Sinn EZM 3f - on bead-blasted, H-link bracelet made just for this watch model. This is an all-business, Teutonic bad@ss of a watch, a real go anywhere / do anything piece if there ever was one.
I picked up this Sinn EZM 3f from a solid seller on
r/Watchexchange just before Christmas, and then immediately purchased a new Sinn bead-blasted H-Link bracelet for it at $300 from Watchbuys. The EZM 3f looks great on the Erika's Original MN strap (black w red center stripe) that I originally paired it with, but the Sinn bracelet made specifically for this watch just takes it to a whole new level. Bracelet is sized for my 7.25" wrist, but all the extra links (screw-in) and Sinn micro-allen wrench are included.

The condition of the watch is very good, with only very light scratches on the case back and one on the lug top. Lug backsides, particularly one of 'em, have some scratches from strap changes. The bracelet has picked up some light scuffs on the clasp, but it is otherwise in like-new condition. Lume is great, and the bezel action is excellent. I had read reviews that raved about this watch, but nitpicked a bit that the bezel action was a little loose: however, I found the action to be very precise.
Note: after a sharp-eyed poster on r/Watchexchange noticed what I thought were dust specks or odd reflections, and it turned out on closer inspection that the AR coating on the top of the crystal was scuffed and scratched in a few places. Jeez, I wish that Sinn would only put the AR coating on the bottom of the crystal, instead of the top and bottom. Apparently I'm not alone in this, but hey....I guess Sinn thinks that legibility is of paramount concern. Whatever.
So, on Saturday - 2/8/20, I carefully followed the instructions from this website link - https://www.60clicks.com/how-to-remove-ar-coating-from-outer-crystal/ exactly as written and used a Dremel on low speed with felt polishing attachment and Polywatch to remove the AR coating on the outer crystal. Taped off the bezel with a circular cut-out hole and everything. I think it turned out pretty good, except....full disclosure, after everything was done, I noticed a dust-speck size mark that just wouldn't go away. Upon closer inspection, I'm almost positive that this pin-prick mark just above the 27 - 28 minute mark is actually on the dial, not the crystal. This seems to be confirmed when I watch the second hand sweep over it. Anyway, with all this, I decided to reduce my original asking price and throw in an excellent Erika's Original MN strap of your choice along with the reduced price.
What’s Included | inner box, outer box, warranty card (warranty good through Dec 2020), and Sinn bead-blasted H-link bracelet. I also have three Erika's Original MN straps (black w red center stripe, green w red center stripe, or Sahara, which is kind of tan w white center stripe).
I will throw in one free Erika's Original MN Strap of your choice with purchase of the watch, and I can also add one or two of the others at discounted prices.
