Getting obsessed with Nomos.

This is my third in two months. I really have to slow down, but there are at least two more on my list.

My new (to me) Tangente 2Date.

I have to admit that I've always thought the 2date was a bit silly. And I probably still do. But this watch just looks so damn good!

[Spirit Zulu Time] Minor accuracy annoyance

I recently got a Zulu Time and I'm completely in love with the watch. But one small annoyance -- when the watch is face-up (i.e. it's in my watch box), it's running about +10s/day. I confirmed that with a timegrapher, but also learned that when in other positions (e.g., straight up, upside down, crown down, etc), it's running anywhere from +0 to +7, depending on the position.

I know COSC certification involves testing a movement over 15 days in 5 different positions, so it's possible that, on average, the watch is running within COSC standards. But it's annoying not to get COSC-level accuracy in the most common storage position.

I bought it gray, or I'd just go to the AD and ask. Any thoughts on what, if anything, I should do?

Opus 5 is Clippy (for those who remember)

Constantly asking me if I want it to do things I didn't come close to asking it to do. It's starting to annoy me, so I'm burning Fable usage when I probably don't have to.

Dying (not literally)

After months of thinking about it, I pulled the trigger Friday and ordered a Zulu Time. Paid for Saturday delivery. Delivery was delayed due to a weather event in Kentucky (somehow...even though Jomashop is in Brooklyn and I'm in New Jersey). That was a little irritating, but it was scheduled for delivery today. So I made sure to work from home. Aaaand UPS randomly decided that they won't deliver it until tomorrow. Argh!

tl;dr -- first world problems (do people still say that?)

Things crashing on all my devices

For some reason, Things has started crashing immediately after opening on all my devices (MacBook, iPad, iPhone). I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling on my Mac and iPhone, but with no luck. One thing I noticed is that when Things on my phone will stay open (as a fresh install) until I try to connect to iCloud. When I try to connect it crashes.

What I hope is not relevant is that I started using a Things MCP server about 7-10 days ago. I have such a nice Claude workflow going with Granola, Capacities, and Things. It would suck if I can't use it.

Would anybody happen to have any ideas? I've emailed support, but who knows how long it'll take for them to get back to me.

Older Tangomat accuracy?

I recently got my first Nomos -- a pre-owned Tangomat, an older model with (I think) the Epsilon movement. Got it for what I think was a good price and its condition is almost perfect. I love the watch.

BUT it turns out that it's running about + 10 sec/day, which I knew when I bought it. Is that within an acceptable range for this watch? Or should I get it serviced? I have no idea what its service history has been to this point.

[Club neomatik 39] Wrist shot request (or just input) and question

I'm considering buying a Club Neomatik 39 online, but I'm a little concerned about its lug width. I have a 7 inch wrist and I think the lug-to-lug on it is 49.5. That's almost identical to my Hamilton and that fits pretty well, so maybe it's ok. But I'd love some photos and any thoughts anyone has?

While I'm at it -- it's a pre-owned model that they claim was serviced in February 2026, but they're showing an accuracy of +14 s/day. That strikes me as a bit high. Or is that number normal (or not necessarily indicative of what I might get)?

EDIT: It's a Club CAMPUS. Left that bit out.

[104 Classic 12] Convince me.

So, for a long time, I've been eyeing up the Longines Spirit Zulu as my next major (to me) watch purchase. I'd probably go with the blue bezel / black dial or, maybe, just go all out and get the 1925 (both pictured).

But a few days ago I discovered the Sinn 104 Classic 12 and I've been pretty obsessed with it. Just a really clean design and color combo. And I think it would make a great daily.

Anybody feel like trying to convince me one way or another? I assume I'll get more pro-Sinn people here and that's perfectly ok.

If it matters, 7 inch wrist. I'm a litigation attorney, but more than 80% of my work is from home or my local solo office. I rarely go into the main office. I go to court occasionally, where I think I'd prefer to be seen with the more understated 104 (and certainly more understated than the Zulu 1925).

[Tudor Black Bay One] Where is the love?

To me, the BB One is just a gorgeous watch. I like the sportier BBs too, but the One would be my first choice. Maybe that's because I have to regularly wear a suit and the One just works better for that (IMO)? Anybody have any thoughts on why it doesn't get more love? Is it because people go Ranger if they aren't going dive-style, GMT, or dress?

Any thoughts good or bad on Nezumi and these watches in particular?
