Who's got a nice watch? Traditional watches only, no smartwatches please.

Nomos watches look a bit weird on the wrist because most of their models have long thin lugs. That's why i have the 35mm Tangente, although i usually wear 38-40mm watches.

Try the Orion. It feels better on the wrist, you might like it.
Also, check these out http://www.junghans.de/en/junghans-collection/watches/maxbill/detail.html. They have a similar design.

Before the Jazzmaster I tried the max bill, my idea was the max bill black date only but it's also a bit weird on the wrist, I think due to the plastic "glass" and curved back, unfortunately because it's very nice, the dial has a wonderful reflection and I love the font!

I wanted also the Hamilton Intramatic http://www.hamiltonwatch.com/collection/american-classic/timeless-classic/intra-matic-auto/h38755731 but it looks same as the small Nomos, a bit flat, and the 42 is big and 38 small, ahah no way!

Another very nice watch on my wrist is the Speedmaster (much money for me ) and the Hamilton Railroad Skeleton http://www.hamiltonwatch.com/collec...ican-classic/railroad-skeleton-auto/h40655731 but it lacks the date and is a bit big

in the future I hope to afford a Nomos Zurich date black...perfect on my wrist (is s 40mm)...

A friend offered me this a few weeks ago-he seemingly knew I'd get excited over it where a lot of folks would probably pass it by.

This is a private label Waltham 1883 model grade 35/AT&Co(I never identified any finishing difference between the two). It is double signed for a jeweler in Massachusetts, has a frosted damasceen pattern, and is non-magnetic. Needless to say, I was all over it!

This is my daily wear. had it a few years now, still in great condition. Want to pick up an Omega or two though in the next few years, big fan of them.

Oh, well wear! That is a gorgeous time piece.

When did you get it? Looking at the picture, I'd imagine a watch from the 50s, or maybe, even the 40s. Anyway, it is an absolute beauty.

Actually it is from 2009. It is an IWC Portuguese 3714

Thanks for replying; even if it is 2009, it is still an absolutely gorgeous timepiece. Elegant and classical in appearance - the sort of watch that I really love.

What size is it?

41mm

Just a simple 44mm 17 jewel winder made by Parnis. Keeps excellent time for a non quartz watch.

@Mr. McMac

Nice watch, minimalistic and elegant.

that parnis looks very IWCish. any relation?

Parnis makes "homage" watches. They mostly rip their designs from Panerai, IWC, and of course, Rolex. Just check their website.

Edit: They're based in China. Not a coincidence.

Thanks to the Apple watch, I rarely wear this anymore.

Hmm is this a genuine IWC 3714?

What? You would willingly forego wearing one of the most impressive and genuinely legendary (and quite beautiful) - and timeless - ageless - time pieces ever made - for an overpriced fashionable toy that will be out of date in a year or two?

Me, well, suffice to say that this is not the choice I would have made in such circumstances. Then, again, mind you, I would not be in the market for an Apple watch in the first place.

Sacrilege!

My thoughts exactly.

Looks authentic to me, what is making you think that it might be otherwise?

Yes, I would be interested in learning more about this, too.
