Introducing The Nomos Orion 1989, Celebrating The 25th Anniversary Of The Fall Of The Berlin Wall
The α (Alpha) wound NOMOS Orion became a classic the very first day it hit the market. We’ve covered it in-depth in A Week On The Wrist before, and we’re covering it again during what seems to be a season of makeovers for a couple of NOMOS families (recall the recent True Blue dial of the NOMOS Weltzeit just last month). Here, with the unveiling of the Orion 1989, NOMOS is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. 2 OF 3 The Orion 1989 with a 33 mm case. This stainless version of the Orion comes in two sizes – 33 mm by 8.54 mm and 38 mm by 8.86 mm. The dial is a galvanized “November” gray that has a very fine eggshell-like texture thanks to diamond polishing. The hands are the simple stick, but this time gold-plated – along with eleven gold-plated, stamped hour-indices.

It's On It's Way & I Couldn't Be Happier !
I've pulled the trigger on the new YG ROC Blue. I was able to source the watch in Europe as they seemed to have gotten the first deliveries. The watch being a new release is commanding high prices with discounts around the 15-20% in the US, not good enough for me. The EU AD happened to be losing its AP AD and offered me a 30% discount which includes the VAT refund plus payment by credit card so miles :). Should be on my wrist on Monday. Lots & lots of pics then. Here are some the AD sent me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Face off! Not just a great movie
So I'm thinking of picking up a new watch and the new chronomat 44 gmt is in the mix. Problem is that I love the blue dial and the black one. Does anybody know how much of a pain in the ass it would be to get the dial changed in the event I grew tired of a particular color? Could any watchmaker do it or would I need to send it back to B to get it done? Any guess on how much it would cost?Anybody actually do it?Thanks

Weight of SS Nautilus after wearing Rolex
Seriously considering a SS Nautilus, probably a 5712, and wondering if one of the things that is drawing me to add a Patek vs another Rolex, the light weight, will ultimately feel too light.The watch seems to have lots of presence, and the comfort is a plus, but will the clasp feel too small, etc. I'm probably over thinking this (as usual) but what are your thoughts? I know many of you go back and forth from PP to Rolex regularly.
