The 37mm ones don't look too big. I generally loathe NOMOS but that Club Sport isn't bad, even if the dial color is not exactly an everyday choice. Is the crown pulled on the Longines?

ยท

I have the Nomos Club and itโ€™s solid, though some will say unremarkable. It wears really well the perfect case size and thinness. Only gripe is the lugs are very long for its size.

I like the Longines.

I had a Nomos Club a couple years ago and, though I really liked it at first, it caused an overwhelming feeling of ennui after a while and I sold it.

I was really surprised how they fit. Because normally I modern watches around 40 mm. But modern watch with proportions are not too bad at all.

I agree the dial color is probably not a EDC color but I like the color a lot and in real itโ€™s looking even better.

With the longines I was wondering too. I just tried for a second to screw the crown fix but I didnโ€™t worked. So I have no ideaโ€ฆ but i think the watch has a stew down crown.

Wearable are all club models and there are truly slim what I like a lot.

What kind of nomos model you wear?

I Iike the Longines as well. I like the champagne color. I think a watch is easy to combine with straps. Probably a Streb monster ๐Ÿ˜

I like plain watches/ clean watchesโ€ฆ I think for a NOMOS it is important to choose the right dial color combo. As I commented before i think this green ist special. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Witch watch you bought after the NOMOS and witch NOMOS model you sold ?

I double checked you galleryโ€ฆ good looking watches ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜

Did you have any issues with magne fields?

The watchmaker from the AD told me NOMOS watches are not built with silicium spiral so the watches are quite vulnerable.

No I am not around huge magnetic fields so itโ€™s not an issue. If it does get magnetized, you can degauss it at home or bring it to a professional.

I love longines spirit 37 champagne! But I find it too bingly for my taste. I think I would opt for the grand Seiko GMT from your poll. Hi Beat with true GMT function. But might be on the thickest watch in your choices

I agree.. if bingly means blingy ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ™‚? By the way my girlfriend sayed the Longines are to blingy and GS is to think and the lugs are to massive for her taste ๐Ÿ˜…

Thatโ€™s the reason I ask the crowd.

Anyway I thought probably to dress up the Longines you can wear the metal or a leather strap. To wear it more casual you can combine it with nice looking Nato strap. I mean at the end itโ€™s a Flieger style watch๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

I like the GS GMT but I tried it on to get a idea of the caseform and fit. Because I am looking for a quartz version in this case from GS

For example:

But at this day it was the only option that was close. And I have all ready a very slim GMT from a german brand ๐Ÿ˜Ševen if I think is a really useful complication. And I love to travel.

I also adore the white birch from Titel picture. What do you think?

Good too know. I never heard anyone saying they have trouble with there NOMOS because of magnetism.

The Watchmaker by the offering me the same. In any case I can by an they will fix that. He just likes to inform me about that fact.

By the way I cook with induction and the watchmaker says that can cause a โ€žproblemโ€œ.

Sounds like heโ€™s trying to sell you a watch service. You can get a degausser online and fix it yourself if youโ€™re comfortable doing so.

Ah yes I meant blingy. Damn it, why my auto correct doesnt work lol.

I believe Hi beat GMT from GS are using modified 44GS cases. Not sure if all are but if that is what you are looking for. You can consider the champagne SBGP001. It using nice champagne sunray pattern and is GS Signature 44GS case and also in Quartz

Extract from https://www.watchgecko.com/blogs/magazine/an-in-depth-look-at-the-grand-seiko-sbga373-spring-drive-part-2

"Grand Seikoโ€™s sunburst champagne dials are among the most difficult to make, with each watch undergoing an epic 12-stage manufacturing process, surpassing even the Snowflake. A little-known fact about the SBGA373 is that the dial colour differs slightly to other champagne models within the range, falling somewhere between champagne and silver, something that can only really be seen by comparing them side-by-side in person."

Probably ๐Ÿ˜„โ€ฆ not sure yet. I asked him if I can do the process by my self and he answered if I invest in the very expensive tool then yes.

So he was a older guyโ€ฆ so not shure if he knows that this days alternativeโ€™s out there or if he tryโ€™s stick me to the shop.

But in general the team was very kind and helpful. This time a good AD experience. I canโ€™t say thatโ€™s always the time.

Wow that is a beauty as well. I didnโ€™t had this one on the radar.

Definitely will check out the review. Thanks for that ๐Ÿค™

If could choose a GS wich would your pick ?!

I really like the Nomos Club Sport 37mm especially in this beautiful petrol color.

I think it's the perfect size because of the relatively long lugs the weare a little larger on the wrist.

I own some watches from Nomos and i really appreiciate that they are an independet watchmaker and produce nearly everything in house.

My second choise would be the Grand Seiko and absolutley stuning watchmaker that i will also ad to my colletion some day

I really like nomos as well and I find the as well the patrol color very appealing. But more and more I watch the pictures again I would appreciate more different lug to dial size ratio.

Grand Seikoโ€ฆ i have 2-3 watches on my radar I really like. I hope to I can afford one day one or in best case all of them ๐Ÿ˜„
