Icon20 Unexpected new watch - Sinn.

Best friend is traveling in Frankfurt. Asked him to stop by, and get a few photos of the Sinn watches, as I have never seen one in person. He got a few pics, and before long, I had asked him to buy the spec desired. This is the best photo I have. He will send more later. I told him to wear it as much as he wants while in Frankfurt.

Congrats, you are now a Sinner!

Love my Sinn 757 UTC. Wore it while in Germany last year. Unfortunately it didn't include Frankfort or I would have made sure to visit the Sinn HQ.

Sinn’s are great. I didn’t know there was a Sinn boutique in Tokyo. Was venturing around Shibuja and there it was. Didn’t have the 903 II which is the one I want, but they were super nice and accommodating.

I though Sinn was big in Japan. I see a lot of listings for Sinn on Japan based secondary market retailers.

It would make sense to have a boutique in Tokyo.

Don't know why there isn't a bigger presence here in the US. This exclusive retailer thing is, in my opinion, a big mistake.

Congrats! Sinn is amazing. I bought a u50 in Q1 of this year and it ended up being my most worn watch. The slim size of the u50 makes it soooooo comfy!

I regret not buying a Sinn a number of years ago when they were ridiculous values.

Like most German products, they are built like tanks.

Congrats and enjoy!

Best friend got back from Frankfurt last night. Here is the U50. First impressions are very strong! The dial is so easy to read! Feels very overbuilt.

Quick update: Sinn is still doing well. Haven't worn it a lot, but it is in the current rotation.

Congrats! I love my u50, I wear it more than anything else. Even though I wear it to the gym, the tegimented steel shows almost no signs of wear, pretty crazy!

Unexpected new watch - Sinn.

As requested, a few pics of my U200 B, a limited edition, with a short run in 2013:







It came with a white rubber strap, which I had the AD switch for a black one, and a blue and white NATO. I added the tegemented bracelet, because I prefer bracelets. This is 37 mm, so perfect diver for me. This piece is bomb proof. It still looks new after 12 years. No marks on the clasp! I just checked it on my Timegrapher. Running at 0 with 0.1 beat error and amplitude of 296! Amazing after 12 years.

Never knew Sinn made a watch called the U200. Such a rare and interesting piece. Love the blue dial too. Very interesting! Is it quartz with the oil filled case?

Auto ETA 2824-2 , no oil filled case 2000M WR rating, made of uBoat steel. If needs service, has to be sent to Germany.
