Watchlords

.

It was I that purchased IWB's beautiful Nomos Zurich Blaugold watch & complete kit (watch ref #822) .

The watch is absolutely gorgeous! Dial switches from bright blue to almost black (and combinations thereof in-between), handsome case and the finish of the 100% in-house movement is absolutely stunning.

Here are a couple lame pics en casa de codguy which does it no service..... will work on better pics in the future
(The rifle magazine/rounds in the background was a gratuitous gesture for Lord Hawk).





I am switching out the NATO strap for three others also furnished by IWB, original horween shell cordovan, Rios blue in calf and one from B&S.


Here is the original "for sail thread", the pics from both IWB and franklin are sooo much better

As a pertinent note;
The transaction was smooth as silk, 2nd day shipment was packaged nicely received in flawless condition........ and Juan has great taste in watches!


Thank you in advance for my first Glashutte membership card.

Juan takes great care of his watches and has an enviable collection. Congrats on a beautiful watch. First you have bought in some time, no?

Nope.
Recently purchased a bronze Zenith Pilot watch.

^^^Derp! How could I forget that one?

You are on a roll, sir.

What a fabulous watch. Glad it was you who grabbed it. Congrats.

great purchase. Nomos is on my short list in the next year or two. A photo of a shot of good cognac would round out the photo.

Great lookin' watch - love the blue.

Nice, looks great on both sides. Congrats, I hope to see that one in person some time.

Hot damn! Thanks for the no fuss deal as well. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I would try it on the RIOS strap last, that strap was made for this watch. Let's see a pic of the gun.

It's always grand to see a pair of fine Lords come to a deal! All of my deals here have been great.

No cognac (retired on a fixed income here)......... but Tequila on the other-hand

Let's see a pic of the gun.

As requested.....Steyr Mannlicher SSG69 (own two versions). Below pic shows one of them with a Leopold 6.5-20 scope, also have a Zeiss & Kahles on factory QD rings to swap out with either as desired......





And if anyone is into factory tack drivers (or "working rifles"...)
