I just got my new EZM3F directly from Sinn Frankfurt and really like it....
I like that it is all bead blasted, small, no nonsense dial, simple hands, accurate solid movement with special lube, Ar filling, magnetic resistance and the fact that I could wear it everywhere without feeling like a tw**.
There are a couple of things I dont like...the outer A/R scratches REALLY easily. already have a lot of micro scratches on the outer layer. I also dont like the fact that the middle end link does NOT pivot on the spring bar. I find this really adds comfort on my small wrist.
So I went one better and ordered hollow end links for an EZM3 from Sinn. A problem though. The 'Massiv' bracelet does not fit them. How do you go around this? Can I buy a standard bracelet from Sinn?
Photos below unashamedly 'borrowed' to highlight my point...
My bracelet looks like this...
How I want my bracelet to look like...
My bracelet is like the one on the right...
I've read about easily scratched AR on Sinn watches but my U1 has been worn virtually daily for a year and doesn't have a mark - very odd
Ditto my Sinn U1. Worn daily. Worn for gardening, cycling and mechanical stuff.... No marks. Do you live in a hard water area? Could they be reside from hard water on the crystal?
I have the massivarmband for my EZM1, I think it is very comfy (and all the better for the solid endlinks). Slightly skinnier springbars can give a little play in the link.
An awful lot of Sinn's used to be bought with the outer AR removed (to avoid the AR damage and otherwise oily appearance). Others have successfully removed the outer AR, I think toothpaste was used, but you'd better check that before you go ahead.

Nice watch!! How do you purchase from Sinn Frankfurt directly? You contacted the boutique?
I think the 144 comes with internal AR only, this might be the case with others.
Out of interest what is your wrist size? I'm considering a Sinn on a bracelet but I usually have trouble with bracelet sizing, probably more down to wrist shape though.
Sorry about the niggles, but nice watch.

Great watch and very comfortable on the bracelet.
Sinn do not have any Sales Partners (dealers) in Malta and so it's direct sales only...according to their website: link.
Perhaps try the fit and lesser weight of the Sinn strap (in black)?
Are they? You might save around £100 by buying from www.classic-watch.de, but you'll need to add on €50 for shipping.
The ill fitting bracelet has always been the reason stopping me buying an EZM3.
The EZM1 I could make an exception for.
Sorry to butt in to the thread but does anyone know if any of the current bracelets will fit the EZM2's?
Thanks
As regards the OP's bracelet problem; might he want the 556 bracelet (see link). Can anyone confirm that's a solid end link pictured in the link, please?
I ask as there are these two bracelets on offer from P&C, both of which say they have SELs: bead blasted and satin. Only one of those mentions the 556, but it also mentions the 356 F and so, presumably, differs only in finish from the other that mentions the standard 356. If both fit the 356 (and 556) either should fit the EZM 3 that also gets a mention. Before committing, I'd ask P&C
