Niiiice.

I had the chronograph in that colour and regret selling it frown
Thank you! I do like the way it catches the light.

Bit of a different vibe this morning:

Regarding the El Primero vs. Daytona discussion, have another strong contender for best chronograph.
clap Sold my Speedy last year ... l loved the watch but it didn't quite feel right in terms of comfort on my wrist for some reason. I tried the Speedy racing on at the weekend at Zurich Airport and it felt very different ... it was on the steel bracelet which is 21mm vs 20mm on the Moonwatch and has the glass back ... its 15mm thick so this is possibly why it felt so differerent so its in the running.

This one holds its own against some of my more costly watches.

Very comfy on the crafter blue the bracelet end link integration on this watch always grated me a little......it'll probably never go back onto the stock bracelet.
My Blumo (JDM model) was a real favourite too. I also wore it on a Crafter Blue strap, which I agree suited it much better than the bracelet.

Sadly it was stolen when thieves broke in for my car keys. It was on my dresser with the key - the watch was a nice to have as they even left my wife’s jewellery beside it.

The GS diver I now have is a sort of replacement in that it has a similar comfort from the curved case shape, though obviously a higher end watch and unlikely to become my go to travel watch in the way the Sumo was.

I’ll enjoy yours vicariously..!

After receiving my new purchase yesterday which the previous user had on a fabric strap, I fitted the steel bracelet. Much prefer it like this.

NWA for me - v different to anything else in my collection (closest would be a Panerai).

Loving it so far. The super fast switch for the straps is good fun too -

‘Sinn’ in german means ‘sense’ or ‘meaning’ wink

I live in Orange County, California so lucky a shoddy old Explorer 2 is often the least valuable watch you'll see walking around hehe

Lovely watch. So much nicer than the newer co-axials.
