If I continue to stare that those minute
markers I think I’ll have a seizure.

I'm not opposed to busy watches, but that thing literally hurts my eyes. No Más.

The Damasko is like $2650. A nice value.

Better without the hideous green.
But I’ll reiterate what others have said. You’d better see some evidence of improved CS before investigating in a Damasko Chrono, especially in a modified one such as this.

That’s a great looking $500 watch.

Damasko is a bit of an odd egg for me.

Yes, they beat by a different drummer...they have their own timetable when it comes to releasing things like their bracelet and such, but their willingness strike out on their own, wins some points in my book.

This watch needs something to offset the monochromatic color. The Sinn is cleaner without a doubt.

But the thinner movement in this new offering is a definite plus. And the price isn't too bad.

I don't think it's great looking at any price! Probably high quality though.

It’s growing on me. DC80 is different enough from the 1.1 that it may hold its own in the same watch box.

Can you run this type of Chrono module all the time? Because with hands all around the dial it looks great but once reset at 12 it'll be a little blah

I don’t mind it.
Seems super busy in pics but I think it will be better in real life.

Shit ton better than their other watch that had this movement.

Price wise- i would need it to be used at a really big discount from the brand new price

I don’t know with this model. But with my first ezm’1, I was used to having a running seconds so I always kept it on- for maybe a week. No issues at all.
If I still had an ezm 1 I would not do that. I’m used to not having a running seconds now.
