Great looking watch (this is the 'silvercut', right?), just wish it was smaller. Their no bezel/spacious dial layout means they read as really large which I find kind of undermines the compact, mid century aesthetic. Looks like the Metro's wire lugs do help it to stay fairly centered on wrist though?

Feels like they just might be contrary enough to do it. Or they follow the smaller case trend (which, to their credit, they have always offered smaller case sizes) and start putting out 30mm cases with 50mm L2L and a full centimetre of space between case and strap on each side.

Close up shots are misleading as watches do look much larger when shot like that.

But... Nomos are also celebrated/vilified (delete as appropriate) for having very long lugs. That 36mm has 47mm L2L vs, for example, many Grand Seikos being 40mm x 46mm L2L. 36mm was the right call and you'll probably be OK but as a man with 7.25in wrists I can tell you any 38mm Nomos is going to noticeably overhang my wrist.

WC PSA: Hey Nomos, if anyone there reads this, please listen to this small but vocal corner of the community and consider redesigning your cases/lugs. If your 36-38mm watches had L2L of 44-46mm I would own at least three of them.

Relating to the pics above - I don't know the B&M so will check that out, but that pistachio Breitling B01 is a stunner. Best green dial on the market, hands down.

I'm all over the place. I tend to make one significant purchase per year and picked up a Zenith A384 a few months back so I'm probably done for 2024. What's next is a mess. I've got my eye on a small-ish GS dress watch that I love but is probably a bit much for day-to-day wear. I've also been eyeing a Black Bay 54 since I'm looking to get a quality diver as a 'holiday watch' and that one ticks pretty much all boxes (not a fan of their stepped faux-rivet bracelet though, so considering holding out until Tudor offer it on a jubilee or Forstner bands put out a BB54 equivalent option). Whatever handful of watches I'm looking at you can be pretty sure they are completely different so extremely hard to compare and contrast on a rational level. Most likely I will dither until one of my shortlist appears in a sale somewhere and I use that as an excuse to swoop since it would be stupid not to... 🙄

7.25in wrist here and all my Hamilton's are 38mm (don't wear anything over 40mm which I consider to be the largest size suitable for my wrist).

The North Flag is a great choice - I love mine - but a particular one. If the assignment is a great all-rounder I can't pass up the opportunity to sing the praises of the Longines Spirit 37mm. Chronometer, great size, strap monster, never out of place, great finishing, just a tremendous watch for the money.
