Interesting quesation
that I never asked myself up to now.
NOMOS claims that they chose the name from the greek word "nomos" which translates appoximately to "law" or "order".
The plural of this word is "nomoi".
Gosh, what beautiful problems we have!
Best,
Martin

Girl friend, Pets, colleague, I would even go as far as neighbour ...

See these recent WristScan posts: Picture 1 ... Picture 2 ... So, instead, I will give you one last shot from Hong Kong of the 5513 overlooking the Happy Valley Racecourse. Don't worry, my ‘better half’ is never far away … ... someone has to keep an eye o...

The Other half
Hi All - Again! Well the other half - or rather, I should say my other wrist has had the Master Moon on all week JLC MM So with with Bellmatic on the other wrist I've had both age and beauty. Cheers JML...
this week i have a new aquisition which i like a lot
this new aquisition is an Enicar Sherpa Super-Dive super compressor from 1964. i've only worn it for 2 days, but it is very very nice. its the full size 40mm case and with the bracelet it suits my wrist perfectly. its also remarkably accurate. i've tried ...
i have no partner :((, but here's a pic of my mates watch
for full details check on the omega forum...
Graham, i like your 46 years old diver...
... very nice catch, it looks great to me, as you said, it can match very well with both bracelet and strap. have a great weeked ahead, my friend. stefan
thanks Stefan. i didnt think i would be able to get a SC from the correct year
in the end i found an excellent one. best Graham
well, lot of unexpected thing always happening to us!
... by the way, it is really nice piece. stefan
Yes, Graham!
Another nice one in the " '64 stable "! You will never cease to amaze me. Enjoy, my friend. All the best. Nicolas
thanks my friend, but remember i gave you 1st option on this one :)
its just a good job that it was for sale in a place you dont frequent or i might have gone to join its friends in the super compressor stable. best graham
Well, Graham... I was on too many things at the same time.
And I lost some fatal concentration. I'm happy, really very happy that you got this one. Best, my dear friend. Nicolas
Great pickup
Big fan of Enicars, great history, inhouse movements, great styling. It's interesting to note that in the 1958 Experimental diving report, that alongside the Blancpain and Rolex, Enicar was also tested. So it was seen as a serious tool watch back then. Re...
thanks Ubik. i think Enicar are a very underrated brand
they have a lot of history in the diving world with the bonus of in house movements. and yes, it is an original Enicar bracelet although i'm not sure it was made for this watch. best Graham
A collectors watch
I've been keeping an eye on them for several years now and I can say that by the prices they realise the collectors in the know value them.
i'm hoping that most of...
i'm hoping that most of my 1964 theme are collectors watches. speedies, sm300's, connies, UG polerouter single crown super compressor, Benrus military pilots, even a gold cased Smiths Everest(classic british engineering). i plan very soon to do another up...
Congratulations Graham
I am destined not to find a '64 that tells the time, so I am pleased that one of us has! Nice diver. Andrew
thanks Andrew, i'm sure you'll find one eventually.
a lot of it is having time to search and luck, a lot of luck. best Graham
Hmm... My better half is in Singapore....
So let me just show you what's on my wrist.... Can't get this beauty of my wrist.. Can't stop starring at it.... Have a great weekend! Sam...
Lovely JLC Duometre, Eddy.....................
I saw both the R/G as well as the Platinum this week while I was at an evening event, being held by my AD. And I have to say, that I very much prefer the R/G over the Platinum, fot it's much better contrast of colours.
Thanks Stefan,
an innovative chrono but I am also trying to get iconique JLC like yours : ) HAGWE, Eddy
i can say it is full of pleasure i got :-)
thanks and have a great weekend, Ginger. stefan
Nico, i appreciate....
... you are one of very few friends here who can understand me yes, indeed it is marvel because this was my very first Memovox. i still remember after consulting you and Blomman, i bought it next day, then my Memovox collection has started growing from th...
many thanks, Andrew...
... this time, this was just casually taken in office today, the effect is turned out quite nice. sometimes, i purposely intend to take a so-called great pic, but unfortunately the quality was very bad. this is the one i like so far. thanks, Andrew. stefa...
Joined the supercompressor club - with a model that will doubly please Nicolas...
An uncommon Lip Nautic supercompressor - 36mm handwind from approximately 1966. Perfect size for my wrist. 2nd and 3rd photos credited to Tony C. and used by permission. Ginger...
A very nice " French Touch, Ginger.
I have these Lip in my mind, too, nut most often I find electric versions... Superb catch! Best, Nicolas.

civic heraldry website. Similar picture on Wikipedia....
very very nice Ginger. an uncommon brand and at 36mm perfect for your wrist
i've seen a lot of Lip divers, but as Nicolas has found they are all electronic so a handwind is that bit more special. enjoy it Graham
never seen this supercompressor before...
... very nice condition, the logo engraved one the caseback looks so cool. stefan
I feel kind of Silly this Friday
So it has to be one of these Silbersteins Lume shot of the Smileday and his pals As requested, better half modeling for the camera at exactly top of the minute!...
i never expected the lume to be that good on the Silbersteins
for some reason i thought that as they are designed with humour the essentials like lume would take a back seat. any of them are perfect for the silly season Graham
Mrs. CaliforniaJed never
...takes off her Daytona! Though the 57th Street tempted her! (More on that one day soon.) HAGWE! CaliforniaJed This message has been edited by CaliforniaJed on 2010-11-18 20:27:02 This message has been edited by CaliforniaJed on 2010-11-18 20:28:20...
I love the Daytona on a lady's wrist.
I saw many in Italy this summer, and found that it was realy beautiful to see this Chrono on a lady's wrist. It was something like " a cool insouciance ", really reallly cool. Best, Mon Cher Confrère. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 201...
She's a cool girl, Counselor.
And I know exactly what you mean about "cool insouciance". She does not "revere" the watch, or any that she wears. She appreciates it, but she simply "wears" it, as she does any watch or jewelry. Its beauty is but a sparkle. Hers is the real deal! Best, C...

G One of many old pieces found in his safe... Julian...
Thanks. I posted on the Home forum and got a few responses
It is known as a Lordmatic.(seiko ref 5606) Auto day date from the 1970's Very wearable. Other pieces in the safe were Oris, Lanco and a few brands I had never heard of Julian

Not yet out of it's box, but it will be later on today......
Collected it from my AD on Wednesday. One happy collector! The new 5205G Annual Calendar. I would have put some smiley faces on.............................If I knew how too!! LOL Regards Tony This message has been edited by Topcat30093 on 2010-11-19 02:3...
Congratulations
I look forward to seeing more shots of this one. I find it a striking modern dial with great use of silver and grey tones. People I have asked seem polarised about this Patek. It seems to be either love or dislike. That's good; I don't like bland watches....
I forgot to tell you ...
... how to make a face. It's easy. Just put : and - and ) together and you will have a face smiling back at you. A
superb Topcat. one of the nicest laid out Patek calendar/chrono's IMO
i think i should rejoin the plod and get a job like yours. then i can buy a Patek best Graham

Sunny end to a long week
Slipping on an old favourite this morning and will be slipping into what my kids call "Daddy's sleepy chair" tonight. AOPA Navitimer Oh did I mention it's from 1964. On occasion - she who must be obeyed - wears this vintage GP. This message has been edite...
lovely Navitimer Ubik. i...
lovely Navitimer Ubik. i knew it was from 1964 due to the gold coloured AOPA symbol on the dial. gold was only used from dec 63- dec 64. a bit of valuable info i found out recently which will pay dividends when i have the money to look for one myself. i w...
Love them both, Eitan.
But this very nice AOPA has something more... Go figure why... You definitely have a splendid collection, my friend. HAGWE in your " Daddy Sleepy chair "! Nicolas
Thanks
The gold wings with AOPA were used much earlier Graham, right back to the first ones in the Fifties. It is believed that that where they appear on the dial like mine, without the words Breitling and with AOPA inscribed on the wings that these were sold di...
thats interesting Ubik. was...
thats interesting Ubik. was it possible that i was looking at a cosmonaute with AOPA wings? either that or the information was totally incorrect. it was on a posting of a watch for sale so that might explain the 'over description'. the serial number was c...
i've got the Breitling book by the same guy who did Omega designs
i must get my research correct before i post lots of us '64 baby boomer here including at least 3 moderators. best Graham
Cosmo maybe
That might right for the Cosmo. You're always so generous with your info in your posts Graham, it's always a pleasure reading them.
we're all here to share...
we're all here to share our knowledge Ubik and i often think that posting a watch without any info is a tiny bit selfish. we all want the info to go with the watch. i have a lot more info on the Enicar, but i'll post it only when someone asks for more inf...
