New Nomos Alert: Introducing The Metro 38 Datum, With An Updated Dial And Larger Case Size
Today, Nomos announces an addition to their line of crisp, contemporary Bauhaus-inspired watches: the Metro 38 Datum. The changes are subtle, but they make for a clear delineation between the original Metro and this new version. There's no longer a power reserve indicator on the dial, facilitating the shift of the Nomos insignia from 9 o'clock to 12. Additionally, the case diameter has increased just a bit, from 37 mm to 38.5 mm with a thickness of just 7.75 mm. A Cleaner Update To The Original Model 2 OF 3 The Nomos Metro with in-house Swing System escapement was first?introduced at Baselworld 2014. The removal of a slightly off-center power reserve indicator results in a dial that is cleaner than the original Nomos Metro (above) introduced last year. From an aesthetic perspective, the design is more harmonious with Nomos' time-only models, like the Tangente.Painted dots at 3, 9, and 12, which were once sea-foam green in color, are now rendered in

Day Date Dials
Along the same lines as my thread Serti Dials.Serti Dials?The more I surf and learn about the Day Date. The more I get nervous at all the variations. What is deemed "official" Rolex and what isn't? Now I've gone to many WTF links and blown up images. But even when I google search DD dials and see prime examples of it. Being the former graphic designing Scholar, I can't help but always key in on the 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock markers surrounding the Day window.Can DD owners and experts chime in? Why are these markers always inconsistent? Or do they simply fall into the 'Custom category' and straight edge alignment is not an issue?

new purchase?
hard times are being felt these days with cutting back on costs and lay offs from jobs.. with this in mind, are anyone still planning on buying new watches or just hold off the purchases since we may be facing tougher times ahead of us? i know that all our members come from different financial backgrounds so i was just curious does the financial crisis we are experiencing now affect our members here??...thanksken

How's your collection trending?
As the title says, how's your watch collection been trending the past 6 months or so?Mine's been trending down as I consolidate pieces to open up space & funds for one or two special pieces. After maxing out around 25-30 watches, I decided I didn't like having so many in the collection as most either weren't worn that much, or not at all. So I've consolidated them down to about 8-10 (not including cheap beaters or sentimental-only pieces) and plan to reduce that number 2, maybe 3 more. then add 1 or 2. My goal is to limit myself to 10 watches maximum, preferably 7 or 8 emphasizing quality, not quantity. Otherwise they just don't get worn enough to justify their staying in the fold. I've also moved from a 90%+ diver-style collection to mixing things up, and having several different styles in the fold, and looking at new styles that would complement my collection whenever I consider a new piece. I've been surprised to find I really enjoy spreading the collection around the dif

Chronograph modules
Started reading about the Tudor heritage chrono and was surprised it was dupraz module attached to a base ETA movement - got me interested and started looking around the web for more information. Anyway, just to share this link from ABTW. .ablogtowatch/inside-d...vement-module/As we know, AP ROOs have attached DD chrono modules as well, and I'm first in line if they ever come up with an integrated chrono movement (whether in the ROC or ROO line.) have a good weekend!
