 Hey, guys

I'm looking into a German-made watch this time.  After having done some research online, I like several: NOMOS, Stowa, Muhle, and Schaumburg.  Price range up to $1,800.  What do you think?  Any suggestions?

(NOMOS seems a bit small)

 Hi,
you could check out Sinn, too. For large german watches, check the "B-Uhren" (remakes of WWII Pilots' watches, 45mm and up), preferred Divers and really made in Germany are the Sinn U Series as well as the Stowa Seatime and ProDiver series. Mühle Glashütte is nice, too, but their "biggies" might be out of your price range. If you are into the Dreadnought style, you could check out the Jacques Etoile Atlantis or the Alphatime Sawfish. Damasko has a huge following, too.

 I've got a Nomos Tangente Date. Yes, its 'small' by today's standards, but its all glass; very little bezel - so it wears bigger than it really is. I don't think you'd be disappointed.

Thanks, Marc.  That's what I thought.  But everyone seems to be out of them right now.  I like Schaumburgs, as well.  How about those?

 Don't know much about Schaumburg; sorry.

Are you looking for the Nomos Tangente Steel with or without date? Transparent caseback or not? I used to sell them, so I can still get them (Sometimes)

thanks-

Marc

 I have a Stowa Seatime I would never part with.  The Stowa Prodiver is similar and is held in high regard by most.  I can vouch for them from personal experience.

Marc,
I was really set on getting the Nomos Tangente Steel w/out date, off-white (silver) dial, transparent caseback, with a new in-house "Alpha" mov't.  Gnomon is out, Watchbuys does not have them, face4.gif, so I figured I'd hold off on the Nomos, and get something else.:(

 You didn't mention any US sellers, so I'll check with the US distrbutor. I should know by next week.

But, if Anders (Gnomon) is out of them, I'm sure the world is!

I guess I'll have to wait, then.  Isn't Watchbuys a US distributor?

 I can speak for the Stowa and Schaumburg and say either would be a great choice and under your price range....and I think Marc/IW may have a line on  some Nomos hand6.gif...but I have been wanting a Muhle for years and would like to hear from someone who owns 1 on this forum....(hint,hint)toon1.gif

 Muhle looks nice.  Anders at Gnomon has an M VI Chronometer in silver or black for $1,680.  Very tempting.

Just read somewhere on WUS that someone was spreading a rumor that Lindburgh & Benson (Schaumburg) timepieces were produced in China.  I, personally, have a hard time believing this, but want to be absolutely, 100%, sure that I'm shelling out close to $2,000 for a genuine German-made watch.
