Hello!
I am about to pull the trigger on a Nomos watch which the seller claims is a 2020 model, but the photos show a few scuffs, is it me who is being paranoid or the watch has been roughly treated. What do
you gals and guys think? I am also considering another watch from 2014 which just looks cleaner.
In my experience Nomos watches can pick up a few light scratches and marks easily with daily wear.
The 2014 watch may be cleaner, but won’t have a warranty (which the 2020 one still would, I assume?) and you may need to service much sooner - depending on its service history.

Thanks for your advice. Do you think it is a real 2020, seller says he bought it second hand. I am a bit hesitant to buy a watch that has had at least two owners only one year after its production. I am attaching a photo of the certificate I received and of the me mechanism, any more thoughts?
Photos can make a watch's condition look a whole lot worse than it really is. I won a watch on eBay last year for silly money compared to what they normally go for because it looked quite trashed in the pictures. When I received it, it looked just fine - some hairline scratches, but very presentable on the whole.
Thanks for your reply. Yes, that's a possibility but the price difference is significant. It looks like a brand that is undervalued for some reason, not many people go after them so resell prices are usually well below MSRP.
A highly polished watch hitting the light just right will blitz every tiny scratch. Seller should have taken a photo in diffuse light, too, to show what it normally looks like.
Stewart’s is a Nomos AD so unless someone went to a lot of trouble to fake a warranty card from that fair city I’d say there’s a good chance it’s genuine.
Thanks for the advice! I was too slow and someone else bought it. It is still better to be slow and lose the bid than to buy with doubts.
