Getting to Know Nomos: 6 Important Nomos Watches
Nomos watches are well-known in their native Germany, but not nearly as familiar to watch lovers in the U.S. as other Glash��tte-based watch brands such as A. Lange & S?hne and Glash��tte Original. Nomos watches, in fact, have their own distinctive look (the brand has won several international design awards) and are fairly reasonably priced despite the fact that they all have in-house movements made in the traditional Glash��tte style. As the brand becomes more prominent in the U.S., we offer six Nomos watches that you should become familiar with.Nomos introduced its first diver-style watch, the Ahoi, in 2013. The Ahoi Atlantik Datum, launched the following year, carries the theme further with its lacquered “Atlantic blue” dial. The Ahoi Atlantik Datum contains the self-winding Nomos Zeta caliber, which powers the time, small seconds, and date display (“datum”). The watch’s case is 40 mm in diameter and features a sapphire exhibition caseback, fitted with

Jacob & Co. Lord Of The Bling Dances His Way Into Jail; No, Not For Selling Fugly Watches
Tragedy ensues in many communities as watch maker and jeweler Jacob & Co. founder Jacob Arabov will be sent to prison for 30 months. The crime was essentially laundering drug money and lying to law enforcement while providing false documents. Arabov's organized crime client "The Black Mafia Family" (this is what they are called and I am not sure if it is a literal statement, but I feel bad for their lack of creativity if it is) seemed to entrust "Jacob the Jeweler" with lots of drug money. Naturally, you'd give illicit money to the jeweler to entrust right? He'll just put your money into high yield precious gems. Arabov did anyone would do, defer to a big client when 100s of millions of dollars are at stake. I honestly feel bad for the guy, stuck between a rock (diamond) and a hard place (more diamonds). He probably felt like he didn't have much of a choice.It is no secret that bling happy hip hop stars often lack what I personally would describe as good taste. A few years ago, the

New ROO to the collection
Have had an ROO RC for several years now. But when I got that ROO the blue/orange ROC was something I had been lusting after at the same time. Then a few years later, the blue/orange ROO was launched and my jaw dropped. I had to have it! Well, the time finally came when Len posted his for sale last week and we came to a happy place to strike a deal. Len (aka gogator1) was excellent to conduct a deal with and the watch was exactly as described, even better than the photos he sent me. He really tried to capture any little flaw (maybe 1-2 total) in the perfect light so there were no surprises. Excellent communication and I finally have my color fix! Quick photo, wrist shots later. Wearing my BLNR today. :-)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Trading a 116500LN for a DSSD..
I’ve had my 116500LN for a little over a year and was watch I coveted since a teenager. In the year I’ve owned and worn the Daytona, I’ve begun to wonder if the size is too small and possibly a DSSD would be a worthy trade. I initially disliked the DSSD in pictures; however, I tried one on my AD last week and really liked it. I am wondering if this is a silly move and if the DeepSea would be a silly trade for this watch. Opinions from the group would be appreciated.
