Very nice Dave. I love the Metro. Did that come from SC by any chance?
Big fan of the metro too - quirky and different which is good if you're not a huge fan of the standard Nomos look. Congrats with both - interesting date complication on the other Nomos too. What sold you on Nomos?
No, not from SC. I like to buy new where possible.Quote:

No but thanks for the suggestion. They are a little more expensive but will keep my eye on them 👍Quote:

What a lovely dial [emoji106]
Very nice :thumbsup:
I've had a few Nomos, mainly Clubs in different guises, but not for a long time.
However, while idly browsing the pre-owned section of an online store I was led to via a thread on here (isn't that how it always happens?), I was struck by this one

Only 12 months old, mint condition and a new brown cordovan strap, so I couldn't resist. I needed some contrast to all the divers, military and sports watches in the box :smile-new:
Wow. I really, really like that third one.Quote:

Thinking of trading mine in for one of the more colourful versions now though, I was using it as a dress watch but haven't worn a suit since lockdown.
Absolutely beautiful. i really want a Nomos
Love Nomos but on the ones I've tried the lugs usually make it wear too big for my wirst.
The Orions are shorter lugs than a lot of the others I think. I agree that the lug to lug can be quite large, but then they make a bunch of different sizes for a reason. I think a lot of people write off the smaller sizes even though they wear a lot bigger than you'd think.Quote:

There's hardly any gap between case and strap, whereas on the Club you could drive a bus through.

I'm still not sure about it though it wears quite large for a 38.5mm :concern:
It does wear large still, but it's so thin which I think compensates.Quote:
