A buy-what-you-like purchase. Very different from anything I've owned before, but I really, really like it.

Bought to replace both my GS/Nomos (I think).

edit- don't get me wrong, I've always bought what I liked, but this one probably has much less influencing factors than alot of the others. :D

^^^ Looks good Ryan. Be interested to hear your views, once you have had it a while.

I tried on the 42mm version a couple of years ago, before the 39mm was available. Looked good quality to me.

Nice Aikon Ryan :thumbup:
I've been contemplating a 42mm version for a while now so would be interested to hear your thoughts.
Pretty sure that Gary (Gaf1958) has one of these as well.

For some reason this pic is upside down? I rotated the original so it was upside down in the hope it would right itself. It doesn’t?

Had one, certainly. Lovely watch, but I’d definitely consider the 39, as I felt the 42 was just that bit big for the look… if that makes sense. They’re certainly gorgeous watches though.

It’s so difficult to capture the deep, bluish, sea grey of this sunburst dial.

You've done a pretty good job in this photo Steve. Also, nout wrong with the bracelet, but I think it looks much better on the rubber strap :thumbup:

Will do gents. Initial thought ... always carry a microfibre cloth because those 'claws' are smudge magnets!

First proper outing today.

After wearing the tiny Sturmanskie yesterday, this took some getting used to again. But once on it feels soooo right :)
