After 3 month with my EZM-1

All I can tell you is that it is great and that I wear it everyday. I also take great care of it despite the fact that it is made for extreme conditions!

However, I have encountered several issues with it.
First, i had many difficulties to adjust the bracelet to my wrist : a friend of mine that also has an EZM-1 (LE) tried to remove a link on the bracelet with the right screwdriver (that he used for his own EZM-1). But one of the screw was stuck and we didn't managed to get it out! I had to go to a watchmaker who succeeded (I still don't know how!) to remove the screw.
There is also the fact that the hands of the chronograph don't always come back at 12' when you push the reset pusher. Actually it seems characteristic of  the Lemania 5100, and you just have to push it again to get it right. nothing big in definitive. . .

But I experienced something more worrying : After a few weeks wearing it, it suddenly stopped! I tried to shack it, to wind it manually, but nothing happened. the pusher weren't blocked. the watch just stopped without any reasons!
I contacted Sinn office for the repair under warranty and they were very fast answering my questions. They repaired the watch and sent it back to me. Since then everything works fine again. but I don't really know what happened. Sinn's papers indicate that they cleaned the movement and check the accuracy and the water resistance... but nothing really specific. They also changed 2 microscopic (really, if you put them side by side, their wide is smaller than 1mm!) pieces of the movement.
A real mystery for me. .  .

Chronology :
  • I bought the watch mid August 2009
  • I picked it up at London on August 19th 2009
  • I set the bracelet on August 27th 2009
  • The watch stopped on September 28th 2009
  • I sent the watch to Frankfurt on October 12th 2009
  • I received it back on December 23rd 2009
  • I wear it everyday since then!
