Hi everyone,
I am considering this simple and elegant Sinn. The movement is an off-the-shelf Sw200-1. Maybe not a quintessential Sinn but at 1100€, with this brand name and the quality it implies, why not.
Do you have experience with this watch ?

Great watch, only downsides I've seen is the short power reserve and the bracelet can be difficult to fit my wrist just right. On a strap though it's perfect for me!
I got the 556i rs with the red seconds hand.
Nice watches. I think a no date would be even better.

Excellent ! Thanks
Nice watches. I think a no date would be even better.
I have the no date version and it’s actually a ghost date. 😭
That is pure, simple, understated CLASS. 😎👍
I had a 556a, lovely watch. I was on the fence between the "a" and the "I" but the numerals being exactly like those in Sinns cockpit clocks sold me on the former
Always liked the "all business" attitude of the 556.
If you like the 556i, take a look at the Damasko DS30, DK30/32, and the new DK20/22. The DK series use Damasko's A-26 movement, while the DS30 uses an ETA 2824.
Highly desirable movement and beautiful piece pull the trigger #sinn
The 556 is an excellent watch! Probably the most legible watch in my collection. You’ll swear there is no crystal in the watch.
And the SW200 in it is a top grade version, so no slouch either. Mine runs about +2.5spd.
Pics when you get it!
purchased the one with arabic numerals in march as my first automatic watch. it‘s in everyday use and I often look at it in amazement regarding the fact that I can‘t get enough of it. no regrets whatsoever.
Before you decide, take a look at Laco and STOWA.
No experience but love what Sinn does. They've made a black dial and no numerals their own.
I don’t have a Sinn, but my CW C63 Sealander and has the same movement as this Sinn. It runs pretty accurate although I have put it to a timegrapher, I am quite haapy with it.
Utilitarian beauty!
No experience, but the 556i RS is my grail watch. The design is just timeless 🎯
I have a 556i. No problems whatsoever. The movement is very accurate, runs at 1or2 s/day. Wear mine on either a Sinn leather strap or Sinn canvas which dresses it down very nicely. Sinn straps are good quality and IMO good value for money. I don’t have the bracelet as I think the 556 suits a strap better.
No regrets buying the 556i but if funds allow I’d like a 556ARS. Perhaps if I was buying my first 556 the 556ARS would be my first choice.
Very nice ! Thank you 🙏
Are they really as thin as quoted - 11mm? must be nice and wearable at that thickness.
“Total height in the middle of the clock : 11mm” says the spec sheet. That’s one of the appeals of this watch indeed
I have the 556a RS - I recommend either the I or A with the red second hand as it just adds a bit of colour. I’ve owned quite a few more expensive pieces but this is one of the best, legibility is the best I’ve seen.
I really like this one but the size puts me off. I like the 836 a bit better that same reason.
I like simplicity in design. The 556i has that characteristic. Another plus point is that is that it is a GADA (go anywhere do anything) type of watch. Built quality is really good, like everyone else I was contemplating between i and a. I picked the i because the black is more glossy and never regret it.
I've had the 556i for a few years and love it. I prefer it on a strap. The black glossy dial is mesmerizing and the way the crystal is coated, it seems to disappear. A really nice every day wear for me.

Agreed 😀https://www.watchcrunch.com/Marquis/posts/wruw-2023-12-24-bc433b6a-nlcy7hgt-278488
I really like 556 series and always wanted to get one. But I think I'm too late to the party. With the price increases over the years, the 'value' has gone down. Anyone feels the same?

I don’t 😀I bought mine in December for 1250€, it is a wonderful watch, a keeper. No regrets !
I had a Sinn 556i, which I sold when I was consolidating my collection. The only watch sale I regret. Will be getting another one this year 😂🤦🏼♂️
Needless to say, amazing watch imo
