Gnomon Watches

Post by mattcantwin » Fri Jul 05, 2019 5:18 pm

I'm really digging the gray Turtle I Bought from Gnomon Watches.

As noted in another thread, Anders sent me a picture of the watch's alignment for approval before shipping.


I've been wearing the watch steadily for a week (in rotation with other watches some days), but have not adjusted timing since arrival.

It is 1 second fast after one week on the wrist.


Maybe it's the luck of the draw, but remembered seeing this on the site:


Every item bought from GNOMON WATCHES will be tested on our WITSCHI timing machine for accuracy and
WITSCHI water resistant tester for water integrity before we ship.


We didn't discuss timing, but nice to know it's part of the sales process.


Certainly would buy from Gnomon again (and again).

I've bought many from them. Definitely one of my favorite Seiko and Squale retailers.

I’d recommend Gnomon to anyone. Purchased a few from them. Had one issue with a watch and it was taken care of promptly and professionally.

So do they adjust all watches then or just check them?

Positive experiences with Anders here also. Bought my squales from him and a couple bracelets and straps as well.

All flawless transactions.

I bought my Squale 50 Atmos from Gnomen and the transaction was 100% flawless and professional.

Just saw they do sapphire upgrades for the last Sumo model. Tempting even though I know the watch is too big for me.

It's so neat to hear that they seem to go above, and beyond like that Matt ! :clap:
You don't really see that all the time nowadays. So it's incredibly cool to hear
about sir. 8-) :thumbsup: Makes you enjoy the watch, and the hunt for it that much
more. ..Then have even more faith in Gnomon Watches.

Terrific to hear about Matt. Thanks a lot !

Guess I need to pay closer attention to details.


Gnomon included a pouch with the watch.

I didn't see a reason to open it when the watch arrived, but finally got around to it.

Surprised to see there was a strap in the bag, too.


I don't think it was just a random add as it would work pretty well with the Samurai; another nice touch.

Never bought from them but would be willing to try.

Any chance of getting a group buy for the upcoming Arnie this Fall?

Just kidding, Chris; too much respect for the U1-P to do that, even as a gag. :salute:
