Max Bill or Club Campus as a dress watch?
Hi all, im torn between a white dial Junghans Max Bill Auto and a used Nomos Club Campus in one of the lighter colors. Im looking for my first dress watch to wear in my upcoming wedding.
Looks: Clearly subjective, but I’d say they’re tied. The Max Bill has the clean dial and sexy curved crystal but the Nomos-ness of the Club Campus also draws me.
Movement: the nomos manual Alpha movement is probably a step up to the off the shelf movement on the Max Bill. Yet there’s nothing wrong with undecorated reliability.
Build quality: i’ve never held either in hand but I suspect the Nomos takes the edge here.
Water resistance: clear Nomos advantage, but for my use case not a huge advantage.
Does any of you have both? I really like the Club Campus but I feel it needs a unique color and given I’m specifically looking for a white/light colored dial dress-y watch then im steering towards the Junghans. Is there anything else I should be considering in the $1.5k range?
