Reluctantly listing my Sinn 856 UTC S. This watch has a unique story. I purchased it on ebay years ago, from a listing that had shoddy pictures and little info. Upon arrival, the watch was essentially non-functional. So, I had a prominent watch sho…

I've posted on the forums a bit about consolidating. Seems like everyone's doing it. I'd love to get to that moment of clarity (😋) if possible.
I've assembled some shots that follow. Snagged the whole collection, then broke it ou…

Continue readingFavorite Watches In Your Collection That Are Not Your Typical Style
Subject pretty much says it all. For me, 2 of my top 5 watches in the collection are divers, but I generally dislike “Diver’s” as a genre of watches. This topic I’m sure has been covered, but what the hell. What are some of your favorite watches that fall within a category that overall you’re not a fan of?
Continue readingFor me, it’s these two “divers” – The Sinn EZM and the slightly more ubiquitous Omega SMP 300.
But I’m sure WUS can come up with some fun examples to this query!

Periodically we get a “is this watch too big for me?” thread. They usually include some snarky comments and “if you have to ask…” type responses. Well, here’s mine finally. I’m a bit of a period-specific Omega mark – 1995-2015 or so. I have a Railmaster, Speedy, and recently acquired SMP 300 from around this era.

New Yema Release: Granvelle Square Case Vintage-esque
Just got the email about this new release. I really dig it. Has that vintage flair and uses their new micro-rotor movement. A bit pricey at $2k, but it looks pretty great. Especially the green. Size is a sweet spot – 39 x 47 x 8.6.

As a counterpoint to the “just not bonding with it” thread, what’s a watch you salivated over, saved up for, etc. and then ended up fulfilling all your expectations? Or, one you took a chance on and still ended up bonding with it to the point that it’s a long term keeper?

1) Sinn EZM3 – Was love at first sight, and it’s been awesome. Incredibly accurate, built like a tank, and I’m not even a diver guy typically. But it’s just so cool (to me). I even love the…
