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." Armin Strom on the other hand has given us something very pretty, with impressive specs to make.One thing I can't get out of my mind. The design on the movement has an uncanny resemblance to another watch I know. Compare the Armin Strom calibre ARM09 with the MB&F HM3 (specially the Sidewinder). I don't even need to explain, you'll see how similar they are. ARM09 stands for "Armin?? Reserve Marche 2009." This should make sense. For those who don't know, Re

My PO at school!
I just thought I'd share some pics of my PO at school. its the IUPUI campus in downtown Indianapolis, where I attend the IU Kelley School of Business. The pictures of the elevated train are of the Monorail that I take to school, thus avoiding the parking nightmare. Interestingly the train cars, like my watch, are Swiss made!

Opinions on the 537 or 535
I was at the AD this weekend and the 537 really caught my eye. It's a bit smaller (42mm) but being a Luminor it felt perfect size-wise since I usually wear a Radiomir. I looked online though the various forums and sites and didn't see much of a following behind this model or that many listed for sale. I have a line on a decent price for a used one and right now I'm deciding between this or an OMEGA DSOTM. Anyone have any experience or thoughts on the 537?
