However I can see the EMZ3 getting discountinued soon, if you look at Sinns diver line up it sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the largely U based range so perhaps there will not be many more opertunites to buy it.
Ah, I had forgotten the EZM's a bit different from the Sinn norm.

I do think every watch enthusiast should have a Sinn. But I also they they should have a Tudor and a SMP or Seamaster, so I'm not being much help, am I?

:lol:

Tudor, to me, is the greatest all rounder for sure, it might well be too big for you though, which will never change...

These 3 watches are great, but the Tudor is the best for me (I sold my sub to buy it 8) ). Dont forget its incredible buckle...

I would have a very hard time trying to choose between the three. I think that (for me) it would come down to trying the watches on to see how they fit my wrist. Too bad you can't test drive a watch like you do a car.

The SMP every time for me.

I have looked at the Sinn and gone back to it again and again. The dial is just too plain and would eventually grate on me.

The Tudor would be a great watch if it didn't wear so large (as mentioned by just about every review).

The Omega SMP is a design classic, and can be worn with everything (as Mr Bond showed us). Finding alternative straps to the bracelet may be a challenge, but a fun one!

Go Omega is my opinion. :thumbup:

I think you'll get bored of the EZM quite easily, I would go for this instead

The Sinn would be my choice of the three. Most interesting face.

I'm guessing that you're not exactly close to Blackburn but Iconic Watches are showing as having a Pelagos in their shop if you're determined to try one on:

I assume that you've already discounted the Ball Skindiver?

Yep, a really nice watch but just not quite right in this instance. probably looking to get the Omega at iconic but as for trying it it's pretty far away and I'd rather go to France :lol:

Very good answer, however my heart is sort of saying sinn but my head says omega. One now one later maybe lol?

I'd go Omega. The only downside, perhaps, is that they're common - if you consider that a downside.

Alternatively I might consider a vintage Tudor sub (did they do a full-size blue faced version? I'm not sure).

Of the 3 i would say Omega, but i have/prefer the older style SMP or wait until the Cull and go for your prefered 40mm & a used Submariner if i can add it to your list. :thumbup:

Not much help really. :lol:
