Not here recently, but I did a review of it on the CW forum.

Since then, Joe (Variomatic) has serviced it and removed the mark from the face by the 2.

Here's an 'after' photo

bit reserved for me, but no doubt a very expensive piece!

Just lovely! I really do have a soft spot for Tudor and that's a beauty.
Have got my 16700 GMT Master on today but I'm going to swap it over for my Pelagos now.

Your hand is on the wrong end of your arm, according to the crown and pushers.

Well I've been - falsely, I might add biggrin - accused of not knowing my arse from my elbow in the past however I'm quite sure there's nout' wrong with my arm wink

As said, it's a destro. The idea behind it is to prevent discomfort and potential accidental operation of pushers when flexing the wrist as well as to prevent the snagging of anything else worn on the wrist or hand. Most "Einsatzzeitmesser" (mission timer) Sinns - those with a model name prefixed with EZM - have crowns and pushers on the left and of the others most have their crowns in the 4.30pm position for the same reason. They've been designed with function as a priority and, as such, have been used by armed forces.

I like that EZM13. On the Sinn site the dial looks a little fussy but in your photos I can see it's not at all. Really good looking watch.

Yes mate. Had to lose my Planet Ocean (2500c) which was a bit of a wrench but I do really like the GO. It could be "the one".

Just needs you to spend the money on its superb bracelet, and you’re all set.
Exchanging a PO for that was a complete no-brainer – especially as it’s been discontinued for 2-2.5 years.
Give it a few years, and I would expect these to be keeping or increasing their value.

Love that! I'm a huge fan of old digital watches. (Presumably it's genuinely old, rather than a modern reproduction?)

Hopefully I won't lose on it at least. I'll keep my eye out for the bracelet but it will have to be used. I believe they are hideously expensive new.
