Feeling bored and went through my watch collection and seems like i never bought a Brass watch before.
So i went online to search for a Brass Watch to make it my first purchase of 2014, chance upon Armida A8 & Maranez Bangla and did a comparasion between both and both material,movement & price point are the same so ultimately it goes down to design.
To me both are homage in some points, Arimda A8 has the shadow of Submariner & Maranez Bangla has the shadow of Ennebi.Hesitate for awhile and decided to get the bangla as the design for the A8 is quite common and the Bangla is huge and i love it.
After decided on the Bangla, another headache surface, which variant and material to choose from. But i got it sorted out in less than 10 mins as i do not own a brass watch before so the case choosen will be brass and i prefer my watch to have date so it boils down to only 1 design which is the brass, black numbered dial with date the final choice.
Proceed to order the watch online yesterday afternoon and receive notification a few hours later that it has been shipped out via Fedex priority. Keep loading the Fedex tracking page to wait for updates and this morning when i woke up, it's in singapore waiting for shipment release and after all clear by 11.21am i received the watch which i think is worth the USD50 for the fast shipping.
Apologies for the long story without photos...NPNT!! without further ado, photos of the unboxing begins....

So far so good for the past half an hour i'm wearing it, quite comfy and the lug does not really overhang my wrist.
Will observe for a few days for a better POV for this Bangla.
