Re: What's on your wrist today
It looks like you wear your straps pretty tight! Always one of those things that has kept me from wearing a watch regularly — tight so it doesn’t flop around, or just a bit less for comfort but then the watch moves around (always towards the outside of my wrist) making it a little less comfortable. My new strap is a wee bit tight to affect the former. Since I will probably only wear as jewelry (not for every day) it seems OK on the snug side.
How do others wear ‘em… loose or snug?

Re: What's on your wrist today
Bob I typically wear my watches a little snug but with winter weight gain now a little too snug. I hate a floppy watch that rotates the face around my wrist. Thanks for the comment.

Re: What's on your wrist today
Today I'm wearing the best mechanical watch I've ever used and the best watch I've ever owned, my Sinn EZM 3. This dive watch has an inert gas atmosphere to keep the internal atmosphere dry and free from moisture, and to keep it from fogging up in cold water on dives. It also has a copper sulfate capsule also used to absorb any water molecules that may gain ingress to the interior of the case. 500M depth rating.
Designed for the German GSG 9 Special Forces Dive Unit. Those guys know how to "operate".
This bad boy runs to +1 sec/day, regardless how often I wear it, well within COSC specification.
I've coined a tagline for Sinn....

Re: What's on your wrist today
Sinn has got it...goin' on. For example, this EZM, the EZM12 that was designed for medical rescue team professionals. The 4-bladed rotor lets them quickly get an accurate pulse on the patient being rescued.
From Sinn:
The Sinn EZM 12 is designed for medical professionals, particularly those involved in emergency medicine.
This watch takes it place among Sinn's EZM Mission Timer Watches (Einsatzzeitmesser) which are designed for the German Special Forces, including SWAT, Customs, FBI, helicopter police, GSG9 and other elite units.
If you've traveled in Germany you know about the autobahn, which in many parts of the country allows for unlimited speed. Although this unlimited speed is an adrenaline rush, it can unfortunately lead to very serious accidents.
German Air Rescue Team
To create this watch, Sinn collaborated with the German Air Rescue Team, which maintains a presence throughout the country. This elite team flies helicopters staffed with doctors and medics who are on 24 hour standby for car accidents.
Sinn just doesn't...f**k around.

Re: What's on your wrist today
It's called a "destro crown". The crown is on the left side of the case so it does not interfere with movement of the diver's wrist. Sinn uses this design on some of of their dive watches as the crown can get the way of your wrist movement when when wearing a wet suit and/or dive gloves. BTW, real divers don't use bracelets any more, they all use rubber straps.
Shown here is the new Sinn EZM 13.1 on a rubber dive strap, released just the other day. 500M depth resistance, 60 min chronograph function, and pushers can be actuated...under water (f**kin' Sinn, I tell ya what...). Note the the running seconds is at 3 O'clock and the indices are in gray, so that the running seconds don't compete or distract your attention with the chronograph subdial when you don't want to track the running seconds.
BTW, this watch also has an inert gas atmosphere inside the hermetically-sealed case to keep the interior of the case dry (as in the chemistry definition of "dry", i.e. free from water molecules). It also has a replaceable copper sulfate capsule in the case, so that in the rare event water molecules do gain ingress to the case, they are absorbed by the copper sulfate, and the interior stays dry. This prevents fogging up of the dial when diving in cold water, and also contributes significantly to the reliability and durability of the watch, as it's water molecules that get into the watch case that causes lubricants to break down and...causes wear on the movement parts.
Frickin' Sinn...no one else thinks these details through in the way these guys do...

Re: What's on your wrist today
Yeah, Jason Lim is super-talented with respect to design. And, he sources high-grade parts and assembles the pieces carefully. They are an incredible value for money.
Here's the Halios Seaforth II I have in Signal Orange. It's the answer to the question Jason had, "what would Doxa do?" (Jason was a big fan of the legendary Doxa Sub 300).

Re: What's on your wrist today
There really is no need to buy a Rolex unless you want the prestige and status symbol of owning one. Don’t get me wrong Rolex builds an amazing watch but with the homage watches of today that give you amazing build and reliability at a fraction of the cost. I will wear these doing anything and not worry about scratches. Rolex prices have increased so much I hate to wear mine in fear it will depreciate the value. I need to sell all my prestige watches and go visit Mike, much more enjoyment for me in audio now.

Re: What's on your wrist today
I agree. Plus, Rolexes are no better a watch mechanically than many other brands, and as I mentioned the other day, doesn't have some of the technology that Sinn has, for example. Or Grand Seiko, for that matter (GS' Spring Drive movement is pretty amazing).
Plus, good luck buying one at retail. There is NO inventory at ADs.
