Sinn EZM4 Achilles Watch For The Medical Professional Or Doctor
When I didn't include doctors in a list of professionals that tend to be watch lovers I got a bit of slack. In response, I will discuss a watch that will appeal to watch loving doctors as it is especially made for them. While there are a good deal of nice and fancy watches out there that a doctor can adorn on their rounds, here is a more tool-like approach to wrist wear.You'll first have to understand that Sinn EZM watches represent a line of hardcore durable and functional watches. Made for extreme conditions by extreme professionals, these watches represent a pinnacle of the ruggedness a mechanical watch can present. The Sinn EZM4 "Achilles" was designed for doctors, paramedics, and firefighters who would need a well performing watch in conditions that might otherwise destroy or inhibit the function of "other watches." Even if you are a doctor that works in a relatively excitement-free zone, you can still communicate to your patients that you are ready for front-line medic duty shoul

The Maratac Pilot
It is very difficult for a pilot watch to stand out amongst its peers. It seems like every company that pops up, big and small, makes one. Many are very nice and many are very generic, but few jump out and say to you "make me a part of your collection". The Maratac Pilot is one of these few watches. check out our full review of the large model (seen in this post) here and the 39mm mid sized here?At first glance, it might not seem that different: a big steel case, big bold lumed index and a small seconds dial at 6�� This scene has obviously been played out before. The differences that make the Maratac unique are subtler. The index around the small seconds dial has a distinct layout and the font used on the main index is a little squarer than most. The off-axis "onion" screw-down crown is large and nestles against the lug in an interesting manner. The minute and hour hands are simple, sharp, tapering triangles that seem to float in the middle of the watch. The black face has no logo and n

Strolled into the AD to window shop....
And left with this! I was not planning on buying anything but it was such a lucky and rare find, I decided to pull the trigger. It killed my watch budget for the year but it should pair nicely with my hulk. I am so excited! https://instagram/p/BdF6ug3HMX2/

Opinions Please: YM 116622 Dark Rhodium or GMT 116710BLNR
Hey everyone...first post here and part-time lurker, lol.I'm looking to purchase my first (and possibly only) Rolex and THOUGHT that I was set on the YM 116622 Dark Rhodium with the blue sweeping hand. However, the BLNR has now gotten my attention since they're both relatively close in price in the pre-owned market.I've seen posts comparing the YM Blue Dial to the BLNR, but I couldn't seem to find any posts comparing the YM Dark Rhodium Dial to the BLNR.In trying to think (and type) outloud, I've developed a short comparison between the watches and/or also what stands out to me about each watch.PROS for the YM Dark Rhodium- I like the thicker bezel and its trendy look. - The YM Dark Rhodium caught my eye because of the blue sweeping hand and the dark rhodium. It seemed to just pop out to the eye and looks awesome.- This YM is unique in that I don't think I've ever seen anyone wear this compared to me seeing more GMT's out there (even though they're mostly the BLRO Pepsi).- I like th
