The New Nomos Lux Weissgold Watch
Nomos has expanded their distinctive line of watches into two new upmarket model lines, the Lux and the Lambda. Available this November, the Lux and Lambda (discussed here) represent a new direction for the conservative Glash��tte?brand as they move into small batch production of gold watches that are powered by a new range of in-house movements.While we will cover the Lambda in an separate post, the Lux is arguably the outlier in Nomos' newly expanded lineup. Available in two 18k white gold versions - the Lux Weissgold (light blue and white dial) and the Lux Weissgold Hell (white dial), the range utilizes a tonneau-style case rendered in 18k white gold and measuring 40.5 x 36 mm. With wire lugs and a thickness of just 8.95 mm, the Lux should make for a very wearable design.The Lux range is powered by the DUW 2002, a new hand-wound calibre that is produced in-house by Nomos. The DUW 2002 features twin mainspring barrels that provide 84 hours of power reserve to the three hand movement w

AOPA Navitimer
Dear all,I was offered to buy the attached vintage Navitimer (see pics). Apparently the original owner was a pilot and it was quite heavily used. He dropped it resulting in a broken spring (?). Looking things up on the internet, I guess it is a 1965 AOPA Navitimer. I was wondering what you all thing about it. Does the watch appear legit and what would be a fair price if repaired?Thanks,Boris

The Watch Industry
As I measured the pulse of my patient utilizing a blue dial timex I observed on their wrist a Rolex. At that particular instant, I began to wonder why one would consider such an extravagant ornament which was, in hind site, approximately 500 times the labor in dollars as compared to my own. It immediately brought me to a short span of time at the end of my uncle's journey. He once said that a gentleman needs two things in the real world. He stated that you need a nice watch and a good pair of shoes. He was a hard nosed business man who owned a steel and textile manufacturing plant and for many years considered my family as one from the wrong side of the tracks. His daily time piece was a steel Oyster Perpetual Datejust Rolex with a blue dial. We had much to learn from one another and to this day I'm thankful to have known him as an adult. That, however, is another story. It was six months ago that I began to read about and compare and contrast the different types of complications and m

Looking to get back into panerai
So I'm finally looking to get back into a panerai after wearing nothing but rolex for a while. I previously had a 000 and ended up selling it as I didnt particularly love it and consequently didnt wear it much. My options at the moment are1) A use 3272) brand new 424 (no date)3) brand new 4254) used 243I personally much prefer the radiomir case shape as its closest to the old military panerais and sits flatter against my wrist, but I also really liked the 327 (surprisingly I found it more comfortable than the 000). My worry with the 327 and the radiomirs are that they only really look good on leather....so during summer it'd be difficult to wear them a lot as I am often in the water and I sweat a fair bit. I dont like the look of the submersible as much as the others but being auto and with date function it'd be more versatile. I've also tried on a 305 but found it pretty big and couldn't get a nice fit with the stock rubber strap...Which would you go for? Also what's everyone's experi

Possible (probable!) water ingress
Good afternoon all,I've just returned from swimming with the children, and notice that my Explorer is a little fogged up, on the inside unfortunately. Suspecting likely water ingress, my queries are do I need to do anything or just take it in for a pressure test/reseal, and is there a chance that this has caused some damage? It's 5 years old, never serviced, but about a year ago was opened up for a ��mini-service' to sort out a shakey rotor. Thanks folks!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
