New Nomos Alert: Introducing The Metro 38 Datum, With An Updated Dial And Larger Case Size
Today, Nomos announces an addition to their line of crisp, contemporary Bauhaus-inspired watches: the Metro 38 Datum. The changes are subtle, but they make for a clear delineation between the original Metro and this new version. There's no longer a power reserve indicator on the dial, facilitating the shift of the Nomos insignia from 9 o'clock to 12. Additionally, the case diameter has increased just a bit, from 37 mm to 38.5 mm with a thickness of just 7.75 mm. A Cleaner Update To The Original Model 2 OF 3 The Nomos Metro with in-house Swing System escapement was first?introduced at Baselworld 2014. The removal of a slightly off-center power reserve indicator results in a dial that is cleaner than the original Nomos Metro (above) introduced last year. From an aesthetic perspective, the design is more harmonious with Nomos' time-only models, like the Tangente.Painted dots at 3, 9, and 12, which were once sea-foam green in color, are now rendered in

Nautilus 5711, 5712 or AP 15202 ST, 15400ST, or 15300 ST
Hi All,I posted a similar question on the PP forum and most recommend the Nautilus for my collection but thought I would throw it out here on the AP forum as well to get a different perspective. My current collection is below. I am considering flipping the PAM and adding another watch to the collection. After getting my Patrimony and PP Annual Calendar, the PAM is just too big and bulky. I have decided to add another SS watch on a bracelet to give me another alternative to the GMT II during the hot summer months and something that can go casual or with a suit. I also think a blue dial would fit well with my collection so am considering either the Nautilus or Royal Oak. Given my current collection, which do you guys think would be a better fit, Nautilus or RO? Factors I am considering are also availability, price, resale value, service cost, etc. For those recommending the RO, can you tell me why you would recommend one over the other? Thanks for your input.

Any Swedish House Mafia/Steve Angello fans?
If you're a watch enthusiast as well as a fan of one of the premier artists in the Electronic Dance Music scene, you'd probably know that Steve Angello is a HUGE fan of AP. (usually has on the 'Survivor')Mention of AP watches have been in some songs and if you watch any part of their documentary Take One or his YouTube channel (Size TV) you can see that Steve and his crew at Size records are fans of the brand as well.I always wondered what his favorites were and the man was nice enough to answer my queries. (While on vacation in Bora Bora no less)As you may know I'm a huge fan of my Ginza 7 Forged Carbon, I was pretty excited to see that he was also part of the Ginza 7 fraternity, although in precious metal form!

Change, improvement or just a different look 2016 Explorer
So I owned an Explorer 39mm in 2016 when the 2016 revision was released at Basel that year. I liked it when it came out but at the time liked the one I had and didn't think there was enough difference between the two to do anything costly and drastic about it.Fast forward two years. After seeing the 2016 version at AD's the last couple of years I really do think the changes to the hands and 3,6,9 took it back to its roots so to speak and are solid improvements. I decided this week to let my current one go in favor of one so I have a slightly used 2017 model on the way. I just couldn't see having a version of a watch I liked when I could have one that truly sang to me.I'm just curious of forum members who had the 2010 Explorer 39mm and liked it but decided to part with it for the 2016 version because it just came together so well and you saw it as an improvement not simply a change or different look.

Should ADs have one of every model on display?
Don't know about everyone else - but I am tired of walking in ADs all around the world (especially UK & Europe) to find they have literally zero models that I would be interested in. Normally racks on racks of diamond DJ & DD - then if you want a SS model, you have to get to the back of the line , make a commitment (financial or AD relationship) and hope that you like the watch when it turns up 12 months later... So here is the question - should the AD have ��display only' models available for us to try on in store , so we can get a good impression of the watch before placing an order?? I have some ��high end' sports cars which often have 1-2 year waiting lists on them - but at least I can go sit in them in the dealership (if not actually get to drive) before i placed the order! Interesting to hear people's thoughts ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
