Thank you
I am glad you understand. My wife had a chuckle when I use the word “journey” in this context but only we will truly understand the watch collecting journey!
I think Armin Strom will continue to have two segments in their product line up- the entry level at low 5 figure euros and their top segment at the mid to high 5 figure mark. They have developed their System 78 movements to cater for their entry models and seem very committed to ensuring that they have an affordable line. However, I do get what you mean. The RRP of Skeleton Pure in non precious metal was a little under 30000 euros (excluding taxes??). The horological content here is superb and punches above its weight. This segment is now no longer in the Armin Strom catalogue. And I do think it is in this segment that the most value for money was had.
Alas, I a very bad photographer. My wife is usually the one taking family photos! And my equipment consists of only the iPhone! Will try to get some macros at some point.
BW,

I agree- a smaller case would not have given the superb movement justice. And yes, as many of us here often do, we look at our watches for time and end up just staring at them! 😆 it was a bit of a driving hazard yesterday, especially in the sun! BW, Chi K...

Yes, this was a long post! Thank you for taking the time to read it and I am glad that some parts resonant with you! Like you, when I wear a watch, it feels great. That Roamer is very nice looking. Thank you for showing it. Can you tell us more? And do yo...
