Master Compressor Extreme series is a spoiler......
What I mean is, after wearing my EWC for a few weeks, I now find that almost every watch I try on seems insubstantial and small. I tried on the Amvox 2 today and it just felt too small. Indeed a lovely watch and an ingenious chronograph mechanism, but it just didn't feel right. Hence why I ordered the Mater Compressor Extreme W-Alarm
I think the size of the EWC is superb, but has in some ways spolied my potential to enjoy smaller sized watches, even ones as excellent as the Amvox 2.
Something inside me tells me I should get the Amvox 2, but something else says I would not be happy and should wait for the W-Alarm. I prefered the standard titanium Amvox as opposed to the black titanium (the black seemed even smaller as the case melded into the strap).
Anyone else have the same feelings having worn an EWC or Master Compressor series watch?

The only way to make the good choice is to put the watch on your wrist. As for the EWC Alarm, you'll have no problem to try one.It will be more difficult for the Amvox II,as they are all sold out. As always, buy what you like! Nicolas
Good points..

Absolutely agree. I was surprised to find an Amvox 2 at the AD, but there were two, one titanium and one blackened titanium. Is your view that they are all sold out now? Perhaps I ought to get it before I lose the opportunity. Simon

Thanks to let us know! I think that it's indeed the best way to correctly choose a watch , when you hesitate between 2 models. Personnaly, I find the dial of the EWC alarm a bit too busy, but it's my personal taste, of course. And I'm a bit biased, as I t...
LOL! I'll tell you why....

because I want to see the Extreme W-Alarm and decide from there, I really do want the Amvox 2, I want the Richard Mille 011, I want the Urwerk 103 and my FD/wife says she and my girls want a life with the usual thing like holidays! So many things to balan...
