Sinn EZM3F landed today.

First impressions; clean dial, fantastic case shape, great bezel with no play, nice lume. The 200m water resistance is surely fine for the shower and washing the car. I suspect it'll do better in the real world as the standard EZM3 is 500m. A domed EZM1 style crystal would put this over the top.

I've come to the realization that smaller watches - 40mm-42mm - work best for my preferred style of wear, on a NATO strap. Having owned larger watches I usually find they also look good on NATO, but tend to either be too large or too heavy, causing discomfort or feeling very lopsided. This 41mm piece wears great on a NATO and, while the lug to lug is at my "minimum acceptable" (for my 8" wrist) I don't find the watch too small overall. I think the NATO hardware helps give it a visually larger overall wrist presence.

Of course, the Ranger, at 41mm also works perfectly on NATO.

Your thoughts?

Massive improvement on the old EZM 3 purely by removing the extra numerals on the dial. Nice one!

I like it, and it's perfect on NATO.

Too small on your wrist... I want one.

Too small on your wrist... I want one.

So I should probably sell you this one then right, since it's too small?

[jimyritz]

Congrats Ed--looks great..

[hoppyjr]

Looks perfect on a nato. How are you feeling the left crown?
I wear all my watches on the right wrist since I was a kid (I'm not lefty) and the few times I tried to wear them on the left the crown bothered me big time on larger watches.
I always wondered how come left crown watches weren't more common

I've had a couple left-crown Sinn's and I have no problem with them. It's different but works fine.

[kempoman]

Like it.

[hoppyjr]

Thanks guys. The size is my only concern.

Please do give me your thoughts on small Sinn vs large Hoppy.

[rockmastermike]

Fantastic! I like the white date better than the red date.
The size is perfect, too
I love mine with its extra numbers

Looks like a 36mm watch on my wrist. It could work for you.

Funny thing is a 36mm Explorer was my first Rolex, back in 1999. I wore the shit outta that thing and never once thought about the size. After owning Panerai, Planet Ocean XL, and big Kobolds & Korsbeks I now have size on the mind all the time, even though it's likely not a real issue.

Doesn't Mike (Demer) have my size wrist and wear 40mm stuff too?

[toxicavenger]

just wear that shit if it feels comfortable, if not go and buy a baby-gshock from pat

Looks so good on NATO.
Congrats Hoppy

[hoppyjr]

Thanks. I've always liked the EZM1 but don't do chronos, so this got me 80% of the look for 35% the price.

OK I'll say it - I think it looks a bit small on you :ducking: But you could easily pull off a VAT

[Joeprez]

OK I'll say it - I think it looks a bit small on you :ducking:

Yep, get a U1 again

Yup

Ed that looks comfy as a mofo - size be damned. I wear from 34 to 48 there is room in the collection for all sizes. That is the Honey Badger of watches - small, but badass.

48 = Invicta LE?

[r.palace]

Looks just a bit smaller that what I would wear and I'm sure smaller than what you're used to but there's room in the collection for that. With the Nato it looks like a damn fine comfortable and casual combo

[hoppyjr]

Since I'm a fickle bastard, if any y'all are interested send me a PM. One never knows how long these last at Casa de Hoppy

[AntonioPD]

Man, you are on a roll Hop! Congrats!

Almost. Lol

Debaufre NavB - my mistake, I think it's a mere 47.
