I have to admit that I like the look of the rubber strap with the endlinks on the 54–and would consider acquiring them for my 58. I find that the endlinks (to me) make a rubber strap look very good on a watch–as opposed to just the rubber strap alone.

Thanks for your insights!

[UPDATE (5/22/25): I just learned that having a third party replace the battery will void the warranty (we have about 4 years left on the 8-year warranty).

I'm inclined to go ahead and do the third-party battery change anyway.

But I thought I'd check: would it make more sense to preserve the warranty?]

Hi Everyone! So I have had my BB58 (black) for almost 3.5 years now. I love the watch, but I have always been frustrated by the really long clasp (particularly with the non-articulating link on the 6 o'clock side). It's just not ideal for someone with a small wrist--like me!

Hi Everyone! I had a chance to visit a Nomos AD yesterday. I've had my eye on the Club 36 (the original Club) for some time, and wanted to try it on. As it happened, they had several other models that I have been curious about.

I have pretty slim wrists, and so I had expected only the 36mm Club or the 35mm Tangente to work on me. To my surprise, though, I felt that all of the watches I tried looked pretty good.

I know that a lot of people talk about Nomos's long lugs. A factor that does...

Hi Everyone! I am considering getting an after market leather strap for my BB58 (black/gilt). I am looking at one of Toshi Straps's amazing offerings.

However, I noticed that the lug hole placement on the BB58 is quite low, near the tip of the lug. Here is a pic:

My question is this: will a leather strap look odd on this watch? That is, will the lug hole placing make the watch stick up a bit? And create a large space between strap and case?
