YEP! Nice proportions, interesting dial, BUT

Jun 16, 2021,13:39 PM
 

to me, the following is not pleasing my eye:

-the crown should be on the traditional 3 position. 
-for every 5 min an index please
-the writing on the barrel is not appropriate! Why not something phylosophical instead of a boring marketing sentence? 
-the one middle movement bridge has strange proportions and is somehow odd! Either it supposed to be longer or wider or different…

Hi all, What do you think of this new release from Armin Strom? To me it is an absolute home run: I have been waiting for Armin Strom to release a model with more classic proportions for a long time! And I like the simple yet interesting look of the watch...  

I liked it instantly, very much so, but

Disappointed ☹️

. I’m a huge AS fan, especially their resonance and GEF line. I was really looking forward to this release, but the watch left me cold. Not a fan of the cut-out of the dial (by the barrel). I’m not sure that I really care for 12 hours spent on a gold brid... 

I like everything about the watch

and the wording on the barrel does not bother me. The diameter and thickness are great and the finishing is exceedingly good for the price. The only drawback is I have been hunting for this watch in Asia and the UK and the watch is sold out.

IMHo too many contemporary independents look like GF and Journe. Is it all that they can design? I like it, though if you want it minimal, make it that way.

I really like the new Tribute 1 a lot as i also think the brand is doing great things the last few years

Looking forward to see it in person at some point and would love to see it with a Salmon dial at some point 🤗

I like the watch and think it is a good value.

I own the Armin Storm RG Resonance with a Kari Emanuel dial and love it, in fact I wore it today. It’s a little larger than this one but that does not bother me. I like the simplicity and do not mind the writing on the dial albeit a little GF like…Jim ...  

I really like it!!
