I've been swept off my feet

    Set off today, after weeks of research online to purchase a Nomos Tangente Date. Got to the store, saw her in person and ...... it just wasn't for me. I walked in all pumped up and excited, I was sure this was my next watch and felt like the wind dropped out of my sails.

    Deflated, I walked around and then went over to vintage watch gallery thinking looking for an old speedmaster to distract me and pine over and what do I stumble upon?

    Box and Papers included, I'm in love.

    There is a strict "one in one out" policy imposed right now so as soon as my Railmaster sells, this will be mine (I'm also stalking this one on ebayPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network.

    Thank you! I was hoping you had a vintage Railmaster as I might be interested in adding another. . . Sigh!

    Loving it so far. The dial is so much more interesting in person. The indices twinkle in the light and the moon phase has a great color changing effect.

    I'm not super sold on this tan ostrich strap, thinking about getting a really dark blue gator like this to test out.

    Very nice!

    The Nomos feeling is familiair by the way. I once went in to buy a Tangomat, but everything I liked in the pictures, let me down irl. Didn't sit well on my wrist and the polished case looked, well, cheap.

    The Railmaster is nice, but the Zenith? Nicer.

    Took a few more shots with some dial close ups. Boy am I loving it.

    Changed out the ostrich strap it came with for a blue Hirsch.

    wow didnt realise you could get such great macro shots from an OlloClip. Might have to consider getting one of them. Do you have any more shots with an Olloclip showing the whole watch (not so zoomed in)?
