Interesting watch on eBay - Nomos

[SeventyThree]

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOMOS-Glashutte-Club-Dat...

A friend of mine raves about these Nomos watches (he's got two). Apart from him I don't know anyone who's got one.

What do you think, worth a bid?

Considering the seller has no feedback prior to this listing, I'd be incredibly wary! The same goes for the fact that the seller is starting bids at 99p for what is a £1430 watch ... The pictures look like a Nomos, but I doubt you would receive the same watch!

Stay clear of that one!

Well, I've had some communication with the buyer and they seem genuine - they've sent me some extra pictures (including wrist shots).

By coincidence they are also aware of this thread as the seller is a car nut and long-time reader of PH (although they don't post)!

I had a Nomos, great watches, very nicely made but on the small side.

I've been speaking with the seller and received a few extra pics of the watch - I take back what I posted earlier. It also seems we have a long-time lurker on this small sub-forum too!

Am I right in thinking that the Club Date, at 38/39mm, is one of the bigger ones?

In any case that's a good size for me. I'm not that keen on great big gaudy watches.

It's up to over £300 now after one day so obviously the seller had the right idea starting it low - we shall see...

Most of Nomos' models are smaller, I picked up one of their catalogues a few days ago from Jurawatches after looking at some of the models in their store - someone could get a bit of a bargain here and if it wasn't for a recent wallet wilting 4 wheel related expence I'd probably be having a punt on this myself.

They sell them in Watches of Switzerland now (at least the branch in Cardiff!). Seem to me to be well made pieces, which bearing in mind they make their own movements, are good value for money at their price point.

I've decided against buying this myself (as per my other 'what watch' thread) but if any of you are still interested bidding ends tomorrow so get in there!

(No link with the seller by the way but I've seen extra pics of the watch and it looks immaculate)
