Beautiful Reverso. I’m a yuge JLC fan!
I was all hot to trot to order a Sinn U-50 before the price increase, but I decided to wait until they offer a blue dial variant. A bargain is only good when it’s what you want.

I realize this is an old post and you said you’d wait for a blue U50, but I just caught up on this thread. I was gifted a U50 about a year ago and absolutely love it. I wear it more than anything else. I’m also a Seiko Monster fan and happen to have posted some side-by-side pictures for relative size info upthread: https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....=1#post1110958. I always wanted a U1, but didn’t feel comfortable with the size on my 7” wrist. A Monster is the upper limit of what I enjoy wearing. The U50 is the perfect size for an all-around watch.
If I were spending my own money, I’d opt for the tegimented model. That said, my non-tegimented version is in great shape after a year of almost daily wear. The clasp is the only part that gives it away as a well-loved watch, and I’m not mad about the character the scratched clasp gives.
Thank you! Your photos were one of the main reasons I decided to concentrate the search on a U-50. I’m sure Sinn will do blue dials at some point. I’m leaning hard to a tegimented version.I realize this is an old post and you said you’d wait for a blue U50, but I just caught up on this thread.

I’m afraid to think too much about it or I’ll talk myself into a black dial…

If the modern submariner isn’t the worlds most well rounded and useable wrist watch - then the manual wind speedmaster is…..Scored some ammo on Speedy Tuesday

This is my first automatic. My wife gave it to me for my 40th birthday last year. Keeps great time - about 1 second fast per day.

Picked up a new Seiko, an SRPG13, aka "The Land Tortoise." I'm really liking it; it's a bit smaller, lighter, and thinner than the "Turtle" series of dive watches that share a similar case design.
Another Pacific crossing with the Tudor GMT. Nine months in and no problems with the watch. My only changes would be a ceramic bezel with more positive clicks. That’s an improvement that Tudor should make.
I have the same watch, but I stopped flying with it. The Garmin seemed more appropriate and I care less about it.

I think the bezel adds a good vintage feel.
