Absolutely!

A surprise arrival
I got my first mechanical watch when I was 26 and that started me on the wonderful rabbit hole of this hobby. After some 15 years of collecting and learning, I have realised that I like two things in watches the most: 1) interesting complications such as ...
congratulations! 👏 Armin Strom has some amazing watches
enjoy it and wear it in good health! The Orange is really cool 🧡

Thank you!

Absolutely!
