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?

I had the same problems with Panerai.The other watches seemed too small for me.
But with the time, and the novelty effect going down, you'll enjoy "smaller" watches as Amvox II.
This last one is a great watch, and IMHO, you should go on it.
I love mine,as my smaller Amvox I ti.









And you know what? I still love my Pannies too!LOL

AND, A SPECIAL NIGHT MACRO SHOT...SPECIAL EFFECT!

I feel I would like to see the W-Alarm in the flesh before making a decision though. Thanks for posting those pictures. They show the beauty of the Amvox 2 very well.

Simon

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

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

The Amvox II is sold out.
You can grab one in the grey market,often for a reasonnable price.
Put one on your wtist and you'll see (the light)!LOLOL

Well, my AD is fantastic.  They are keeping the Amvox II for me until the W-Alarm is released around September and then I can decide.  What fantastic people to deal with. 

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 think that the amvox II is an icon watch.
The dial is perfectly balanced, more than the DBS version with the 3 counter for the seconds, and the watch perfectly sits on my wrist.
+ the originality of the Amvox II, all this makes it PERFECT!

You're obvious love of the Amvox 2 and the fact that all you say is true is making me itch to just go for it! I must resist

Simon

nt

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 balance LOL! Of course, my family comes first, and I could always sell some of my wife's shoes and handbags to fund my next purchase!!

Simon

Simon,

What did you finally decide on after selling those shoes and handbags?

Your pseudo is perfectly chosen as you reall travel in our Forum Time!



Well, I really hope that Simon may answer you, as he's a good friend of us, and it will be a sign all is better for him.

Best

Nicolas
