Maranez Bangla
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.
