Nothing pricey, but wife and daughters surprised me with an early birthday present over the weekend:

So far, so good.

 :thumbup:  Very nice! I was ready to pull the trigger on a nixon very similar to that one when I lost misplaced my old watch last fall.  But then I found my watch so no hurry now.   :)

The new Tag has been in an accident.

This only adds to the sentiment that I'm too f*cking old to go to clubs. F*cking p*ss off and a half...

Crap...sorry to hear. Can it be repaired?

I have a couple of 'weekend watches' to make sure the nice stuff doesn't get screwed up at a club, the gym, etc...

Did the Sapphire crystal break? – Good thing it’s under warranty.
A few months after getting my Caliber S and while in Cuba I broke the Sapphire crystal somehow. See pic attached where you can see the crack at the 57.5 sec mark.
I thought that crystal would be able to take a blow hard enough that I would at least feel it when it happened. Apparently not.
Post a pick of the damage.

I think the crystal is fine. I took an accidental blow to my watch arm and it got knocked pretty hard. The strap is done for, and I caught the watch before it fell onto the ground. Time for a NATO strap, I think.

Glashütte, the home of Nomos and a number of other watchmakers, is the birthplace of Germany's watch industry.  After WWII Glashütte wound up in East Germany, and the DDR government amalgamated each of the small watchmakers into one state-owned firm.  After the fall of the wall, many of the little firms (like A. Lange) were re-established, and new companies, like Nomos, were founded.
