Introducing: The NOMOS Glash��tte Neomatik 'First Edition' Watches, With Automatic Caliber DUW 3001, Launching In Ten New Models
NOMOS Glashütte has been around since 1990, believe it or not – here at HODINKEE we find it hard to imagine that the company’s already a quarter century old, because they’ve managed to keep a sense of inventiveness in how they present themselves, and in their watches, that makes them seem perpetually fresh. None of this is an accident, of course – in fact, a big part of the reason that NOMOS has as much goodwill from the watch community as it has, stems from its obsessive concentration on getting all the details just right. We’ve all seen innumerable watches from innumerable brands that almost work, but that have that one niggling detail that, like a puncture in a balloon, lets all the air out of a design. NOMOS, on the other hand, manages to get all the details right again, and again, and again, with almost eerie consistency – and with an equally eerily consistent design language, which could easily start to seem repetitive or monotonous, but d

Breitling Transocean 38
Looking to buy one for my wife and seeing two models being sold that look the same but there is a 2000 difference. Breitling website has A4131012/BC06/171A listed and I also see it on the web and ebay listed for 8000 MSRP and selling price about 6000. But, I also see another model A4131012/BC06SS that is not listed on Breitling site but is selling MSRP for about 6000 and selling at about 4500.Any ideas on the difference or the reason for the difference in pricing? They seem to be exact based on description and pictures.

Moon watch - careful usage
Call me difficult, but I would like to point out the loose usage of this term by numerous sellers on TRF.May I respectfully request that this term be reserved for reference to the Omega Speedmaster Professional watches only? If it's an automatic you're talking about, it simply can't be a moon watch.Some purists might urge that this term reference only models like the 145.012 and 105.012. However, omega itself refers to both vintage and current Speedmaster Professional watches, ie 3570.50, as moon watches.My impression is that it helps prevent misunderstandings if we agree on the definition of terms. What do you think?

Servicing by independent watchmaker
Hello. I bought my first PP - a 5127 - a few months ago. Unfortunately it's about 5 years old and there's no way to determine whether it's been serviced.Hearing all the service time nightmares, I'm wondering about just letting an independent dealer on the internet service it. Anyone ever done that and come through the process ok? Anything to watch out for? Thanks!

Rare Nautilus - 5711J
A friend of mine has the 5711J. I tried it on recently and it was really nice, I especially like the classic white dial, gold case and brown leather strap combo. It's a great dressy sports watch imho. He might be willing to sell his so I am seriously thinking about it. Here's a pic I found.
