It’s Alive!
7 years ago, I bought a Sinn U200B, a 37 mm limited edition diver. I purchased it brand new from the only authorized dealer in North America. I was very impressed with it, especially the specs: built from submarine steel, 2000 M water resistance, tegmented bezel. It has the weird dehumidifying capsule built into the case side. It came on a white rubber strap, which I had them switch out for black, (white straps are not my thing) and a blue and white Nato. Then I ordered the OEM bracelet for it, also tegmented. Great little diver, built like a tank, or so I thought. About 6 months later, it suddenly stopped. I had not dropped it. It simply stopped working. I never sent it in for warranty work. I just put it away. So yesterday, I was sorting through my collection and picked it up. As soon as I did, it started running. I set the time and date, and it has run perfectly since, keeping very accurate time. Weird, huh?

Glad that it's working again, but do you have any idea why it stopped?
I was just browsing the Watch Buys site yesterday looking at Sinns. If I can't get an Explorer anytime soon I was thinking a 556i would satisfy in the meantime, maybe even better in some ways. The new compass-less Seiko Alpinist also gets my attention to fill that role. |

That's a cool piece, indeed looks like a new watch. Enjoy! Maybe it now lives up to its perception after all.

Great watch. Magnetization is a good theory here I think.
