Found a faint hairline scratch in my ceramic bezel. Feels batman.
My mate smacks his 45mm ceramic Plocean onto a doorknob and there were some seriously nasty marks on it. They all went away with time.

Yeah also things like dried water marks on the bezel can look like scratches. Give it a real good clean and if it's still there have a look at it through a loupe.

yeah pretty sure. You can see it between the 40 and the 50. It actually runs a little longer, but isnt quite as noticeable. The light has to hit it right.

Will you be replacing the bezel, or just chalking it up to patina?

Its not really that noticeable in person, its just annoying now that I have seen it once. Not worth replacing at this stage.

Torn Brahs….. Wanted to go all out and get a new Sub/Daytona/AP………….but realized after wearing my poverty orient cycling watches wasn't my thing. Would want one nice timepiece for night/out and about.
1) AP? I heard service is expensive but who cares……my car service is too. Only problem are they 'fragile'? require lots of upkeep or can I just put it on and roam
2) Daytona..love the look…but if I am only getting one would this be it?
3) New Sub……like the look, very common seems robust/a staple of a watch collection…..although will I tire of it after a while?
price point..ehh don't really care but if you were to grab one watch which would it be?

Of course, you could step it up a little more and get a Patek 5711 that will last forever.

It's a pretty simple robust movement, I've had a few that I wore everyday without incident

I would take the Daytona as It is the perfect middle ground. Luxury but still very versatile. Since this will be your first big purchase (apologies if I am assuming wrong) You may actually be put off by the AP services.
However an AP is my personal grail.

Any MWC brahs have or handled a Nomos Ahoi? I've been looking at one for a while now and found a pretty good deal on one. My only concern is paying double for what's essentially a beefed up/slightly sportier Tangente.

Ultimately though, the ahoi Atlantic is an awesome watch I would gladly own. Go for it!

But if you really like the Ahoi then why not? Something different to stand out from the crowd.

I'm so close to buying this one. It's a dream watch for me and the price is excellent.

Yeah I guess a lot of companies are pissed off at Nomos for offering such excellent quality for so cheap

Don't feel the need to flip this for the new Explorer, I don't feel the lume or longer hands are a big enough hook for me.
Love this as a daily, am tempted to add a GMT to the collection after trying my hairdressers on. It wears so well.

Thats for the smaller avenger II (43mm).
I actually have an original Avenger Skyland black dial on bracelet that I'm looking to unload if he's interested though. Like this (not my pic):

Got the new CW magazine today…basically an entire issue dedicated to justifying the branding change.
I see their point with regard to brand identity but am still having a lot of trouble liking the new branding
