Was debating with myself between this and the FOIS all day long. Then masuk masuk the shop, the FOIS was sold just hours earlier. Decision made easy. Lol

The size is a bit big though.

The Sapphire Sandwich is a more classic model. Looks like the hesalite version but with the added durability of Sapphire and a display caseback to boot.

The brake in the Sapphire version is metal while the hesalite version is made of Delrin (plastic). The Sapphire version is also better decorated. That's why it costs  RM3,000 more.

Must be an omega fan to know such details.

Hey how come omega dont get a thread of its own. Not fair!

Any idea where's the service center for Nomos in Malaysia? They are using in-house movement so it may need to be sent back to a Nomos Service center for overhauls.

I dont even know if the brand is sold here? Haha.

Ive seen in hongkong and heard bangkok have it though.Attached Image
Use to crave this model. Its their dive watch.

Unfortunately the lugs overhang my skinny wrist.

You'd be surprised how good the Speedy looks in a brown strap. It's a very versatile watch wink.gif

Yup it does! Been browsing the net for it.

But for now, ill enjoy it in its original bracelet for a couple years, then only change.

I'd say buy what you like and don't care what others would say/judge onto you

However I do note that Malaysians in particular are very materialistic. Had a few bad experience with sales person over that

Thats true...unless its a very striking watch, 99% of the ppl wont care what watch you wear.

I don't trust in-house movements in the hands of third party watchmakers. The chances of them messing up on it is much higher than an ETA or Selita.

That's the main problem with Nomos. They do not have a service center in Malaysia. Makes it difficult and probably expensive to get it repaired.

U go buka service center

What for? And go blind in the process? Squinting your eyes for long hours is a surefire way to damage your eyesight.

Also, without a parts account with any brand, might as well open an ayam service center.

I would rather enjoy collecting watches than deal with the service side of things.

Well for a budget of about 5-6k, what automatic watch would you guys recommend? Currently wearing a Tissot Quartz watch and has a SKX007 already.

Sounds like an Oris kinda budget. They have some nice pilot watches to choose from.
