Horological Meandering

I met a group of watch enthusiasts last night and was able to handle a FXD. It dawned on me that the Tudor and my EZM1 are both watches with passionate followings, military provenance, titanium, and reverse bezel numbering. The EZM was a darling decades a...  

Sinn was one of the alternatives I looked at before I made Omega my go to brand. Their technology (especially the cases and dials) is cutting edge and I prefer their aesthetic. Also, SINN stands alone as I have always felt that Tudor stands along side of ... 

For my money it’s the FXD … ...  

For me it is the FXD, which I am still sadly waiting on that call.

I'm fortunate to be in the position where I don't have to choose. But, to be totally honest: I like wearing the Tudor more. ...

One interesting feature of the EZM1.1 that I might prefer of the Lemania 5100, is the instant switching of the chrono minute counter. I believe that may be even more legible than the gradual sweeping minute counter of my EZM1. I think yours looks great on... 

Works well because it highlights the nice facets of the lugs and like the olive color…. As you know, the OEM rubber is integrated with no gaps. Maybe I would like the OEM more if it was an olive color and had no branding? The instant switching of the coun...
