New (old) watch - Sinn 356 SA

I decided I wanted to get a smaller mechanical chronograph, and after a few months of searching, found this for just about USD1600 including box and documentation.

I had some reservations about the thickness of the 7750 movement in a case measuring 38.5mm in diameter. Looks good to my eye though!

Beautiful watch and solid workhorse movement. Congratulations 🎉

I recently built my own 7750 watch based on the IWC design

that is an awesome looking Flieger!! The rally strap belongs on a "racing-style" chrono though ... a "pilot-style" leather or metal bracelet would suit your watch better IMHO 👍

That's a fair point, and I agree: logically, a pilot-style strap would be more "aligned" with the spirit of the watch; but I live in Singapore, and I'm a pretty sweaty dude. I need something that helps me avoid that awful stickiness when it comes to mixing a leather strap with 75%+++ humidity 🥺

Amazing watch, in my opinion it rivals the Speedmaster in looks. It's one of my favorite watches - and I own it and a Speedmaster.

The thickness IMO is not an issue and the proportions just work - Sinn has someagic in their designs, like Seiko, that allows them to wear extremely well despite what the specs might say.

Such a handsome watch

Congrats! I’ve seen some sell around the same price but I don’t really see the deals any better than what you got. Always loved the 356! It’s been on my wish list for many, many years.
