I have this on the way!!!!! (I figured this was ok to post here....considering what forum we are on....delete this if I am wrong!!)
It was a small run, but it sold out in 2 days (2 movement choices, I went with the ETA 2824, but there was also a NH35) Next run is in 3 months probably (considering it sold out in 2 days, that dynamic might change) :)

Nice! Take a few deep breaths before sizing that bracelet.
Ha! I'll set up saran wrap boundary walls to catch the flying collars off the pins.
When will Seiko start using screws like the rest of Horology in this world.

They were $350 for NH35 and $650 for ETA (but there was a Christmas promo that brought my ETA down to 492.15) :) Will post pics when it gets here (for some reason they took it off the website...maybe they feared copyright stuff) @xj4sonx

They took down the listing (I have no clue why) But mine shipped and will be here tomorrow. It was just on the Armida page (at the bottom). I only knew about it, because of a thread I was reading on WUS. BUT, someone talked to the owner, and they are seriously entertaining adding a blue dial and bracelet version with the next run. Considering the success of these models, they are going to produce more for sure :)

I am not a die hard 62MAS person. If for some reason I don't get along with it, I will send you a message. Here is their Instagram (it's got a ton of pics of all models but they sent a teaser there first)

Here is their website, I got curious and searched it last night and spent a good hour on it looking at everything. Added something to the basket, through in the "CHRISTMAS" 15% off coupon code and never checked out. I may be back to check out later, I need to liquid encouragement lol.

Oh, and I doubt they are worried about any copy rights, as they are a microbrand based out of HK.

Almost forgot, they are using Strap Code MILTAT SS bracelets with their brand engraved/etched on the diver clasp.

They had to remove it from the website (the Armida A12) because they were flooded with emails/questions/requests.

Good news. I just spoke with them, and here is what they said: :)
Yes we will do blue in the next batch and are working on a bracelet.
Let me know how you like it when you get it.

Not to enable any more Seiko reps but......I also have a Merkur Tuna and MM300 on the way (they are on ebay, the MM300 is stalled for now until they get stock. Supposedly middle of December) There is a ton of information on WUS about them. The MM300 has taken forever, but I ordered a Tuna and it should arrive soon (about a 30 day wait from order) They also have a new 6105/turtle coming out that is supposed to be better than their current one. Pics are not mine, credit goes out to the original photographers!!! (I will post many pics when I get mine!!) As you can imagine, there is a ton of controversy over them on WUS (because they are like reps). But if you can get over that, the quality is supposed to be good.
