    Armida A2 vs. Steinhart Ocean

    What's the WUS braintrust think of these two pieces? Which would you pick? Assume that they both have the ETA movements.

    Thanks!

    He means that at the price point, they are the one to buy. (I'm assuming that's what he means ) With that said, the Steinhart O1B is a fantastic watch and I'd strongly recommend it. Keeps great time and is really a looker. Can't go wrong with them!

    Mine's en route from Hong Kong as we speak. Was shipped this morning, will be here by 1030AM tomorrow. Impressive for free shipping! Also got $100 off with the coupon code. Can't wait...really hope it is all I've come to expect.

    Which movement did you go with? ETA or Miyota? How do you find the accuracy, etc? Would love to hear a little mini-review if you have a moment. Thanks!
