How about both A and B?

Both the 40mm Mark XX and 41mm Spitfire. TBH the Spitfire is about as big as my wrists allow though and I do find that I wear the Mark XX far more.

A few Nomos movements have bidirectional date settings, most notably the Update lines. It’s a really nice feature if it’s not your daily wear.

You guys are making me jealous - I’m targeting the Midnight for my second Farer. Any signs of patina on the bronze inside the dial? I’d imagine no due to the seals but thought I’d check

These two get a fairly even amount of wrist time, with a slight nod perhaps to the Farer.

Lol yeah I’d recommend it. The resolute has basically become my daily, sharing time with my IWC. Very comfortable. I’d recommend the bracelet (at only $175) but the butterfly clasp may not work for some. There are half links and the 36 is light enough that a little swelling and contracting isn’t affecting the drape much.

I don’t have experience with their GMTs or the Sellita SW330. I do know that it’s a caller GMT, which doesn’t always work for some. That said I am considering the Lander IV in midnight, mostly because I love the bronze hands, bronze chapter ring, and overall colorway. They have a great design aesthetic.

Oh - one thing: I would recommend against their granolo straps - way too thick. A slim non-padded strap like the Delugs slim line works best for these.
