Great review, i couldn't have said any better... love mine!
Hi Panos, i have a 7-1/2" wrist.
Thanks, I will think about your offer.
Can anyone post wrist fotos for the black version of EBEL 1911 Discovery chronometer?
That would be nice to see wrist shots of the black version as well. I think that it may be the better looking watch.
Here ya go....

Even if it is an older model, I would like to share this one with you
This is the original 1911 chronograph. In its solid gold version, it was worn by Don Johnson in every season of "Miami Vice." Since his character was an undercover cop posing as a major drug player, he apparently desired to display a bit more panache that other drug lords who might sport, say, a Rolex President.
The 1911 chronograph featured the Ebel calibre 137 movement, which was produced out of a joint development between Ebel and Ulysse Nardin (the result for UN was their cal. 32). The movement was (barely) based on the Lemania 1340 ... according to most accounts, fewer than a dozen parts of the 1340 remained in the new movements. Whether Ebel has retained the capacity to manufacture this movement in-house I cannot say, although my understanding is that UN does produce its cal. 32 in-house.

Having done some researches on my own I found this article on it: Old school – Ebel Sport Classic Chronograph | Monochrome Watches
According to it, it seems that at least earlier models of the watch featured El Primero movements and judging by the motion glide of the second hand on my watch, I would tend to believe it is powered by El Primero (unless the caliber 137 is also running at 36.000 vibrations per hour).
I wonder whether you would know any reference chart to date an ebel watch by its serial number? I cant rely on the purchase date since i bought mine just a couple of days ago and the dealer who sold it to me had apparently very little knowledge in the brand.
Thank you J
