Congratulations Graham............................
On your Nomos.
And a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to the thread, as I found it very interesting to read and learn from.
Graham, the colour of the dial is certainly very vibrant and will no doubt make you think of the sun. Which is just as well with our weather!!
Although you may require a pair of sunglasses in the summer! LOL
glad you like it Topcat...
your thanks to everyone who contributed. i've learnt so much more than i knew
when i bought it. everything i have learnt has made me like it even
more.
thanks Ming. the colour is...
was fate working for me.
case #99/149 and i didnt go for it despite really wanting a bronze cased watch.
i regret it to this day, but the pricing was quite different.
apart from the 2 i'm waiting for. time to consolidate.
NOMOS fan here too!!
Hi Graham,
I'm pleased you like your new Nomos.
I have three and like them all - two Tangomats and one Orion. Four if you count the 'sun-dial' - have you seen this?
I also got my girlfriend a Wempe limited edition Tangente which has a nice day/night indicator.
I've found all mine to be very accurate.
I'm currently waiting to see the new Zurich.
There have been other posts about how 'in house' their movements are. I know the automatic was largely designed by Mirko Heyne, formerly of Lange & Heyne, who now works at Nomos. He also worked at Lange & Sohne for his apprenticeship I think.
Nomos also ,ake the movements for some of the Wempe watches, including their tourbillon.
On their website, which you must have a look (e-mail me of you need the link) at for the shots of the factory, their philosophy etc, they claim 95% is now made in house I think.
For some reason I would'nt have thought these were 'up your street' but am very happy to share such good taste with you.
All the best,
Vernon.
PS - hope you're fighting through the snow ok.
Vernon, owning 4 is just...
watches, but if i bought all that i liked i'd have hundreds (again). for me it
was the colour, the number and the movement that sold it to me.
have to go anywhere and i've been lucky in choosing the days i
shop.
no matter what the weather was like.

Hello Graham
Congrats on acquiring a really dashing Nomos No:99

thanks VP, you must post...
although you probably have already, but my memory is not what it
was.
JUMPING SECONDS RICHARD HABRING
With pleasure- Richard Habring has modified the Valjoux 7750 movement thus enabling the
seconds hand to jump every second.
We both share the same fascination for the number 9.
thanks for that VP. i...
love the jump second function although i prefer Daos's model to the regulateur.
dont know why.
thanks Michael. i love the...
say 'colours'.
;-) . . .
. . . just the thought of Graham saying "no más" to a watch brings a chuckle . . .
nice NOMOS watch...
hi Graham, i am also aware of this brand some time back simply because of its simplicity and clean dial. very recent, i found there is another nice looking model that is with a small circle window of PR indicator under the 12 o'clock position.
thanks for sharing, very nice watch with special dial's color.

thanks Stefan. a bit different...
Omega, but very distinctive.
very distinctive...
you are right, Graham. i think the word of "distinctive" can better describe and differentiate it from other brands.
stefan
You won't loose this in the snow...!!
Great looking piece Graham....the dial really 'pops' but at the same time has warmth to it. Are you a fan of the Bauhaus style..??
So is this the last piece to arrive or was there another new piece on it's way..??
Congrats on this piece and enjoy it my friend.
Yours,
Andy.
PS - this was my 800th post...saved it for you 
thanks Andy and congrats on...
on my way to 5000 which is a bit over the top for 2 1/2 years.
the in house calibre, dial colour and ltd ed number that swung it.
thats it.
not ready and i havent paid for it so that doesnt count.
of all my 1964 pieces which should be interesting for those with nothing better
to do :)
thanks Davo, although it doesnt...
it has no bezel to speak of it looks bigger than it is. the case is 35mm
and the dial is about 32mm. very deceptive.
A man after my own heart
Enjoy. I love the color. I wouldn't bother with the display back, but that is me.
G
thanks Ginger. i'm undecided...
bother to answer my email and can do the ltd ed text on it i'll probably have
one as the movement is nice to look at.
Very nice acquisition Graham!
I'm most impressed about the fact that Nomos have shell cordovan leather straps standard. I simply find that amazing! Once word leaks out about how great these straps are, there's going to be a whole new wave of Panerai strap lovers looking for shell cordovan straps.
I like it Graham! Congrats!
thanks Patrick. even after 4...
as new. we must keep it secret from the Panerai boys as there's not enough
leather on the A*** of a texan horse to make one Radiomir strap :)
pens came from, i'm left handed and have awful handwriting. it used to be a
benefit when i was working. if a defence solicitor couldnt read what was in my
pocket notebook they couldnt contest it :) however, i did have one ocassion
where i couldnt read what i'd written either.
Now that has to be the ultimate act of self-defense! You should've been . . .
. . . a lawyer ;-) . . .
Super, Graham......
How do you handle a search for number 99 on limited editions....all of us would like to know!
thanks Laurens, the #99...
read the details and couldnt believe my luck.
alloy case #99 i saw last year as i really like the idea of a case that matures
and patinates with age
Like it a lot. And thanks to Tee539 and Stromer...
...for the information.
An adjusted movement that doesn't advertise it?
A Peseux converted to 3/4 plate?
A 35mm case?
I definitely have to look further into NOMOS.
