What's the case say? I see you've cunningly covered something up... what are you hiding?

CAse is Titanium as is the bracelet. The watch is left handed you may have noticed so that when the German Special Forces guys are shooting their sub machine guns they don't get the crown and pushers sticking into the backs of theri hands.
Details of this watch here: http://www.broadarrow.net/ezm1.htm
Review here : LINK
This watch has not been available for about 3 years maybe moere. This year they released 250 only as the movement has been discontinued and they must have kept 250 back. Anywa, not a great idea to publicise the serial number engraving of some Limited Edition watches so I blanked it out....

So, do you use you SMG left or right handed? If you do it backwards like your watch-wearing, won't the crown stick into your wrist on your right hand, rendering this watch obsolete for you, and more deserving of a left-sided (australian) wrist?
Think about it, you'll see my logic is foolproof!
Oh, and again...WOW!

I read yopu logic perfec..... it does in fact stick into my wrist but not like the Autavia did, and after owning one of these almost 4 years ago it is something I can handle.... It just has something I need. To think that the first one I had was £650 and this one was £1,650 ish shocking hey?
But also, the watch is great but the big c clip braclet shoulders are rubbish.. as is the silicone strap... all looks cool and works fine but not a patch on how cool the watch is.....

Hey MAt, do not worry for a second, it is a great watch but as it has not been around for a while its general profile has dropped out of circulation and it is only us 'old' watch obsessives who know that mutch.
At some stage you should try one on as I thik it might beup your street.

And do they have any more?
I just contacted Sinn direct. Told them who I am and they offered me one.....
No I don't have any more it was a personal purchase as i said earlier for my birthday. I explained it was a gift for me and they said ok no problem. I ordered it a few months ago and only paid for it on Monday. Some companies can be very civilised if they know who you are and what you do......

I wish that worked for me (in any context, not just getting a limited edition watch whilst all of the Sinn "collectors" squabble in other forums about how "unfairly" they have been treated by Sinn in not getting one).
I do like these watches, a lot. It is clear they are an excellently conceived and executed idea.
However, I am not totally won over by all the hype about them.
Not being negative, it is a great watch. But some of the hype is excessive (imho).
But you can hand it over to me anytime.....

I agree about the hype, it is just a very good looking clever watch.... with a particular history to its design. Was I happy to pay their 'new' price, well not really but having owned one before I new I really would enjoy it so I closed my eyes and pressed the button.
You know how it is....... |

Even though it's not vintage - I love it
In fact if I was a little younger I would certainly have one for myself ! ! ! |
