Dear purists 

Several of us incorporate different parts of our collection to different days of the week and different activities, with weekend activities/duties being an important part of our week 

My weekend duties include activities with my two young boys. Scooting, biking, swimming, building lego sets etc etc 

…and for that, nothing but the scratch-proof bomb-proof mariana-trench-ready Sinn U50S fits the bill.

What’s your weekend activities/duties watch?

500M WR is clearly overkill for this splash park




The deep abyss of this black dial (with the addition of the copious anti-reflective coating of the crystal) reminds me of the aforementioned Mariana Trench 🤣😜




See all the anti-black-polishing and lug-dinging equipment and personnel that are part of my weekend?

Sinn. I just saw it in boutique. That is a nice watch. They used to give steep less but now not so. Nonetheless, that is still a great watch. And the young man is handsome! Should attract lots of gal next time when he grow older!

Great question. I usually go for my Grey Side of the Moon - ceramic on nylon strap. Wishing everyone a great weekend! Cheers, Jérôme Green nato Omega strap

My regional retailer gave me a nominal discount, just to appease me. I got it when they had a 13 week wait period. They seem to be more readily-available from the manufacturer now, and if you live outside of the EU, you can save the VAT. And thanks for the comment (and future warning about the young man). He didn’t get his good looks from me, I’ll tell you that much 😉🤣
