Got this watch nearly a year ago, and it joins my Sub 16610 in my collection. It actually gets more wrist time than the sub. I really love this watch. Looks great, very comfortable, good AR coating on the sapphire, display back and probably the best lume I have ever seen.

Borrowed bracelet from the Sub!

Absolutly love it! If I had to pick one chrono, this would probably be it.

CharlieG · 9 May 2009, 01:42 AM

Its a beauty

migboy · 9 May 2009, 01:45 AM

nice!

airforcemedical · 21 June 2009, 08:54 AM

Would love to try on one of those.

hflee55 · 21 June 2009, 08:33 PM

Very nice!

Watchdog · 27 June 2009, 11:35 AM

Wow, I like that A LOT!

Watchdog · 27 June 2009, 11:36 AM

Anyone know the price on that watch?

Not retail, but what one can reasonably expect to pay?

rmcarlton · 2 July 2009, 12:14 AM

Great watch. What type of band is that? Thanks.

the*roser · 1 October 2009, 03:01 PM

Those are some nice add on bands. Sinns are very easy and fun to change bands on

Yardmanson · 27 January 2010, 09:56 AM

Hi, I'm new to the forum.. My late brother left me this watch (amongst others) and I'm very interested in it.. I see lots of 'Fliegers' online but not the '40 JAHRE' model I have..

My brother was born in 61, so it was clearly personal to him. It needs a service as since my toddler dropped it, it's been unhappy and the date never syncs in the window. (I was wearing it daily up until then) I want it fixed.. Any advice would be very, very welcome..

everose · 27 January 2010, 04:32 PM

Congrats....looks fabulous!!

I love EVERY model Sinn presently make........i cannot think of another watch co i could say that about.

Also i'm not really into vintage watches.....but the earlier 1970's Sinn models look amazing.

I hope to own one before year end.

Nice pics!!

Hi Yardmanson,

Sorry about your brother......but what an amazing way to always remember him.Vintage Sinn are beautiful.

sunburst · 27 January 2010, 09:43 PM

Sorry about your brother.
Don't see too many Sinn 356 "40 JAHRE" as it was limited to 1,000.
The back of the watch should have serial# marking of "356.xxxx/1000" where xxxx indicating the sequence#.
You've mentioned that "date never syncs in the window" but can you be more specific as to the symptom.

TSW · 27 January 2010, 09:46 PM

Nice!!

ogcsmith · 28 January 2010, 04:04 AM

Wow!! I always like the 356 but not the bracelet. Seeing that it fits on a sub bracelet is great and i'm sorely tempted now.

Hs it left any marks on the watch itself or did you protect it somehow?

JBat · 28 January 2010, 07:30 AM

Yardmanson, also sorry to hear about your brother. He and I were born in the same year, and passing in your 40's is way too young. He left you a beautiful keepsake. I really like this Sinn, but admittedly know little about the brand. It's one of the better chronos I've seen.

My condolences
I suppose you can always mail it back to Germany for servicing, though the 40 JAHRE uses Valjoux 7750 movements and should not be unfamiliar to watchmakers. I would suggest taking it in to a local watchmaker you trust to take a look first.

sea-dweller · 21 February 2010, 12:22 PM

Nice Sinn !!!

Latrodectus · 21 February 2010, 01:51 PM

What a great looking watch...love it!

Love the Sinn products.
I made the mistake of letting an early 142 go last year and I regret it every day.
