A Legend returns. Sinn EZM 1.1
I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on this. I like the fact it's not a Lemania 5100 as the parts are getting rarer and rarer.
If it's not a Lemania, what is it?
Can you add a paragraph and explain the difference with this new one?
And please give credit for the photo's source.

It's a 7750 mate
I've ordered one 
because why not! It's a cool, tough watch. It will be great for timing my coffee brewing :P

I've done the same only 500 units I figure if I don't like it (extremely unlikely) I can sell it for more than I paid for it. [nt]

Yes perhaps, or at least keep it for a while and get back what you paid.
I think this will be a hard to dislike watch, if you have an active life then there will be moments where it will be very useful!

More information about the movement from Worn and Wound:
They’ve rather made a new version, the 1.1, that has some intriguing features and slight changes to the case. First, Lemania 5100 movements aren’t available, so Sinn used their in-house modified Valjoux 7750, the SZ01, to get the same features. This isn’t just a look alike—it does have the essential central 60-minute counter. On Sinn’s version, the minute hand actually jumps at the end of the minute as well, which is a slight legibility improvement over the 5100.
From Hodinkee:
The movement powering the EZM 1.1 Mission Timer is the SZ01, which is a modified Valjoux 7750 that has a 60-minute stop function that sits on the watch’s central axis, allowing at-a-glance reading of the entire elapsed mission time—both minutes and seconds. the movement runs in 28 jewels, is anti-magnetic and shock resistant to DIN standards, and has a 42-hour power reserve.
=============================
My comments: What makes the watch special is they reworked the valjoux 7750 into a central seconds chronograph to replace the discontinued Lemania 5100. It is more precise than the 5100 because as the second hand reaches 60 seconds the minute hand jumps to the next minute marker where the 5100, the minute hand would move continuously until at 60 seconds it would be pointing at the next minute. This watch is the first EXM with the reworked valjoux movement.
Hmm, don't know....
What I thought when seeing this was: "Seems to go downhill for Sinn aswell, when they're already starting to make this." Not going to buy it.
Once having seen it, immediately pulled the trigger. Hope to receive mine in 2weeks [nt]

It was always going to be an inevitable re-issue....
I had the original in Ti. The 'lefty' config buttons were comfy. It was a great timekeeper and I love centre minute chronographs. It developed the usual recalcitrant reset issue of which the 5100 is legend for without a lot of grease, but is less of an issue than most make out, just annoying. It was a bit of a tuna can in fit and look because of the depth required for a 4 hand stack. Sinn were, I think, the first to adapt a 7750 to replace the centre minute config (SZ01) lost when the Lemania became unavailable. Yes, it's a 'shame' that this watch is based on the perfunctory 7750, but not all these are created or regulated equally by manufacturers and these Sinns are beautifully made and set up. I have also found their service dept exemplary. But the price today........ ughhhh.

No way, that I would ever buy this . I would rather buy a preowned older one with the 5100 [nt]

I like Sinn
But almost fainted when I saw the price!
I think in that range for a similar look, I'd much rather the MIH watch.

I'll reply to myself!!
Ok maybe they aren't too similar but it's the first thing that popped into my head.
