Bernie whilst what you have set out above is clear - I.e. not another thread about a group of things that may put you of a watch, but an example of specifics where ONE aspect of a particular watch you otherwise really liked prevented you from buying, it seems to have drifted a bit!tempusmaximus wrote:Have you really liked a watch , but the date window or other feature , puts you off purchasing it . Take this Hamilton pilot pioneer automatic chronograph , I like the watch , but think it would look better without the date window . Is there a watch you really like , but something about the watch puts you off purchasing it (other than the price ) It can be anything from size , lugs , sub dials , font etc .
I thought I would try and answer your post, not just the heading of the thread.
- Nomos Orion: like the dial and for a Nomos the lugs look fine and match the case. The shape of the watch - feeling like a pebble in the hand is attractive. But after trying it on, it was the pebble shape that meant it didn't sit well on my wrist so it prevented me buying.
- Nomos Tangente: Ah that's better, still like the dial and the case shape means the watch head sits flat on the wrist. However the lugs just look wrong to me when it's on the wrist, so another no.
The result of the above was that I bought a Nomos Ludwig, which was originally my third choice Nomos.
