Introducing the Nomos Ahoi
Nomos has officially?announced?the launch of their newest model, the Ahoi, a sporty watch that gracefully and cleverly incorporates robust case design and 200 meter water resistance into their classic minimalist aesthetic. This marks a significant addition to the Nomos line, as the Ahoi includes many firsts and is sure to excite anyone who has been waiting for a more versatile, sporty offering from the brand.Built upon the Tangomat dial that we know and love, with a seconds sub dial?at 6 o’clock, the Ahoi case measures 40mm in diameter and 10.64mm tall, making it a larger watch for Nomos. The case further features something never found on a Nomos watch before, crown guards, and?because?of its 200 meter water resistance, the crown of the Ahoi is screw down. ?The crystal of the Ahoi is domed sapphire and on the rear of the watch you'll find a sapphire crystal case back revealing the Nomos caliber movement within. Available in two varieties, with or without a large date window at 6

Slotted countersunk hex heads bug the crap out of me
Just a minor rant; I love the 15202...a lot...but those stupid flush-mount slotted hex heads are the dumbest things in the world. Totally nonfunctional, even to the point of being nonsensical -- why slot a countersunk head that cannot be turned?Fully aware that the entire hobby of high-end watch collecting is intrinsically impractical, so I won't challenge the fact the screws are made out of white gold, but the sheer and utter uselessness of the slot design is akin to wiring a battery into the mainspring, a 2121 movement with no hands, or a date wheel labelled A through Z.Rant off...I'd really love this watch if it weren't for those (admittedly iconic) slotted hex heads. That don't do anything and can't serve any purpose.Flame away....

For years now, I��ve been reading U.K. shortages...
It never made sense to me. Rolex wants to sell watches. When China was on fire with sales, China had tons of watches for sale. Often the lowest price in the world when factoring in currency conversions to CHF. I've been reading for many years about constant short supply in U.K. Makes me wonder if this is a game all the dealers do in the U.K. to drive up hype and demand. I mean it would greatly be in Rolex's favor to sell as many watches as possible. I know the Brexit currency crash has had something to do with recent times but even when the pound was high, Rolex's at ADs was low. What is your theory/thoughts?

Rolex explorer 36mm crown winding
Hello, I just have a question for owners of the rolex explorer 114270 36mm.I just purchased one a couple of days ago, i noticed the crown winding was a noticeably rougher than my rolex hulk and 40mm rolex explorer II.I took it back to the dealer I purchased from to get it checked out and he said it was normal and winding is normalIs this normal for the 114270 for the winding to be less 'buttery'Kind regards, Cloitus
