So it's not the old miner's hospital in Barnsley then?

Don't think I want one now.

Out of all the previews I think I would go for the C90 then the GMT (looks a lot better with the cleaner dial) and then a C9 auto. will leave the chrono and divers alone I think. Although that may change on the first forum gallery posting. Expensive time ahead.

...ot it could be that archbishop guy who the soldiers took a dislike to in Canterbury a while back.

Not sure I'd get the watch theme there, though.

Well, you could say someone should have told him to "watch" out!

I'll get my coat.

Absolutely! Paw3001 posted amazing pics of his new Nomos a couple of days ago and I'm continually going back to look at them. I even had a look on my iPhone while I was waiting for my wife this evening. The look she gave me when she got in the car made it clear that Parcel Force better not be turning up at our house for a while.

Only one gripe for me about the c9 why o why isn't it a brushed finish would set the face off perfectly

The Chrono and Automatic look the best of the bunch, but the size of these will [edit] probably [end edit] be a killer for me.

I agree. Has it been confirmed that it will be 43mm? I know that was what was originally planned.

I do have a 43mm watch with a thin bezel that gets occasional wear, so maybe it's not an absolute killer.
Another one to wait and see...

I was hoping to see a panda face version, shame, the chrono on a brown leather strap is looking good though but glad the "Swimmer" was drowned at birth! :shock:

The idea of the swimmer seemed sound, but it just looked like something from biology class.
