Icon10 Light up the Bat Signal - Batman incoming

I already own a Daytona, which is my daily wear watch, and my favourite. For the last month though, my new Nomos has been my daily.

Placeholder image of BLNR until I get around to photographing mine :) I'm leaving it stickered for 3 days whilst I time it, just to be sure it's ok.









Amazing experience as I'd only joined the wait list for the BLNR one week prior! I can't believe I got so lucky (there is a long wait list for BLNR here in UK) :) And the experience at the jeweller was exceptional. A couple of lovely keepsake personalised gifts to present to my children too. Very pleased with everything :)

I like your thinking. You can't show us a picture with the stickers on because it is blasphemy. Congrats.

LOL, that's true. I want the photo to be the best I can manage

It's funny that I've gone from thinking Rolex was "just a flash brand" three years ago, to buying two and wanting a third one. The difference is I understand and appreciate their movements, build and workmanship now.

Pics will follow after I finish testing (timing) it for a couple more days. Being cautious has paid off for me in the past, with a watch. So I will be patient.
