Nomos

[JRell]

Easy question - while I wait for my Daytona ceramic white dial to come in, should I buy the Nomos white dial black strap, dress watch tomorrow. My AD said it just came in. Good price, in-house movement, manual wind which I am ok with because will only wear for business/dress. $2500. Adding it to my 114060 and blue datejust 41.

Is the question, “should you buy?”

Nomos makes great watches at very fair price points. I owned a Club Date for a couple years. I don’t have a single criticism I can think of. I have watch ADD so I stopped wearing it and eventually sold it, but that is no criticism of the watch itself.

The one you posted is a bit plain for me, but if that’s the look you’re going for then Nomos is a solid buy.

Sorry! Yes should I buy, made the edit. Great feedback. I agree plain, but what I am going for when with suit and understated.

No - Dont buy a watch you dont want. Wait for the Daytona - the DJ will more than cover the Nomons as a dress watch (its even better).

Sounds like you just gave your reason for buying the Nomos. If understated is what you're going for when in a suit, your fluted DJ41 on jubilee, as beautiful as it is, is not the right fit. For the price, and Bauhaus design style, Nomos is hard to beat. I say go for it!

Nomos makes great watches. But personally, I wouldn't get one if it's a "tide me over" watch. That never works for me.

If I did do a tide me over watch, I'd get a Rolex as it's easy to move with relatively less loss if needed.

Hope this helps. All the best.

Oh and you already have nice two watch collection. So even if you didn't get a new watch, what you have is awesome.

But who are we kidding. That's not we think. Haha.

Thanks man! I appreciate it. I am torn because I see the point I don’t really “need” this watch but I love the white dial against the black strap look. The datejust does do its job with a suit, but sometimes I don’t want my clients to see bling, something more understated.

If you love it, get it! Not much else matters in the decision. FWIW, I would buy that watch in a heartbeat if it was offered to me.

Daytona and NOMOS...perfect together. You will also be surprised how well you can dress down the NOMOS. Great watch.
