a bumpy ride flipping watchesRolex Datejust 16030Rolex Datejust 6605Omega Speedmaster Reduced Cart seriesRolex Datejust 116200Rolex Datejust 16014Rolex Explorer II 16570Rolex Datejust 16200First I bought a Seiko Arctura Chrono, I am going to South America this summer for about six weeks, didn't want to take any risks with a watch, It is surprisingly accurate, within 1 second a month.It was time for me to look for a compromise between rugged, GMT, Chrono and a little stylish.I decided to buy a Breitling Chronomat Longitude Chronometer A23048 in the completely brushed finish.The lume is like Radio-active, it glows like a torch.The bracelet is really comfortable though rather nasty to size when never handled before.The saphire is crazy, when seen from upfront it seems there's no saphire at all, just a dial.Everything on this watch feels firm and sturdy though it's a little high on the wrist.Now I am going to enjoy it, here's a little picture of it, next few days i'll make some sweet

Parts Needed
