Tutima and Sinn: Why Diameter Shouldn't Limit Your Watch Collection

Key Points from the Discussion

• The author emphasizes that case shape and lug-to-lug measurements are more critical than diameter alone in determining how a watch wears on the wrist, illustrating this with examples from his own collection ranging from 36mm to 45mm.
• One collector notes a personal 'absolute' limit of 43mm for watch diameter, finding larger watches less enjoyable, despite appreciating the craftsmanship of brands that produce bigger pieces to accommodate complex movements.
• The author clarifies that his black Sinn EZM 1.1 was a long-desired acquisition, not competing with other pieces, and that some watches, particularly tool watches, benefit from a slightly thicker profile to enhance their 'vibe' and functionality.
• A fellow collector expresses interest in the black EZM 1.1, inquiring about its limited edition status, and mentions considering adding an EZM3 or early EZM2 Hydro to their collection.
• Another forum member proudly shares an image of an older version of the Sinn EZM 1.1, highlighting its Luminova dial and the noticeable lightness of its titanium construction.
• A collector shares his experience of owning watches ranging from 35.5mm to larger sizes, reinforcing the idea that personal preference for diameter can vary widely within a single collection.
