Sinn EZM 10 Review
The world of pilot's watches is a crowded one, with seemingly a new model, line or brand dedicated to the style coming out every day. But not all are created equal, and not all are made to truly be worn by pilots. Naturally, most of us are not pilots, myself included, and don't need something that is truly to spec, but often the same technologies and details that make them fit to fly also just make them long-lasting, tough-as-nails tool watches with bold and aggressive designs. Of the few brands that offer something truly meant for the cockpit, Sinn's watches go the furthest, offering the most cutting-edge tech as well as TESTAF certification, authenticating their credibility.We've looked at many a Sinn before on w&w, from the classically styled pilot's chronos 103 and 356 to the clean and purposeful 556i and 240 to the mission-ready EZM 13 diver's chronograph, all of which offer a great value for their build quality, style and functionality. Today, we're going to take a look at a

Some technical quetions about Rolex
Hi,I got an Air-King (2008) not long ago. After a while I did realize Rolex is THE brand and consequently I am looking forward buying my next Rolex which will be probably the watch I am going to use everyday until I can hand it oven to my son (when I got one )Since AK is a sort of entry-level, I got some questions regarding more advanced Oysters:1. Is it true that the date dial (the small window located @ 3:00) can move in both directions clock-wise and anti clock-wise while winding?2. Why Oysters (excluding the Submariner) have only 100m water-proof protection? It was a big thing back in 1920's, but now I've seen a lot of brads offering >200mts water protection standard.3. Is it true that service is needed every 7 years?4. Once a full service is done, is the watch still considered as a COSC certified?Cheers,Solar_c75

No chronometer for Tag Heuer?
Hey guys...I've notived that most Tag's do not have the word ''chronometer'' on them...Why is that???Omega and Rolex have this word on the watch's dial...Tag wasnt approved to use this word for its movements?

So, finally, I'm in the waitlist for a Hulk..
Today, after 5 years collecting watches, more than 20 pieces of different brands and 3 different Rolex watches, I've finally putted myself in the waitlist for my grail: Rolex Submariner 116610LV, The hulk!I have to say that I'm quite excited, even when this same happened to me since I've bought my first luxury piece, an Omega SMPc, or when I've got my first submariner, the iconic 16610. But this time feels different, I'm going for my grail, the first one I saw back in 2012 and became my dream watch. The truth is, last year, I've found myself with more watches that I had the chance to wear, so decided to consolidate my collection in no more than 5 pieces plus a G shock, and that's exactly what I did. I currently have a Rolex GMTc LN, a Rolex Explorer I mk2, an Omega SMPc, Omega Speedy FOIS and a Breitling Navitimer A23322 blue dial, all pieces that I love and wear quite often but someting was missing, specially around my GMT which has been sat in the box since I acquired the explorer, a
