It was about a 12 month wait. I went back and forth on designs as well - So many choices. Very happy with the final piece. Its in polished titanium case. Feather light on the wrist. SB-05
I have an SB05 - it was just completed so hope to get in a week or two. Armand is great. Agree its that choices can be overwhelming - I went through several ideas with multiple renderings of each.
At 1st I wanted some sort of polished titanium - since that is what Armand is known for. Then i thought I should get stone. But after 4-5 main variations and about 35 renderings I'm going all guilloche. Just debating on the patterns.
I tried on a hammered and a smooth version of the steel/grey dial last year @ Watchtime. I thought the smooth dial (non hammered) had better contrast with the grey dial. I ended up ordering the gold/titanium last November, it will be arriving in Dec.
