BaselWorld 2013: The New Nomos Series 38 Watches
Case size is crucial in watch design as it affects not only comfort, but also proportion and the everyday practicality of the piece. With that in mind, it is remarkable what a difference a few millimeters can make when up-sizing a smaller model to suit a larger wrist. With the new Series 38, Nomos Glashutte has breathed new life into their Orion, Tangente and Ludwig models, while also introducing a 38mm version of the Orion with a grey dial. While likely still considered small by many tastes, the Series 38 is an exciting update that I was eager to see in person as Nomos exhibits a style and design philosophy that has always spoken to my tastes and a slightly larger version of the lovely Orion is definitely worth a closer look.The 38 Series is comprised of four new models, three of which are essentially up-sized versions of their 35mm older siblings. The totally new model is the Orion 38 Grau and it is a design that is instantly recognizable as a Nomos, but varied in its use of a nicely

Rolex SkyD or AP ROC 26331?
I posted this in the Rolex forum, but wanted to get input from the AP forum as well.I've been on the list for 8 months at my AD for the SS Skydweller in the blue dial. #2 on the list from day one. Talked to the AD yesterday. They haven't even received the first one. No idea how long before I get mine.I'm getting impatient. It's not like I'm trying to order a Porsche GT car or a Ferrari 488 right? I know I know. Some folks are on waiting lists that span multiple years for Daytona C's and certain PP Nautilus models. Just not my thing though. I was sold on the Rolex ,but I got to try on the SS ROC in the blue dial. It's an amazing piece. Now I'm starting to think I should just forget about the SkyD and add the ROC to my collection instead? What do you think?

Is it safe to wash my AP?
So I want to give my newly acquired APRO a wash under the tap with a small brush and liquid soap. I do this routine regularly with my Rolex's without any worries and they come out looking new and I want to include the AP in the bathing routine But I haven't seen any is it safe to wash/pool/beach/ threads for AP (with good reason, since they're expensive) so thought I'd ask since it's better to be safe than sorry. I know it has screw down crown so I'm guessing it's fine but I just want some reassurance from you guys.No plans to go to the beach with it though! The Hulk is on beach duty.ThanksM.

What is your summer Rolex
What do you wear with shorts and tank tops? Something other than SS?? Rubber, Nato, or leather?
