Sinn EZM9 TESTAF Watch
For 2014, German tool watch maker Sinn has released a new piece in its EZM collection called the Sinn EZM9 TESTAF. What you have here is an interesting watch that is meant for pilots, but really wants to be a dive watch. Essentially, the Sinn EZM9 is a three-hand version of the 2012 EZM10 (hands-on here).We loved the EZM10 and our appreciation extends to the EZM9, even though it is among the pricier three-hand Sinn timepieces out there. As part of the EZM "Einsatzzeitmesser" collection, this Sinn is built to last and perform just that much better than others. Having said that, this model doesn't have Sinn's Diapal technology (discussed here), like the EZM10 - which is a lubricant-free part of the movement. Then again, no three-hand Sinn watches have Diapal as of yet, so it isn't that big of a deal. Nevertheless, there are some really impressive features in the Sinn EZM9. Inside the watch is a Swiss Sellita SW200 automatic movement (which is more or less the same as an ETA 2824).The 44m

We mentioned before that Panerai was once the provider of nautical various instruments
We love a good Edition limited here to Hodinkee, and we are also probably a little too tolerant accessories priced incredibly male. We also love a good story, and part of today all of this together. We mentioned before that Panerai was once the provider of nautical various instruments and watches military around the world.

AP and the new Entourage movie, one in every scene !
Saw the new Entourage movie this weekend. The AP marketing department must have been working overtime on this one because EVERY character of note in the film is wearing an AP. Some even switch pieces throughout the movie. You can get a nice overview of the entire RO and ROO lineup in all metals if one was to watch the movie. I easily spotted 10 different models.It made watching a little more interesting.

Patek mind games: separating the money from the watch
I've been collecting watches for about ten years. I've had over 100 watches of almost every brand, from Anonimo and Marathon to Doxa and Panerai. I always come back to Rolex. For a long time, my dream watch was a 5512 and I've been wearing one now for about 6 months. But lately, I became spellbound by the 5711. I've never owned a watch anywhere near as expensive as the 5711.I'm in a position to buy one if I could find one secondhand or get on a wait list. But I'm having kind of a watch crisis. Being able to spend $30K on a watch has been messing with my mind a lot. Now I look at, say, a 16610 - a watch I dreamed of for twenty years that I've now owned in multiple incarnations - and it seems rather diminutive. Why? I keep thinking, A 5711 is like wearing 6 16610s. I feel like the money is really blurring the line between ego and appreciation. It's like being able to afford one has the potential of turning me into an instant watch snob. I'm worried about how my thoughts have transitioned
