It looks like Iconic ship to the USA (their small print says they ship to anywhere that FedEx operates) and their price for the Worldtimer is £2,980 ($4,598). My Datejust and Aqua Terra came from Iconic.
You might have to think about import taxes.

Thanks for the link but it's less money on the Continent by a few hundred dollars and I'll be there a week from today. I love the UK but I've found its really tough to find good deals on watches there.

I like the Zenith more but given that the Nomos seems like a deal that may or not be around later I would go Nomos.

I'd go with the Nomos. It's a great watch and more unique than the Zenith at this point. Given the excellent price on the Nomos, it just seems to make more sense to go with it now. Plus, I am personally a big fan of that Nomos.

Ryan, that Nomos looks incredible on your wrist...that gets my vote. Also, the 38mm Zenith does look better on your wrist than the 42mm. My wrist is flatter and the 38 is too small and you're a bigger guy than me....that's why I was thinking the 42 was better for you.
Have a great trip!

I think it looks to big on my 7.5" wrist. Even if it didn't, the space between the edge of the dial and the sub dials is to much for my liking.
Just for reference, this is what the Nomos looks like on me.

I prefer the Nomos purely on looks though, but either 1 is a great piece.
Decisions,decisions !!!

Okay, the 42mm is too big. Maybe you're just wearing the 38 too tight.

One minute I say Nomos then I start to second guess myself. Hopefully it becomes clearer over the next week.
I'm curious to know if ADs in Europe negotiate on price like they do here in the states. If I could get the Nomos even lower that might be the tipping point.

The lugs are short compared to the Nomos.
