Nomos Ahoi

Recommended Posts

Long time on my grail list, the rep doesn't disappoint! Dark dial with AR coupled with gold hands and red seconds make it a stunner. The display back movement is very nicely detailed as well. See the small black Nomos logo by the balance wheel?

 

The rep strap is absolute trash, but gen Nomos straps are very affordable so definitely getting one. Yep. The rep strap is utter trash.

Small finishing detail issues but still great. Now that I know the size is ok, I may go for gen...

The "unlimited position" strap ensures it fits just about any wrist.

Looks great! I actually bought an ahoi earlier but it turned out to be noticeably smaller than the gen size. I'm glad to see that they made a new rep (or maybe I just got a poor version).

 

I'll have to consider this in the future.

Wow, this is a nice looking watch. Will like to see what you get to replace that awful strap.

Got it from Mary, forgot the price at moment, but is inexpensive. I'll spring $90 CAD for the gen strap.

The rep strap is ~110/67. The gen only goes down to medium which is a bit longer. I ordered the medium anyway.

Great catch! Enjoy this one, it looks really close to gen.

 

I'm hoping they rep the Minimatik and the Metro neomatik soon...

Lovely watch.

 

I also hope they rep the Minimatik or the Metro. They are my favs from Nomos.

Sorry to bump this one. Bought the white one, and am really positive on it.

I find it very noisy, either the rotor or while handwinding.

Thought this comes from the case build, but I'd like to know if this is also affecting other (rare) owners.

Thx :)

Hey Pix, old friend :)

 

Mine is loud as hell, even after lubing the rotor....

- maybe they should have used a better rotor bearing :mousepanic-R:

- and the canon pinion could be a little bit higher

 

else it's a pretty nice rep

 

Still deciding between the Ahoi and the Metro which gen it's going to be???

 

and some pics to enjoy:
