Starting the day with this, again. My 1.1 is coming in today, or I should say coming back service today, but I’m not sure if I’m keeping it or not. If it doesn’t stick I may try to go all year with one watch. We shall see…

Afternoon switch to the Zodiac Sea Wolf that was just returned from repair by Terry’s guy. The setting gears were screwing up again on the Zodiac movement (an ETA 2824 clone made in house) and it had always wound like there was grit in the movement, so I said screw it and just did a movement swap with a real ETA 2824 and them swap the black date wheel and Zodiac rotor over to the ETA movement. Winds and sets smoothly now and will hopefully give many years of service before any more issues arise now.

Ha!

Hey Hop, can you send me a photo of the side profile of the watch (on a nato, on your wrist), to see how tall it looks compared to a regular Sub?

For comparison; the SD on the left and my former EZM9 on the right. The EZM9 is 12mm tall, which is about the same as a Submariner. The different is the Sinn case-back is flat and lugs curve down.

Mine was one of the ones that had the hour markers printed off-center to the corresponding minute markers. There was also a spot of AR missing on crystal. Sinn replaced the dial and crystal.
