Sinn end links

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…

Is it a better clasp?

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.

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 smo…

It’s been a while since I had a Sinn.

Picked up this lovely 142 D1 from a very nice gent. Super clean. Set it yesterday and wore it today and it's +6 seconds. Not too shabby. There's something about the 142 that speaks to me. And I love the unique chrono arrangement of the 5100….

Sinn 856

The 856 (with numerals) is a watch I've had my eye on for a long time. I'd appreciate feedback from anyone that's owned one. Quality, robustness, accuracy, wearability, etc., etc. I especially like the red second hand version, but I know…

U50 Spring Bar Question

Is there a “trick” to installing the U2 Bracelet?

I'm really thrown off by getting the contoured link between the lugs with one of the pins in the hole so I can push the other one in. I'm wondering if there is something I'm just missing / doing wrong?
