One of my favourite watches I've ever owned and worn, the Nomos Metro Gangreserve has unparalleled, understated style. Women love it, men want to hold it 
(joking aside, these are true experiences I've had with this watch).
Quick stats:
- 37 mm diameter excluding wire lugs (18 mm wide lugs)
- Sapphire crystal front and display back
- Galvanized silver, slightly off-white dial
- Entirely in-house built to highest standards
- 7.65 mm thick
- Manual wind DUW 4401 movement with 42 hr power reserve and nice power indicator on dial. Very easy and pleasant to wind
- Excellent condition, minimal wear with only hairlines evident on polished surfaces
- Includes 3 good condition shell cordovan straps with quick release
- Comes with full kit, including box, papers, manual, receipt for Canada duties importation ($537), extra thin deployant clasp
To borrow from this excellent Hodinkee review:
"[Nomos] brand showed us something that takes the definition of "in-house" to the next level: a true, in-house escapement. Few manufactures have the know-how or the technological capabilities to create escapements in-house, with even many revered manufactures bringing them in from one of a handful of creators. Today we bring you the Nomos Metro, the first watch to exclusively utilize the new Swing System escapement made right in Glashütte. This is big news, people.
To debut the Swing System, Nomos created a new watch, the Metro, in collaboration with Berlin-based designer Mark Braun. The Metro is a handsome, slightly idiosyncratic watch, but at its heart is a serious technological development."
Asking $3600.
