It's only that I have had an experience in the past where a watch was -10 secs per day and I returned it. So I am being patient for a few days.

It is looking very accurate so far though. Less than +1 second per day. I will desticker it tomorrow after the last time test.

Alright!

Off with the stickers and on with the enjoyment.

I'm wearing my 116710 today and loving the all black and flecks of green!

Thanks all :)

It is indeed now de-stickered and being worn.

I took a few pics today, but they were not good enough as it has been a horrible dull day today. I will post one up when I manage to take one in good light :)

Beautiful watch though, and my Daytona has now been put away for a couple of months, so I can rotate the BLNR and Nomos daily.

Seems I can no longer edit the placeholder image in my original post.

Finally got pics of my BLNR






Takes on a different look in direct (above)/indirect light (below)

Thank you both, and just for you a couple more pics of my Nomos








The dial is not white, but is coated in silver, so it takes on a very different appearance in different light conditions.

Ooh, that's a stunner.. Have a Tangente 38 myself, classic but that Metro is a superstar. Good luck choosing whether to wear that or your BLNR each day!
