This could be tricky (EZM3)

Post by snootydog » Sat Jun 02, 2018 4:07 am

What could possibly be in this tiny little tube from Germany?

This might help

All because of this

The little lume triangle went missing a while ago and although I was lucky enough to buy a brand new bezel from someone in Sweden at the ridiculous cost of £5, I thought I'd ask Sinn if they did the triangle as a spare part. The answer was yes 6€ but 25€ postage. The ever helpful Sandra at Sinn suggested they ship it to one of their UK dealers with their next consignment and have it posted on once in the UK. So yesterday it arrived via Page & Cooper and no one has asked for 6€ yet so I'm now assuming it's a freebie :grin:
Just how I'm going to manage fitting it I really don't know, it's going to be tricky, good thing I have the ultraviolet torch for when it lands on the carpet :lol:

Just wondering, how much was a new bezel with lume triangle from Sinn?

Sandra is wonderful and a pleasure to work with. If she’s as attractive as her personality then there is a lucky guy at home.

I dread to think how much the whole new bezel would cost direct from Sinn but I was very lucky and more than happy to pay just £5 for the brand new one from a guy in Sweden. I intended keeping the new bezel for if and when I sell the watch, but to be honest, my EZM3 is definitely a keeper :grin:

Good deal on both the bezel and Luke pip. The bezel would have at least cost you $200 USD.

Btw, is that a Haveston strap?

Yep it's a Haveston strap. I've tried hard to like NATO's and they always look great when you guys on here wear them but I just can't get on with all the extra strap on the side of the wrist. Havestons sliding keeper means that the buckle can be worn under the wrist. Pity they are stuck on doing military themes although they could colour it up by going into regimental uniform colours or something.

Thanks, I’m waiting until they get more in stock.
