LightGeek 25 Posted August 16, 2013 I'm seriously ready to drop a few thousand overseas for this fellow. The seller seems solid and replies quickly according to their timezone. Are there any red flags at all I might want to be aware? I'm going to use PayPal. http://tinyurl.com/lbmyc6v Any comments appreciated! Here's a pic of the kill...

warcelo 0 Posted August 16, 2013 Beautiful watch! Very classy! I don't know anything about this seller but i would take lots of care! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted August 16, 2013 By the way it's about $470 below Nomos factory direct. Oh and I'm waiting for an answer if their final price I asked includes duty/taxes. If I order direct from Nomos, it includes duty/taxes which will cut that savings down to "forget about third party" range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SB56667 155 Posted August 16, 2013 Shit, man, that watch is a thing of beauty, and if you've got the funds for it and your instincts tell you to pull the trigger, all I've got to say is: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSTEEL 0 Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Is this the one for sale on TURF? Only £910 too. http://www.newturfer...highlight=NOMOS Looks great. Domn, its sold, you could of got a bargain there. Edited August 16, 2013 by SSTEEL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnPilot 1 Posted August 16, 2013 Watch looks good, he is TS so I guess little risk. He lives 30 min away from me, if he cheats I can pay him a visit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted August 16, 2013 Well, looks like I'll buy direct from Nomos in Glashutte. It's not worth the tiny bit of savings to go third party. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LightGeek 25 Posted August 17, 2013 One more thing. I just need to sell one more thing... Ahhh. What to pick... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted August 17, 2013 Ok with the 388 and 505 hopefully shipping soon (why did I order an ALS too, now I gotta wait)... I think the answer is obvious. Must sleep on it and be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LightGeek 25 Posted August 17, 2013 Just for that, I'm going to list the final piece now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted August 17, 2013 I've put out a final inquiry for the Tangomat. I'm currently $~250 short and I'm hoping not to cut one more watch from my stable for it, but I might. I have until Monday to decide (for me) whether I'll go the 38mm Tangente or Tangomat -- both with sapphire caseback. Thanks guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted August 17, 2013 Ok it's decided. I'm going to sell my SOSF too. Damn the cupboard is so bare, but I know once the dust settles from the Nomos, I can resume filling activities once more! The worst part is you look at your PayPal account, see the huge chunk of change and think... how many reps could I (re)buy with that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted August 18, 2013 Maybe I should just get this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LightGeek 25 Posted August 18, 2013 It's now a fight to the death and price negotiations. This is the shortlist: Tangente 38mm, Sapphire Back - this is the size I'd like but it's manual wind Tangent 35mm Gangreserve: - if it's a manual wind then a power reserve is a big plus, but it's "only" 35mm Tangomat 38mm, Sapphire Back - no power reserve needed because it's an auto, it's just a few hundred out of the budget Tetra 30mm Gangreserve, Sapphire Back - manual wind, it's neat -- maybe small Tetra zartbitter 30mm, Sapphire Back - this is pretty neat, if small Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,777 Posted August 18, 2013 With all the reps and the style of the watches you've bought in the past, I'm surprised to see you going so gung ho over these. Totally doesn't match the previous models Gotta say I'm not a fan of them, but if I had to choose one, I'd go with the first one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfwood 4 Posted August 18, 2013 All of them are so small. You sure they'll look good on your wrist? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andyjb83 0 Posted August 18, 2013 I'd get the Tangomat 38mm, Sapphire Back, noting its a few hundred out of your budget. If it's TRULY out of the budget get the same in manual wind. Manual wind are beautiful, esp in a quality gen piece. Have you ever worn a 35mm? They feel very small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheInthusiest 0 Posted August 18, 2013 Mate, different dials look bigger than they actually are. Its really hard to tell. Hopefully you make the right decision. GLWB (GoodLuckWithBuy) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah my wrist is similar but anything smaller than a 38 IMHO is too small, unless it's like a vintage dress watch (patek calatrava etc). The Nomos is a lovely watch but it doesn't look that thin, hence 38mm would be my choice. Good luck with your decision! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
