Seiko and Sinn
Seiko and Sinn are two of my favorite watch brands. This SLA049 and U50-SDRT are two of my favorite watches from those brands. For being dive watches, they are pretty different.
I put a deposit down on the U50 the week that it was announced and have worn it religiously since I got it. The tegiment process that Sinn has is amazing. I am pretty rough on watches and that thing remains in like new condition. Its tough, accurate, and looks good on the shown bracelet as well as the Sinn rubber strap or a Nato. That watch on the Sinn fitted rubber strap is possibly my favorite watch to wear.
I got the Seiko a few months ago. I have always loved the turtle but have never worn a Willard. I have a lot of Seiko dive watches in the lower end of their catalogue and wanted to try a SLA model. Enter the Uemura. The dial is amazing and a great shade of blue. The 8L movement is solid and the finishing on the case and hands are definitely a step above their standard offerings. I took the watch off the bracelet and put it on the provided rubber strap. It is very comfortable and I like the vintage vibe that the rubber strap brings.
Both watches are amazing and will remain in the collection for a long long time. Ok ciao.

That Sinn is awesome. The tip on the hands reminds me of a middle finger 😅 probably directed towards scratches.
Sinn U50 is on my wish list
Great pair! I love my U50 and the Seiko is on my wish list. Naomi Uemura was a heroic adventurer.
Very nice! The Sinn Tegementation is much better than Seiko's Diashield/Ever Brilliant steel. Citizen's Duratect offering is also better than the Diashield.

They certainly are unique and funky. They remind me of buoys.
Sinn U50 is on my wish list
Totally worth it!

Thank you, he certainly was a badass! I did not know much about him and the research into this watch help show me how awesome he was.

Absolutely. It works wonders and well worth the premium.
