Today I received my Sinn U50 back

Very interesting. I thought, the 556 is a wrist pleaser. The Salmon dial is beautiful but in my opinion a little too far away from the roots of the brand Sinn.

Do you already have a specific model in mind? Which one did you sell? 🤔

commented on Today I received my Sinn U50 back ·

Yes, I had no idea that they offer that many bracelets and straps. But to be honest, the tegimented u-boat steel bracelet is hard to beat. 😎

Oh yes, I can imagine that. The Sinn HQ is also not really downtown which would come with some prestige but in the north of Frankfurt near industrial buildings and a Porsche Dealership. What I'm trying to say: You wouldn't expect a watchmaker in that part of town.

Must be a coincidence! 😂 Besides the service times I can only say positive things about the watch!

Very cool. But are they also able to service the more special Sinn technologies like the Hydro watches or Diapal or the AR technology?

Very interesting, thank you for the insight. My time is almost the time they had the watch. Shipping took not longer than 2 days and I picked it up myself.

I don't even want to think about how long North- and South American or Asian, African or Australian Crunchers would have to wait, if they don't have the possibility to service the watch on their continent.

I think, the watch is currently "too new" but I'll definitely will consider it in the future. But to be honest, there aren't many watchmakers in my "local".

Service/Revision at the manufacturer/AD or independent watchmaker?

Do you have a favourite day of the month because of the date wheel? 🐸
