Only a short video about a dial idea I've had for the EZM13 which I think looks there better

Love Sinns as I do, the EZM13 is probably never going to be on my Wants List. Ignoring that irrelevance, your suggested changes look immediately better. I'd also grey-out the running-seconds hand while I was at it.
All that said, can we just have the EZM 1.1 back - it's a look clearly intended for a center-minutes chronograph, and that was the perfect size at 43mm.

I agree with the OP, the numerals need to go, a la 3F, a great improvement on the 3. Allez le 13F!
It's interesting that the 1.1 was made bigger than the 1, for no technnical benefit (the 7750 is no larger than the 5100), just because they wanted it so.
For various reasons, the 1.1 was a bit of a failure, and won't be coming back, I am sure.
The 1 sold well as one of Sinn's most expensive watches back in the day (over 3000 made in about 7 years), the 1 LE of 250 sold well, and immediately traded at a premium.
Sinn massively upped the price for the 1.1 and they hung around in dealers for way too long, considering that they too were a (less) Limited Edition of 500 - they could be bought new from ADs more than a year after release. That is not a success in anyone's book.
The 1.1s do not really trade at a premium, so are not as well regarded as the original.
Then Damasko came along and offered the DC80, which is 95% of the EZM1.1 for about half the price.
Sinn won't be doing any more.
I would love them to, but they won't offer the 1 either.

Shush you - the 1.0 was 39mm iirc - so the sparrow-wristed are (were *sob*) catered for...
Made me look dammit, and yep, even now, there are dealers with new full set watches available!I agree with the OP, the numerals need to go, a la 3F, a great improvement on the 3. Allez le 13F!

DaveShame they got greedy, but then again the demise of the Lemania 5100 will have made it an expensive thing to do in small numbers, and a left-hooker will never sell the numbers they needed... Mind, even at £5K it's a helluva watch for the price of a dreary beginners' Rolex...
My EZM1 Le is 40mm as were the standard onesShush you - the 1.0 was 39mm iirc - so the sparrow-wristed are (were *sob*) catered for...
