Hands-On: With The New Nomos Minimatic, With Ultra-Thin Self-Winding Caliber
NOMOS is making 36 mm watches in 2015. That's the blunt statement that this hands-on needs to start with. NOMOS is also fitting these watches with new calibers. So this is a two-for-one review of both the new NOMOS Minimatic and the new DUW 3001 within. Suffice it to say, this cool little German manufacture isn't done making waves. In fact, if anything, it's just getting started.We'll revisit aesthetics in a moment, but before we do, let's cover something important: the DUW 3001. In case you've missed it, NOMOS' new official name is NOMOS Glashütte Deutsche Uhrenwerke, hence the DUW. Proudly made in-house in Germany. It was just last year that NOMOS announced its in-house escapement, and rather than ride that achievement for a while, they decided to incorporate that system into an automatic movement for the first time (kind of) in a brand new caliber. They have actually decided to start this movement from scratch rather than use one of their older ones.

Breitling CROSSWIND review !!
Hi guys,Almost three days wearing this new Chronograph and here's what I think about it...I'll get straight down to the bare facts: Movement: Breitling 13 (Valjoux 7750 Chronograph/Chronometer)Power Reserve: minimum 42 hoursChronograph: 1/5th second, 30 minutes, 12 hoursVibrations/hr. & Jewels: 28,800 v.p.h., 25 jewelsCalendar: Dial apertureWater resistance: 100 m/330 ft.Bezel: Unidirectional, ratchetedCrown: Screw-locked, two gasketsCaseback: Screwed inCrystal: Cambered sapphire, glareproofed both sidesDiameter: 43 mmThickness: 15.5 mmWeight (only watch): 107.70 gramsInterhorn width: 22 mmBracelet: Pilot - SS all polished- Accuracy of the watch has been virtually spot on from day one.- Unlike the Rolex watches I have, time readability is sometimes a bit difficult in certain light. The STOPPED second hand can get confusing at times, but I've been strongly advised by a true expert NOT to keep the Chrono function running - just to use it when necessary.- the white dial and Roman num

Rolex Passion Report is now predicting ...
Red lettering and a red gmt hand as a replacement for the green on the otherwise black-bezeled gmt. Possibly with a new movement? It’s somewhat interesting given the reports from some that there is a shortage of Ln.Mods, I’m not sure if it’s worth consolidating Rpr or Basel reports into one thread. I think Rpr (Phillip, I think) has at least a moderately good track record in his predictions enough to mention his latest update. rolexpassionreport
