Lovely watch - hope the new C9 Chrono is close to that depth of colour. Like many I have had an eye on a Nomos but never quite found something that stood out enough for me to buy. This is definitely in the 'buy it' category, the dial hands etc are all perfectly realised. But just can't quite feel the same way about the case - not sure I like the way the lugs join on to the main body, and that crown guard just looks odd. Not sure what the thinking behind that bit is. There's one on Chrono24 at the moment that has a clearer picture of the crown - see pic 3 on http://www.chrono24.com/en/nomos/zueric ... 2&tab=picsdowner wrote:Yes....that's the only detail that would prevent me buying it on-line, without seeing it..jmarchitect wrote:I like that side shot but the face-on image shows an unusual crown/case arrangement. Is there a little blip between the crown and case? A small detail on an otherwise lovely looking piece.
And as for Nomos' exchange rate - I fell foul of it this weekend too. Wish the site let you pay in Euro rather than take the nearly 1:1 exchange rate. I was buying a strap and 60 euros converted to £58 at checkout.
As for the blau gold Zurich, I have a suspicion it will look even better in reality, subject to reconciling the crown issue of course.
