Yes pal they are great in my opinion I have one.the story is I sold it to raise cash for other watches and as soon as I posted it I regretted it and wanted another.about six months down the line I came back up for sale and I just had to have it back so I did thanks to Reggie747 on this forum its a keeper I like the styling of the case and its a nice deep blue the quality is excellent for the price you can't go wrong
Have never owned a gold watch before but good choices Aifo...for me it would have to be something truely quirky that would come out once in a blue moon,
This Ernest Borel Kaleidoscope (with mesmeric moving inner dial and mystery hands) would add something unique to the collection (and I know where to find two just like it)
I have been dreaming about the Nomos Atlantik datum:
Until I tried one on this morning. It didn't fit my wrist at all - with a flat bottomed case and the long lugs it looked ridiculous and felt even worse. Oh, and the strap was a minger. Definitely off the list.

Your advice is good advice. The Club case is a winner - and probably the only Nomos I'd want to wear.

Shame that AP seems to be the go to watch for the "more sense than money" celebrities and such.
Someone I work with has one of the early models - from the mid seventies, 39mm case, slim, a fantastic looking watch, a world apart from the RO Offshore bling versions.
Devalues my perception of the brand. They make some beautiful looking watches but the diamond encrusted horrors that people like Floyd "money" Mayweather and the like wear are horrible. I don't have to like everything a brand makes but just seems a shame to be that such a brand with all the expertise make the aforementioned monstrosities.

Ah okay but I read it to mean celebrities like Stephen Fry, Prof Brian Cox and Brian May.
