    I am looking at 3 similar watches but I’m looking for opinions as I can’t make my mind up and can’t buy all 3.
    Sinn 103 I believe an early one with smooth bezel and no Automatik.
    Junghans Meister Pilot.
    Zenith Port Royal round again with smooth bezel. I sold one of these a while ago and suffering sellers remorse.
    I have some diver type watches so have a glut of bezels so going for smooth, which doesn’t apply to the Junghans but it’s so unusual I like it.

    For me, if those 3 the Zenith > Sinn > Junghans.

    In all honesty, I would never buy any of those 3 models. I have seen other models unlike from each of those brands, but these don’t do anything for me.

    Do you own a Speedmaster ?

    The 3 watches are all big watches, the Junghans is 44+ ?

    I do like the Sinn with the Automatik

    Really I think the Pick would be no4 for a no bezel

    I would only consider the Sinn and the Zenith. Then I would ask myself what the use will be? The Sinn is more toolish and will not dress up (IMO). The Zenith is a tad dressier and therefore more versatile, but you already owned that one. You sold it for a reason. It obviously didn't seem like a keeper to you at some point. I would be afraid that would happen again. For that reason if, I were you, I would go for the Sinn. Having said that, I personally would buy the Zenith.

    For the three, the Zenith, although the longer i look at it the more I dislike the multitude of fonts, numerals etc on the dial. Opt 4 IWC a fine option IMO, the sunburst dials are lovely..

    I’ve got expensive watches like a Rolex 16710 a Speedy Broad Arrow and Tudors and an IWC Spitfire with a silver dial etc etc. So the problem I have is I don’t have a black dial pilot’ish watch I would love to buy an IWC big pilot but can’t justify the cost even to myself.

    Between the first 3, it's the Sinn by a nose.
    Between the first 4, it's the IWC by a long shot.
    But now if we're just naming pilot watches, I'd consider saving a bundle with the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day-Date Auto. Non-chrono, but still...

    The B&R Airspeed is also non-chrono, but it looks like it belongs behind the yoke as well. I just wish it wasn't 46mm!
