yeah that blue stuff on the crown was odd. more like wax than paint. but easy to remove.

I thought they were just protection stickers they put on crowns but the material was weird; waxy like you said. I had to scrape it off mine with my fingernail.

It has a Seagull movement and the fit and finish is OKish. The clasp has a lethal sharp edge. I will not wear it travelling as it may be confiscated at airport security.

Overall, not bad for £65 delivered from HK.

You might want to secure that bracelet pin between the second and third link or you'll end up with it on the floor in bits – although that wouldn't be too much of a tragedy :lol:

As an owner of the white face Rodina, I couldn't resist ordering the new blue faced version...

My white face, brown strap Rodina arrived yesterday, and have to say, very impressed with it so far. Closest I'll get to owning a Nomos for a while! Now I'm very tempted to get the blue face version as well!

I prefer the blue version myself. Anyone got any pictures of it?

Would look great with a nice tan leather strap...

I'll post pics when I get mine delivered (probably 10 days or so)

This is a pic from WUS
