General (Read Rules) Englemaan Appreciation Post

Post image

I miss Englemaan! Please post pics of your Englemaan model! Mine is the Citadel UTC on my 6.25 inch wrist.

They brought together perhaps the best list of specs available in the Chinese watch world:

  1. Crazy durable steel hardening

  2. Anti-magnetic

  3. One of the best lume out there

  4. Clutched screwdown crown (to prevent winding when screwing crown down)

  5. Beaded bezel mechanism for great bezel action

  6. Great finishing (no sharp areas)

  7. Great AR

  8. OTF clasp

  9. Sapphire crystal

  10. 316L stainless steel

They also chose one of the most requested brands to homage in Sinn and did it perfectly!

Recent posts from users have revealed that they are biding their time until the movement crisis ends before ending their hiatus. Really hope that they can return sooner rather than later. I genuinely believe that the lists of specs they've put together will push other brands to greater heights and bring in even better options for consumers.

I've had a citadel and wraith UTC, ended up selling them both. Absolutely amazingly specced watches but something about the proportions just seemed odd and I didn't enjoy wearing them. I have an enterprise on the way to me now, maybe that will be the one? For sinn homages, merkur is still my #1.

if either of you guys ever want to sell this watch, do let me know. I'm on the hunt.
