Sinn EZM 10 Watch
This will be German Sinn's new flagship rough activity watch, and the tenth watch to bear the EZM title. I quite love this watch and further find it interesting that it is quite retro in design in comparison to where the EZM series was going. Though not like 1950's retro - which is a darn good thing. Nevertheless, the piece contains some great modern technology and will make Sinn fans and newbies to the brand alike want one."EZM" stands for "Einsatzzeitmesser" which means "mission timer." These are among Sinn's more serious pieces and have been delighting both collectors and the people that really need them for years. The release of a new EZM watch is always cause for pause. As of writing this article, the Sinn EZM 10 is still in "pre-official announcement mode." I will update this article with more details and images as they become available - so sorry for the fuzzy looking scan.The look and design of this watch feels like something out of the Lemania 5100 movement days. Even the move

My new grail
I almost pulled the trigger on the Speedway DD but got this instead.

New Purchase Planet Ocean
Just bought my first Omega - was torn between 2 but went for the Planet Ocean in the end - smaller size (41mm I think!) after much deliberation. Very pleased with her! I have a question regarding the Helium Value - does this always have to be screwed tight? If not 100% tight will it let in water? I was told the Rolex Sub is Water Resistent to 50 metres with the crown virtually pulled out! and 300 metres with it screwed tight.I didnt know whether Omega had the same type of sealing system, on Rolex its the triple lock I think its called.The workmanship on the Planet Ocean watch is fantastic, I have always previously owned Rolexes and found them to be excellent but when I look on various forums the Omegas and the Rolexes are 'marked' very closely - as though the quality is very close, yet the price of similar purpose Rolexes is almost twice as much as Omega prices, comparisons such as e.g Seamaster v Submariner or Planet Ocean v Sea Dweller.Are Omegas similar quality/workmanship yet 1/2 t

Positive experience with Rolex Service.
I just came back from picking up my Z-series SD from service at Gassan in Amsterdam.I know that they are not technically a RSC but rather an authorised service center, so I was prepared to get just the watch back in a plastic ziplock bag as it has happened years ago. This perspective was a bit annoying because the service costs are fully in line with RSC prices. i.e. hardly cheap !But I was pleasantly surprised to get the full package: the watch in the green Rolex service pouch, the service booklet and the service 2-year warranty card printed with the watch info and service date. Another interesting surprise was that I got back the old bezel insert, as I agreed to have it replaced during the service. I was under the impression that Rolex never returned replaced parts¡­I was wearing my ¡¯91 GMTII coke and asked if it was possible to get the insert replaced to Pepsi and still get the original coke insert back. The answer was ¡°yes¡±, and the cost was a very reasonable 75 euros. They agreed t
