    Black dial 2009 Milgauss arrives tomorrow:



    I decided against the blue dial because I felt the black has more versatility to dress up.

    Either way I'm pumped for this piece

    Dude that is sweet! I am pumped for you. I have the Z Blue fwiw. Kick ass watch.
    When I get a submariner I could see myself trading for the z-blue, just slowly building my collection up.

    Have you ever tried throwing it on a green or orange NATO strap? I'm intrigued how that would look with the lightning bolt
    Found a few examples for your Dial

    Nope I always leave mine on bracelet. That said. I did just order a brown leather strap affair for my Explorer II. If it turns out with a good look I will try to remember to post pictures.

    That's a good look. The green NATO is sharp.

    Great looking watch. If you ever have questions about your future collection, hit me up in PMs. I accept nudes as payment for advice.

    That's a nice looking watch...but I'm not down with the "lightning bolt" second hand. Seems to be trying to hard.

    Putting this here since horology is a mildly cultured thing, and the Tug is absolute Deep Anus AIDS.

    So, it had been several months since I did any watch trading or buying. Figured I was owed one and had my eye on NOMOS for a long time. Found a real bargain on one, which can be hard to do in the US (especially not gray market), so I grabbed it.

    NOMOS Zurich World Timer Midnight Blue, Ref. 807. It is not a true World Timer (good luck finding an in house movement true World Timer for between 5-6K). It's a GMT with a world wheel, but man can those Germans put out a sexy bauhaus watch. While Geneva still has far more high end manufacturers, what the Germs are doing in Glashutte is remarkable. Lange, Glashutte Original and NOMOS are a really powerful watchmaking trifecta. Wish I could afford a Lange, but since I can't, NOMOS it is.

    Anyway, if there are any other watch nerds in here have at it. If not, EMFA.


    I'm going to Monterey/Carmel for the next few days and there is a renowned high end watch shop that is an AD for Nomos and Zenith among others. Excited to see what the hype is about.

    You love em or you hate them, but they are a super hot watch in the world of high horology. Not expensive (relative) either.
