              Wow, an 8.6mm thick automatic?  That sounds fantastic.  I love flat watches.  35.5mm wide seems a bit small, even with the large face to case ratio.  Great looking watch, though.  I'd really like to see the entire Nomos line up in person, since I suspect they're even more impressive than the pictures can convey.

                You are absolutely correct about being impressive in person. It might not wow the guy who bought a 47mm high polish Breitling just because some busty saleswoman told him to, but it will bring a smile to your face. Nomos cases are thin, elegant, strong, and hug the wrist well. Dials are clear, concise, and well finished. My watch is a joy to wind and keeps time to 4s a day. Hard to find a fault with this watch.

                    Thanks man, I have had her for about 5 years now. Never regretted it once!

                    Good eye on the Kapital. Great jacket with a very unique fabric and look.

                        Looks like Patek have got into the smartwatch game! 😉

                        OK, it's actually the new Patek 5370P, which will retail at around $249K. The "Email" is French for enamel. More over at Hodinkee.

                        Sticking with Pateks, there's a hands on with the Pilot's Watch at aBlogToWatch. They even posted a video on it.

                        Is it just more, or are other people annoyed by the super shallow depth of field they use? Yes, you've got a large sensor, but shooting with the lens wide open and not focusing properly isn't big or clever. 😉

                          That 'email' thing would bug me if I won the lottery and had the chance to buy that watch.  Otherwise, it is lovely.

                            isn't that the new spilt second chrono? and yeah the video isn't focused on it. it's kinda distracting.

                              No idea why someone thought it necessary to annotate what materials are used on a watch face.

                              The Minimatik has me conflicted. On the one hand there is a lot to like, but on the other the styling looks like that of a watch several price tiers beneath it.

                              Think it, be it.

                                The design of the watch case is very mediocre….

                                  Here's my latest acquisition, a Bulova 96A102:

                                  and a lume shot, because it's pretty impressive:

                                  Really enjoying the watch.  Would prefer if it were a bit smaller and mechanical, in keeping with its military style.

                                  I used to own a Seagull 1963 watch.  I still do own it, but the watch face fell off and I noticed too late to save the hands from being mangled.  A very beautiful (and cheap) watch, but evidently not very well built. Stock photos below, because I never thought to take pictures of my own:

                                    I like the two tone Lume on the Bulova, an interesting feature that I don't think I have seen before.

                                    There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                      The new Omega Ploprof also has two-tone lume, but the Bulova beat it. I've not seen it before either.

                                        I've seen it done on a few watches, but I think Ball Watches does it best, using a mix of tritium tubes to produce multicolor dials.

                                          I know that on the forum there are quite a few fans of Seiko Divers watches.

                                          Here is a good review of the Seiko GMT SUN023 divers watch.  Looks an interesting piece, the multi colour dial and bezel certainly makes it distinctive.  The colours remind me of an old Zenith Rainbow Flyback I owned.

                                          The 24 hour extra time travel hand should also prove a useful complication for those of you who regularly find yourself travelling.
