In addition to the Sinn watches posted above (all excellent) the U50 professional moves the crown to the left side of the case at 10:30 I believe. FWIW I also wear on my right wrist and prefer the crown on the 3 o’clock side so it doesn’t interfere with wrist movement.

commented on Windup in Europe? ·

I’m not too involved with Windup planning, but I know that Europe has been (is?) discussed. I think there’s some logistical challenges beyond what we deal with domestically but I’d love to make it work and hope it does at some point.

Thanks for the tag @Edge168n!

We happen to have a couple of @stijn_b 's watches in house at this very moment! Can't wait share our thoughts on them soon.

@stijn_b I'll shoot you an email right now and put you in touch with the right people on my end ;)

Great advice at the end, all topics I've done my best to expand on to other enthusiasts. Well put!

commented on buettner's WRUW ·

It's on loan from Norqain for a review we'll be doing on the watch. I've had it a couple weeks but am just getting around to spending some proper time with it. 

commented on New Baltic: You were right. ·

Beers on me if it happens!

Anyone else have a soft spot for wild/unusual/funky cases and dials?

I feel like they balance out the more function-first tool watches that I usually enjoy, and remind me to not take the hobby too seriously. Anyone else...

The New Doxa Army On Wrist

Pretty slick watch in person. The case is indeed quite thin, just under 12mm, and is made of ceramic so it's quite light.  Interestingly, the actual S...
