Incoming black Sumo






My original thinking was to get a baby Marine Master and I still likely will, or perhaps the MM300m, but I was curious about the new Sumo. I knew when I put this one on yesterday at the AD it was coming home with me. It wears perfectly! The only thing I had to decide was whether to get this black one or go for that awesome green. The matte black really sung to me so I went with it and love it, but I fear resistance is futile. I just know I won't be able to resist going back and getting the green one also.

I really like the bracelet but I am thinking about putting it on a strap occasionally. I would appreciate any input on options and as always, pictures are much appreciated.

Indeed. I have been admiring your great watch pics for a few days and it was a big factor in my decision to get a Sumo.

Looks great. The Sumo always wore to wide on my wrist for me. Which is a shame because I really like it. The MM200 fit me best.

Great watch and it wears so nice. I bought the green and the black and can't decide which one is the best. I own a Rolex Hulk but the watches are so different that I do not even compare them.

Black sumo on 20mm bonetto cinturini rubber nato works quite well. I’m not a huge fan of the stock bracelet. I’ve also dabbled with the 20mm seiko MM300 rubber strap, which is also a cool look, comfortable, but a bit thicker / bulkier. Both below.

It looks great on both of those! Thank you for the pics.

That green looks spectacular on both the watch and the Crafter Blue! Thank you for posting it up. I was looking again at the green Sumo at the AD today when I was in picking up a little something from one of the other watch cases.
