I just received this email from Watchbuys yesterday. I'm a sucker for white dials and I really like the looks of this one. Sure would hurt the bank account.

Just wanted to share a fun DIY project I just completed. I recently purchased a roughly 20 year old Sinn 256 from Japan. The watch was well cared for but the matte beadblasted finish was getting a bit shiny on the lugs and sides of the case. The bracelet was covered in scuffs and was also getting shiny. I prefer a true matte finish and in fact I was looking for a darker, almost titanium-like (or tegiment) finish.

I bought a Badger hobby abrasive sprayer and a $40 airbrush compressor…

Hodinkee reports that Sinn, amongst 9 other brands, will join the fair in 26. My initial thought is they must have something significant to share in the works, as it’s a considerable expense to participate. New model? Refreshed cases on mainstays ( thinner chrono)? More than just new dial colors?

I also wonder if this will affect anyone’s buying strategy for the next few months.

Bottom line is this will most likely lead to more coverage of the brand's next releases. While we wait…

Sinn have this year released a new model, the Sinn U50 Hydro.

Now, this to me looks like it is designed to replace the Sinn UX Hydro. Similar pricing. Similar functionality.

The UX uses a thermocompensated quartz movement which is chronometer certified, the ETA 955.652. The new U50 uses a bog-standard Ronda quartz movement.

Thoughts on this?

Is it a bellwether of the market appetite for high-accuracy quartz?

Is it because ETA are tightening supplies, and/or have discontinued the…

Hello all. I recently bought a Sinn watch at auction and it’s missing one of the end links. I bought some replacement links but they are to big and do not fit the case. They do fit the bracelet. I’m having trouble finding the right links. Can someone steer me in the right direction? I did read that these might be discontinued. Can I modify the larger replacement end links to fit the watch? Any info is greatly appreciated

I just found a copycat that IMO has a nicer clasp implementation than the Sinn.

Maybe the Sinn clasp has greater margin of adjustment, but I like better this clasp. Her is the actual link of the bracelet that moves instead of a clasp extension.

I wear the watch normally, home – office – home, do not work in a mine or a quarry ( :) ) and while I understand that over time the outer AR coating will get scratched / damaged literally 5 days of no extreme exposure seem a bit too soon for me…

Hello,

About a year ago I purchased an 856 and a 556 I RS.

Within a few months, the 556 exhibited severe resistance on winding and wouldn't hold a full "charge." I had it serviced under warranty and it still didn't feel silky smooth like it was when it was new. I ended up selling it, still under warranty.

Last month I ordered a 556 A since I love the aesthetic of the 856 and figured I'd have my favorite dial for any occasion. It's been about a month and the new 556 is exhibiting the…

I bought a used U1 from somewhere… I cant remember. I either traded for it or bought it outright on this forum.

Its been two years. Last year I wanted to take it on an overseas vacation with me and it stopped working two days before so I took a different watch intending to send it in for service upon my return. When I got back, I picked it up and it started working and keeping time just fine so I wore it for a year. It worked so reliably that I actually took it on vacation this summer…
