It's pretty much unique. Funnily enough I looked at a Tokyo a couple of years ago (the Anniversary Toki, not the GMT) and the salmon dial was pure filth as well.

Munter Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 As a fan of the Tudor Black Bay range I’ve been keeping an eye on Nomadic Watches from Belfast. Finally took the plunge on this black shamrock Ltd edition of their Marai BB homage a couple of weeks back. Very pleased with it. Certainly not as solid feel as the Tudors (esp the bezel) and clearly the movement is much lower quality - although Swiss sourced - but generally very tidy. Really like the small nods to Belfast such as the second hand in the same colour as the H&W cranes. First micro brand purchase and probably not the last. They also do a decent homage to a Grand Seiko White Birch. Shown on the green/gold fabric strap, but the steel bracelet is also nice. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that’s the pitfalls of buying a watch without physically seeing it and trying it on wrist before buying. Blow softened by selling it on chrono 24 Easter treat arrived today though to fill that space in the watch box thanks to a large discount from Watches of Switzerland Beautiful Omega, think that's the same piece Tony Docherty rocks. @Shadow Play? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure it is an Omega AT Doc has. Doc’s looks a little bigger so I’m wondering if Doc has a chrono version? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good find Dr M. I think the dial does have very faint sub dials and there does appear to be a pusher each side of the crown. Also, chronos are often a little larger than a simple three hand watch. I’m now not sure what make and model of watch it is though. @Bigmouth Strikes Again any ideas? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I am quite smitten with it it also seems to be a bit of a strap monster so should have some fun with it summer strap inspiration below but will maybe need to get some colour on the pasty skin first 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That salmon dial is stunning, there is another anniversary release coming soon going by his instagram posts and each watch he has released have all been eye catching, i would probably buy another if he released a 40mm case, the gmt was 38 but felt smaller on wrist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to lie I wasn’t a fan of the bracelet either, especially with it polished centre links, thought it was just a little to dressy for my tastes but it wears a whole lot better than I thought. The only reason I bought it with bracelet was because there was a massive 26% discount on it. I went in to the omega boutique run by Watches of Switzerland and tried to negotiate the same discount on the rubber strap edition but the lowest they could go was 10% off that (even though it is £200 cheaper rrp) and he couldn’t even sell me the bracelet edition for the discount showing online as it wasn’t on his system, although showing up online, he reckons it was a mistake so it got ordered from online almost as soon as I left the shop I’ll be ordering a replica omega rubber strap and deployant clasp and a few natos to swap around. the bracelet can come out for weddings and occasions I need to get out my trainers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
