A little bulky for sure, but because they are so light and can be worn very snug due to the strap material I don’t notice the bulk so much.

The Flymagic is an interesting derivative. Which version do you have? You should post it when you have time, I’d bet it may be the only one (or at least in very limited company) here.

The Sistem 51 - An Important Watch of the Last Decade
By: Jay (Eire) : February 10th, 2020-10:09
Since it’s introduction in 2013 the Sistem 51 has been a watch (or collection) that captured my attention. I cajoled a friend at the time to mule one from Switzerland as they were not yet available elsewhere (that’s the white one you see below). Most of y...
You are a good friend.

I have a few of the Big Bold also, they are as the name suggests BIG. The Jellyfish is a cool look.

I can’t get into it. It was an impulse buy and made me resolute not to buy from HODINKEE ever again. By the way, why do you keep the screen plastic on?

I have all three of the hodinkee editions, as well as the "cream" which was one of the earlier models. I also have the flymagic from last year, which uses a modified and reversed sistem51 movement. I have to admit that I wear them rarely because they're a...
Definitely! I have the rose gold (plated) flymagic.

I’ve always thought about shooting it properly but never got around to it. It’s actually quite a visually interesting watch (albeit completely unwearable for me, as it’s a large 45mm).
I was my own mule...

Oh, yes, I wear it multiple times a week..

It’s my standard workout watch. I must have a thousand running miles on it this year, and it has been bathed in sweat dozens of times. Once I learned that the stem turns backwards to wind it, it has worked fine. And, yes, a mechanical watch is much better...
