U1 “Oreo” with the white dial, black case and black markers. Own this watch and it’s so incredible, fits VERY well for a 44mm, though the slimness of the u50 is niiiice
@@JizzyNinja Why brands don't play with negative dials baffles me. It's an even better reinterpretation of 80's design (and works supremely on a model like the U1 / U50) Love it brother!
The 103 dial is a masterclass in typography, the dial is busy, and yet clean and perfectly balanced with none of the visible numbers clipped by the sub dials. The spacing between elements is neat and consistent. Finally, as one can only expect from Sinn - a pilots watch, yet built well enough to be water resistant to 200m.
Man that 103 is class. I honestly thought it was going to be such an overpriced model before doing a bit of research for this video. That Automatik script sells it every time... and WR with these machines... brands should really be taking notice!
My 16 year old Sinn 857 UTC, thanks to its Tegimented hardened steel looks as good as new. The dial is so simple it is timeless. Indeed Sinn manufactured watches for Bell @ Ross when they started, the 556 came first.
My ST104 I one of my favorite pieces. While not the most expensive piece in my collection by far, it’s design and wearability is up there with my higher end watches. Sinn design on every level punches so far above their price point.
And this is basically the synopsis of the video in a few words ;) It blows me away how price is virtually irrelevant with this brand and even the cheapest offerings from them receive the same attention AND just how diverse the selection is? It's superb. The 104 with full arabics (my dream) such a charmer. Sinn needs way more love. Thanks for taking the time to watch the clip Steve!
What an outstanding presentation. The watches are utilitarian and, in your words, brutal but this video is just so finessed and nuanced. You really know what you're talking about, and you know how to present it. Bravo, sir.
I own the U50 with the steel bezel and I absolutely love it. It’s the one watch that I wear the most because it looks unique, is comfortable, and can take a beating. I’m itching to also get the U50 with the black bezel, it looks so good on that red rubber strap. Thanks for the video.
Ah! You’re definitely on to one of my favorite brands of watches! Sinn just really gets right so many things that I appreciate in watches. For me, the U1, U50, and UX are my top choices. Brutalist, Minimalist, and yet such precision and quality throughout their designs. I think they are what Rolex was perhaps 60 or 70 years ago. Great video 🥃
It blows my mind how much diversity can be found across the board with this brand... And even though I always eye the EZM's and U50's, man, that 103 is right up there! I'm honestly contemplating selling a few bits and pieces off and picking up a U50 SDR by the end of the year (maybe early next year) Gems, absolute gems! Thanks for taking the time to watch the clip Alvin!
I agree 100%. My first more expensive watch was a 556i and I love it as much as my bb58. My U50 is such a tank a super flat tank (maybe the thinnest 500m automatic diver in production?). Greetings Oni
Nicely said Oni! Ah and don't tempt me with that U50. I'm eyeing the SDR every week... most definitely the lowest profile 500m diver out there. Blows my mind that the U1 is rated to 1000m! Freaking love the tech behind these machines!
Have been in this hobby for 7 years and never considered Sinn. But after ordering my wife the limited 556 Citrine dial, I now found myself looking at all their models. Such amazing designs!
A couple of years ago I really wanted a 356 but went for the 103. Sold the 103 after 6 months and found a bead blasted 356 with the Valjoux movt last year. Haven't looked back since.
Sinn truly offer something for everyone at a great price point. For me rhe 556a has always been a great alternative to the Rolex Explorer. Have been looking at adding the 105 to the collection but can't make my mind up between the UTC or the 3 hander 😀
Ive had a sinn 756 diapal for nearly a decade and still love it. Granted not an entry level Sinn but hardly a scratch on it still after all this time , and it was a daily wear for first 2.5 years
I would add the 856 series to your recommendations. A great way to get access to some of the proprietary technologies (Tegimenting, dehumidification, increased resistance to magnetic fields ...) which also make Sinn such a compelling brand, as well as their pilot watch aesthetic..
Once again your passion for this great brand comes through. So many iconic watches to choose from It's a sweetshop . Personally I own the r500, 556a and u50 mop. The simplicity of the ezm3f rocks and the ux gsg9 has such an appeal . Great video and always great to see Sinn getting the respect it deserves.
Thanks for putting Sinn on the map for me. I've seen these watches on other channels, but I saw no real argument for their distinctiveness. Now I find them much more interesting. I admit that having day and date complications is awfully convenient. I was wearing my Orient Kamasu (red dial) to a professional conference where I did not want to be too flashy or wear something expensive, and I realized the value of these complications. Oddly, they seem less valuable in familiar circumstances PS: This Orient turns out to be flashier than I remembered, especially in brilliant sunshine.
I have the U50 with the mother-of-pearl dial. It is a pretty special watch with its juxtaposition of the almost dainty dial and brutal design elements. Sometimes I still find myself pining for a regular U50 or some of the other more functional models.
It's such a beauty. I have looked at it (in all black) on the Red Strap - The SDR, for days on end wondering if I should pull the trigger... It's going to happen eventually, I can feel it. Incredible that a brand can pull out the stops on a watch like this with an industry that's so saturated with them (pun intended)
I first fell in love with Sinn watches from an add for one back in 1995, I’ve owned two Sinn watches since then and regret that I did pick up the EZM 10 while it was still in production. Great analysis.
That EZM 10 is just power. Raw power! I've seen models like it but NEVER as good as this one... damnit, that's pretty. The pushers integrated into the case? Get out of here... I hope you're still rocking it proudly Ren. What an amazing watch!
not sure if you mean you didn't pick one up or if you actually regret that you did ;) but as an owner of said model i can really recommend it. i have used it exclusively for over a year now despite owning some other pieces i really like too.
Incredible video as always and great choice with the top 5. I think you'd like the Sinn Modell 206 Arktis ii. It is a beast at 43mm but incredible what it achieves.
Oh yes, one of my favourite cult brands, I have had a 556i for over a year now and used it traveling with a tropical navy strap and with the bracelet. With a top grade Sellita SW200 that has been regulated in house by Sinn to be within COSC tolerances its such good value for money and I have had many compliments about the look of my watch as they love the look. Moreover, the AR coating on the outside has not scratch on mine like other people claim. I want a 104 or Flieger or U50 dam so many goodies !
Sinn is a cult at this stage, love it ;) Glad you've been rocking your 556 around everywhere you go (feels the same with me an the BigEye, it barely ever leaves the wrist) Thanks for taking the time to watch the clip brother and have a great start to your weekend!
Great design is timeless. I'm a huge fan of Sinn design. Hard-boiled, with no sugar! I prefer their 356 and 144 chronos, but also own a EZM3F. At an affordable price-point, the 356 chrono is a fantastic design - outdoing bloated modern IWC for a fraction of the price. For a less tool look, the copper dial variant is an amazing addition to the range - a really fabulous copper guilloche and the multi-link bracelet is very good.
If the Pelagos was as thin as the U50, I'd buy one in a heart beat. Progress with the FXD, but that L2L is a stretch for me. Sinn is fire, so much to love. It says something about a brand that has so many category defining pieces. Few, if any, make tools like Sinn.
I know what you mean. The fatter Pelagos cases have never done it for me (always felt too top heavy) But man, the U50 is a case study on how to design a watch. Full stop. I'm yearning for one now at this point (the SDR) That splash of Red with a Rubber strap and Deployant is just...
I have a micro collection of Sinn watches withing my watch collection the 104 in blue and black, the 556 in black, and the 356. They all are accurate and the quality is amazing for the money.
My favorite is the U50, which is the one I got, fully tegimented. Brilliant engineering and design, toughest watch I've ever owned, remarkably comfortable and unobtrusive to wear for the specs. I also have a Tudor FXD, which is very nice, but for heavy duty sports usage, it would be the U50 any day. I am also strongly considering the EZM 3F, whose design is a bit less brutal than the U50, for daily wear at the office.
Before buying the U50 or U1, one should see the UX in person, it is absolutely amazing. There is no distortion of the dial from any angle. I own the 103 and am always amazed at the 200m water resistance that some of my screw down crown watches can't even achieve.
Thank you for "exposing" this brand. I have had a blue 104 on a dark tan leather strap for a couple of years now. Initially, I bought it to be an everyday piece. However, it is so beautiful that I now wear it for dressier occasions. The watch never fails to attract compliments. Have you ever thought of Fortis? Theirs too is a gorgeous catalogue of tool watches.
Love Sinn. My first quality timepiece was an 856 UTC S and it will always be with me. In the category you created, for me, It’s a toss up between the 103 and the EZM 3F. Both amazing for different reasons. I nearly pulled the trigger on the new 1.1, but after having a coated watch case for some time, the ultimate slight removal of the black coating due to scratches stopped me. Scratches themselves don’t bother me, but I’ve come to realize that bare metal showing through the black coating does. 🤷🏻♂️ If I was a special forces or SWAT team member it would be fine, but I’m just a collector 😂. Still, brilliant, tough, precise tools.
I know what you mean about the unsightly undermetal. But with Sinn I bet its the best DLC in the business (or even better) probably the same kind of coating used on SMG's etc ;) But man, the want to own a Sinn is real for me now. It's a tossup between the 3F or the U50 SDR (I'm digging the Red contrast so much) Ah, thanks for taking the time to watch the clip Lance!
@@ID-Guy Haha I completely understand that “want”. Good luck with your decision. You can’t lose either way. Sidenote- The Tegimented black coating on my Sinn didn’t show even one scratch for the first year, not one, then the edges started shining through in spots. I LOVE the black, but it’s a long term consideration. All the best!
I’ve owned the Big Eye, and I’d have to disagree. While I love the styling of the dial, the case is way too thick for my liking. If it were around 11-12mm thick and 40 mm max in diameter, then it would be a home run for me. Nice video, keep up the good work!
Absolutely, I wanted to keep it less focused on the pricetag but basically shed light on how excellent their simpler pieces are. It's crazy to see what they offer today (I had no idea how far the depths went either) ;)
+ 1 on EZM 3, but my first Sinn is a 856 S UTC because Sinn does non-reflective, matte black look so well with black tegimented case and bracelet. And has all the Sinn tech (tegimenting, anti-humidity, anti-magnetism) with UTC time.
That EZM 3 is so damn good and congrats on picking one up! Just decided today that tomorrow I'll be working on a talk all about LHD watches (being a resident right wrister I know the feeling) ;) There are so many benefits to having the crown the other way
@@ID-Guy I have considered buying left hand watches on multiple occasions because of how the crown keeps digging in to my hand, and thought how good the left-handers must have it. I am looking forward to this video and the perspective of a left-hander.
We've got to find you the gem. I'm seriously considering a U50 SDR for early next years as a pickup. The contrasting red accents with red rubber is just bonkers and cool at once ;) Oh friend Russell in the comments picked up a 765 UTC and can't get enough of it. Maybe it's that complexity you'd love more? Which is why we love Nivada and all those other quirky machines
I had a fully tegimented u50 but I ultimately returned it. My main issue was that it was painful round my wrist, was quite tight, but would still slide down my wrist. Other minor issues were the glass was difficult to keep clean and I just didn't like the pattern around the bezel. It kind of reminded me of a mushroom sometimes. I did love the dial though. Was difficult to make a decision. Looking to buy a 556i, hopefully for an every day watch.
sinn designs are just great. I’ve been into the watch game for a long time now and it all looks the same. especially young brands struggle with an own-, a unique look. sinn smashed that. you recognize a sinn. although they’re awesome watches.
Great review of an amazing brand. Love my SINN, tegimented and indestructible. 👍 I went from my first German watch being a Dato Lumen back to a SINN so they can certainly hold their own in any arena. Keep up the great work. 🥃
Your 856 UTC!! I'm itching to pick up one at this point (the U50 SDR) And I promise to get back to your messages Russell - it's been a busy few days with logistics ;)
@@russell996 What an excellent machine... I forgot yours was the chrono! It blows my mind how diverse the brand is. Ah, you're making my deciding even harder!
Sinn is one of the few brands in the market that is positioned perfectly for its core audience. From its distinctly muted utilitarian design, rugged specs, to its fair pricing, Sinn has you covered. As Sinn was founded fairly recently, it doesn’t have the heritage of other similar German brands like Stowa, Laco, and Hanhart, but it also doesn’t have the baggage that comes with it. Sinn doesn’t have to live in the shadow of famous references, or WW2 associations, and can be nimble enough to dramatically iterate existing model families, and create entirely new models that actually sell, without causing purists to cry foul. This is a remarkably enviable market position for Sinn. Here’s another tidbit. I was talking to a group of about 5-6 non-watch enthusiasts recently who were just getting into the market for watches. They talked mostly about Omega, Hamilton, Seiko, and Sinn. It was a small sample size, to be fair, but the brand awareness of Sinn appears to be on the rise. Considering I own 4 Sinn’s, it shouldn’t have shocked the hell out of me, but it did.
Thank you for all of this background (as always Flieger) ;) I'm amazed that newcomers are learning about the name! Just goes to show that social platforms have huge benefits when it comes to brand awareness. Amazing! I cannot get over how diverse but uniform all of their pieces are. They have to have one of the most dynamic portfolios (in Europe - I'd say Seiko has Asia) and constantly brings out bangers. Ah, love it. My time to own one will be soon... those U50's are too tempting...
Rocking my 556i black dial on H link while watching this video. Good timing as I haven’t worn it in awhile. Great watch. Want a 104 white dial on H link. Also hoping they make a U50 blue dial as the U1 B is bigger than what I’d like. A U50 B would be loved by many. The Big Eye was tops of my list until the Speedy 3861 came out. Tried both on at the same time and the Speedy sapphire sandwich stole my heart. Still love the Big Eye but can’t own them all.
Those 556i's (I always think of BMW seeing the reference) Such strap monsters. I'd be rocking it on a grey / black nato ;) It blows me away how diverse of a selection Sinn offers... Ah and the BigEye. Funnily enough, I had to stop myself from picking up a 3861 SS from WoS at the beginning of the year. I know the feeling man... the watch is gorgeous. The BigEye has become that "overbuilt" field watch in the collection, I've been wearing it for everything and it keeps rolling with the punches. Thanks for taking the time to watch the clip brother!
I may have to add the Big Eye down the road because it’s so good. For now, trying to be disciplined and keep my eyes on the prize of the Speedy and save save save. The 556i is really the only watch I need. It was supposed to be the grail exit watch back in 2018🤣
@@theenavybluemonster The exit watch is a myth I tell you ;) There are too many collectors out there who always come back for another look and "yup, here's another new amazing watch worth a try" haha! Keep saving for the Speedy. An Omega in the collection is the icing on a cake!
Excellent piece, once again. I completely agree with you on the EZM 3F and have been putting off adding it to the collection for some time. I love the LHD, particularly as the crown is sharp and digs into my wrist on my 104 st sa i (same crown and case). A blue U50 will be mine when Sinn release it. Just one thing, you said the diameter of the U1 is 41mm. The U50 is 41mm, with the U1 being 44mm. Other than that, flawless. Just like Sinn’s designs. 🙏😉🥃
Thank you as always Mark! I've been quite blown away seeing how deep the depths of Sinn gets. And owner testimony doesn't lie ;) Ah, I'm eyeing up one of those U50's... they look so good (size etc included - thanks for the correction) AND speaking of LHD, going to be working on a clip about LHD watches and hopefully have it prepped by Sunday. As a resident "right wrist wearer" I can give reverse crowns full marks! Have a great start to your weekend sir!
@@ID-Guy Excellent! I look forward to that! I’m currently in the Netherlands near Heerlen in Limburg, so only a couple of hours from Sinn’s site in Frankfurt. I am hoping for a blue U50 this summer and will drive there immediately, but either way am hoping to make it to their showroom soon for a trying on session. You’re absolutely right, once you’re down the rabbit hole there’s no going back! I’m in a Grand Seiko black hole at the moment😣 Have a great weekend sir. I’ll look out for the LHD vid and catch up with you then😉👍
Off subject kind of... I agree with your comment about longines changing minds about chronos. I picked up I master collection bi compax from a partial trade and couldn't believe how much fun I've had with this watch. It's a baby compared to my u2 but somehow fits all well on wrist. Thanks for the video I'm subscribing
For me the 856 UTC would be my top watch from Sinn but I agree an excellent selection. Ps I love the big eye !!! And the new Zulu time looks excellent on the wrist !!!
I don't have a Sinn (yet) but the takeaway from the brand in this case of the examples is clearly function over form, readability, reliability, price (compared to some) and lastly availability. I have to agree with you on the comments on the stainless Bigeye from a fellow owner, a watch that follows the same takeaways of the Sinn models in this video.
What blows me away after looking back at the clip is how diverse the watches manage to be and all belong to the same brand. It's pretty unreal that one company can offer so much that all adhere to the same ethos. It's definitely a brand I want to pay more attention to in the future. And man, Longines and their Big Eye. Rocking it on an 18mm heavy duty nato and it's become my daily all over again ;)
I chose the u50 sdr, had the 104 in white but sold it, I think if I bought the black one I would still have it. Sinn is my favorite brand along with Seiko and I'm looking hard at the 103
My first watch was a 556i but perhaps unusually I went for the black MOP dial as a daily wear. My next one I want from the brand is one of the dress watches with a porcialin dial.
Those porcelain dials are gorgeous. It just keeps blowing me away how much diversity they offer and still manage to create such clean designs that work so well! Thanks for sharing Rouge!
Correct me if I am wrong but aren't Bell & Ross watches made by Sinn. Year ago i was looking at bell and Ross watches cause they reminded me of the old legible gauges in the old WW2 airplane cockpits. So when I looked at Sinn I fell in love. The beautiful flat black matte dial with the outrageous luminous hands drove me crazy. The line weight done so meticulously so that you would not get confused when reading the dial, clutter free. Thanks to IDGuy he made me get so emotional. I can only imagine how good a Sinn would look around my wrist with my black Cape and costume as I drive the batmobile at night. 🥃Cheers mate. Next stop germany on the bat plane for a Sinn.
I have no idea if there is a relationship between the two but looking at the 556a, it's not hard to see the similarities ;) Man but they're good. Bruc - I mean, Batman, Look into finding yourself an EZM 1.1 25th anniversary. That'll be so sleek on your gauntlet (on a black kevlar strap or whatever) Hope the crime fighting is going well sir! (it must be murder on the body)
@@ID-Guy I will have to revisit the Sinn line of watches, I am not far from germany, just a 2 hours drive dresden. I was looking at a watch shop in germany that sells Sinn watches. Would have to call to see if they had a specific model. They do look nice on a black strap or a nato. My crime fighting days are over, just an aging batman now. I hung up the cape and retired but at times i did miss the excitement. So when are you going to design your own watch. Cant wait to see it. Are you going to Basel next year?
@@ID-Guy I had an idea for the hoodies you sell on your website. Use some luminesent paint on the hours markers so they light up at night. That would be very cool.
That U50 SDR is calling to me man... it's going to be in the collection someday (maybe early next year) Damnit, why do they make so many great watches? Good luck with the hunt ;)
Great video, as always! You even got the "Einsatzzeitmesser" 95% correct - which puts your attempt pretty much in 1st place of all English speaking watch UA-camrs. Unglaublich, indeed! 😁
@@ID-Guy Haha, naaah... We're generally aware of the the phonetic intricacies of our language and therefore more than forgiving in that regard. Even a 40% "Einsatzzeitmesser" would have gotten you a high five.^^
Maybe one day you can talk about german barrel case watches. This design was even popular in east Germany. They had produced such watches in Ruhla thuringia. A watch making center that unlike Glashütte had not survived the reunion.Sinn 240, Tutima m2, Archimede Outdoor. They have a military vibe like the Hamilton pilot pioneer.
Excellent video, my choice would a 103 or 140 chronograph, you can find vintage examples of both. Speaking of which the Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster is back from service & I've just wound its Valjoux 23 movement. Now I know what it feels like to be a real man, a versatile man, the sort of man who knows..... 'where the towels are kept' ;-)
Vintage Sinn, they're as rare as hens teeth these days I bet ;) And rock your NG with pride Andrew! There are many trying to be like a Chronomaster, but none quite nail the quirks!
Such an impressive name with so many great watches it's actually hard to keep the conversation straight. Blows me away how a brand can be so focused and constantly deliver quality like this! Thanks as always Theo!
Well, I feel left out, as the owner of a U2 with two time zones. What goes unmentioned is how well it fits with a normal strap, despite the 44 width. It is possibly the toughest GMT you can buy. Until Tudor releases a dual time Pelagos, it is unmatched.
Love the design of the U2 and how the dial has been done (I was absolutely going to include it in the group if it wasn't for the "entry level" part) The legibility of these pieces is just... chefs kiss. And you're right, a Pelagos GMT would be madness!!
@@ID-Guy yes, I realized that after I wrote my comment, the U2 is outside your limit now, it was within limits in 2017, when I bought mine. I asked for the GMT hand to be lumed and they customized it.
Again, Sinn proves that a watch i a tool first and a fashion accessory last. Any of these watches would do well worn with jeans to a suit and tie. Looking at their catalog I love the EZM 1.1S with a silicone strap (swapped out with a NATO).
It blows me away how one brand can offer so many diverse and brilliant designs (all following the same language) It's incredible. Owning the EZM 3F, U50 and 103 I bet I'd still look at more pieces... and those 1.1's, they're living legends. Basically the Grail Sinn for us nerds ;)
@@ID-Guy I agree. They are robust and yet elegant in their simplistic design language. The Para-Rescue watch is another outstanding watch for anyone in the firefighter/EMT occupation.
@@chrisstevenson2622 I've been recommended those pieces to look at. Too damn cool. I swear you could be happy with an all EZM collection ;) Ah, Sinn...
Once again an amazing video from best watch content creator 💪…I would appreciate it, if you could make a video about Sinn‘s competitor Damasko, that the audience is well informed. Damasko has its own inhouse movement (based on ETA architecture) and various interesting patents (ice hardening etc.). Furthermore they are using for their chronographs Lemania movements and testing their watches under hardest conditions. Regards V.
I honestly wish we’d dump the “entry level” tag on watches that cost $2000 USD. It comes across as tone deaf. Value for money? Sure. Otherwise, I enjoyed the video and your content in general. I’ve never owned a Sinn. I really like the white dial 104. I owned a Damasko DC80 which I miss, dearly. Cheers.
The Sinn 104 (White) was my first $1000+ watch and was followed by watches from Fortis, Oris and Tudor. Nevertheless, the Sinn holds up great compared to the Swiss watches and is one of a few watches I will never sell.
I nearly sold my 556a then watched Peter Kotsa’s review about it, and wearing it specifically on the bracelet and it all made sense, it’s a tool in the sense that the Explorer used to be and at the fraction of the cost
Pete makes some of the best Sinn videos around. I freaking love them! His review of the new 1.1 (think I've seen it three times) Ah, they make such good machines. I'm so, so, so tempted to pull the trigger on a U50 when the funds come in. And you're right, all the function of a tool watch that other brands wish they had today!
What is you Favorite Sinn watch in this Category? (Mine has to be the EZM 3f)
U1 “Oreo” with the white dial, black case and black markers. Own this watch and it’s so incredible, fits VERY well for a 44mm, though the slimness of the u50 is niiiice
556 for me
U50
@@JizzyNinja Why brands don't play with negative dials baffles me. It's an even better reinterpretation of 80's design (and works supremely on a model like the U1 / U50) Love it brother!
@@MN-de A strap monster ;)
I know next to nothing about Sinn, thank you for helping me learn.
The 103 dial is a masterclass in typography, the dial is busy, and yet clean and perfectly balanced with none of the visible numbers clipped by the sub dials. The spacing between elements is neat and consistent. Finally, as one can only expect from Sinn - a pilots watch, yet built well enough to be water resistant to 200m.
Man that 103 is class. I honestly thought it was going to be such an overpriced model before doing a bit of research for this video. That Automatik script sells it every time... and WR with these machines... brands should really be taking notice!
The 103 is a masterclass in a busy, cluttered dial. The name above the day/date is absolutely hideous.
Masterclass, what an ass.
My 16 year old Sinn 857 UTC, thanks to its Tegimented hardened steel looks as good as new. The dial is so simple it is timeless. Indeed Sinn manufactured watches for Bell @ Ross when they started, the 556 came first.
My ST104 I one of my favorite pieces. While not the most expensive piece in my collection by far, it’s design and wearability is up there with my higher end watches. Sinn design on every level punches so far above their price point.

I own the U50 with the steel bezel and I absolutely love it. It’s the one watch that I wear the most because it looks unique, is comfortable, and can take a beating.
I’m itching to also get the U50 with the black bezel, it looks so good on that red rubber strap.
Thanks for the video.
Ah! You’re definitely on to one of my favorite brands of watches! Sinn just really gets right so many things that I appreciate in watches. For me, the U1, U50, and UX are my top choices. Brutalist, Minimalist, and yet such precision and quality throughout their designs. I think they are what Rolex was perhaps 60 or 70 years ago. Great video 🥃
It blows my mind how much diversity can be found across the board with this brand... And even though I always eye the EZM's and U50's, man, that 103 is right up there! I'm honestly contemplating selling a few bits and pieces off and picking up a U50 SDR by the end of the year (maybe early next year) Gems, absolute gems! Thanks for taking the time to watch the clip Alvin!
Absolutely love the 556i and the 356, stunning watches.
I agree 100%. My first more expensive watch was a 556i and I love it as much as my bb58. My U50 is such a tank a super flat tank (maybe the thinnest 500m automatic diver in production?). Greetings Oni
Nicely said Oni! Ah and don't tempt me with that U50. I'm eyeing the SDR every week... most definitely the lowest profile 500m diver out there. Blows my mind that the U1 is rated to 1000m! Freaking love the tech behind these machines!
36.25mm Seamaster 300m or U50 and why?
This is one of the most articulate explanation of a time piece I have ever listened to 👍🏻
Me a year ago: I don’t like Sinn. I like Nomos.
Me now: I like Nomos, own one, and now I REALLY like Sinn.
Have been in this hobby for 7 years and never considered Sinn. But after ordering my wife the limited 556 Citrine dial, I now found myself looking at all their models. Such amazing designs!
My favorite Sinn is my 256 TA. I was looking for a Speedmaster, compared the two - and went for the Sinn. A clear winner as I see it!
A couple of years ago I really wanted a 356 but went for the 103. Sold the 103 after 6 months and found a bead blasted 356 with the Valjoux movt last year. Haven't looked back since.
Theres a 356 with valjoux movement? Now, Im very interested
Sinn truly offer something for everyone at a great price point. For me rhe 556a has always been a great alternative to the Rolex Explorer. Have been looking at adding the 105 to the collection but can't make my mind up between the UTC or the 3 hander 😀
A true ode to Sinn's design and function. Thank you, ID Guy!
Ive had a sinn 756 diapal for nearly a decade and still love it. Granted not an entry level Sinn but hardly a scratch on it still after all this time , and it was a daily wear for first 2.5 years
I got a matte 104 a year ago, have worn it every day and it doesn’t have a mark on it. Keeps great time. I’m sold on Sinn for sure.
I very much like your synopsis. My favourites are two Sinn. The EZM 3 and the Sinn SDR GSG 9. (EZM 2B)
I would add the 856 series to your recommendations. A great way to get access to some of the proprietary technologies (Tegimenting, dehumidification, increased resistance to magnetic fields ...) which also make Sinn such a compelling brand, as well as their pilot watch aesthetic..
Once again your passion for this great brand comes through. So many iconic watches to choose from It's a sweetshop .
Personally I own the r500, 556a and u50 mop.
The simplicity of the ezm3f rocks and the ux gsg9 has such an appeal .
Great video and always great to see Sinn getting the respect it deserves.
Enjoyed your review here! My Sinn 104 is my favorite addition to my collection last year.
Thanks for putting Sinn on the map for me. I've seen these watches on other channels, but I saw no real argument for their distinctiveness. Now I find them much more interesting.
I admit that having day and date complications is awfully convenient. I was wearing my Orient Kamasu (red dial) to a professional conference where I did not want to be too flashy or wear something expensive, and I realized the value of these complications. Oddly, they seem less valuable in familiar circumstances
PS: This Orient turns out to be flashier than I remembered, especially in brilliant sunshine.
I have the U50 with the mother-of-pearl dial. It is a pretty special watch with its juxtaposition of the almost dainty dial and brutal design elements. Sometimes I still find myself pining for a regular U50 or some of the other more functional models.
U50 is my absolute favorite diver
It's such a beauty. I have looked at it (in all black) on the Red Strap - The SDR, for days on end wondering if I should pull the trigger... It's going to happen eventually, I can feel it. Incredible that a brand can pull out the stops on a watch like this with an industry that's so saturated with them (pun intended)
I first fell in love with Sinn watches from an add for one back in 1995, I’ve owned two Sinn watches since then and regret that I did pick up the EZM 10 while it was still in production. Great analysis.
That EZM 10 is just power. Raw power! I've seen models like it but NEVER as good as this one... damnit, that's pretty. The pushers integrated into the case? Get out of here... I hope you're still rocking it proudly Ren. What an amazing watch!
not sure if you mean you didn't pick one up or if you actually regret that you did ;) but as an owner of said model i can really recommend it. i have used it exclusively for over a year now despite owning some other pieces i really like too.
I love my Sinn 104 ST White dial... The black is gorgeous with a tuxedo look.
Nice choice brother. I'm a sucker for the 104 with arabics (naturally) It's amazing how one brand offers so much...
Incredible video as always and great choice with the top 5. I think you'd like the Sinn Modell 206 Arktis ii. It is a beast at 43mm but incredible what it achieves.
@@SamrayGTR Thank you m'boy. And I've never seen an ice blue dial like that before from the brand! And those hands... Great shout!
Oh yes, one of my favourite cult brands, I have had a 556i for over a year now and used it traveling with a tropical navy strap and with the bracelet. With a top grade Sellita SW200 that has been regulated in house by Sinn to be within COSC tolerances its such good value for money and I have had many compliments about the look of my watch as they love the look. Moreover, the AR coating on the outside has not scratch on mine like other people claim. I want a 104 or Flieger or U50 dam so many goodies !
Sinn is a cult at this stage, love it ;) Glad you've been rocking your 556 around everywhere you go (feels the same with me an the BigEye, it barely ever leaves the wrist) Thanks for taking the time to watch the clip brother and have a great start to your weekend!
Good video, would like to see profiles of other German brands like Nomos, Glashutte Original, Union Glashutte, Stowa, etc...
The U50 is simply amazing. I will own this watch one day. Just can't decide on silver or black bezel.
Great design is timeless. I'm a huge fan of Sinn design. Hard-boiled, with no sugar! I prefer their 356 and 144 chronos, but also own a EZM3F. At an affordable price-point, the 356 chrono is a fantastic design - outdoing bloated modern IWC for a fraction of the price. For a less tool look, the copper dial variant is an amazing addition to the range - a really fabulous copper guilloche and the multi-link bracelet is very good.
Fantastic summary of Sinn pieces! Truly beautiful works of engineered art!
Great Video as always! :) what do you think about the Sinn 105 St Sa with the black dial? :)
The 103 Ti Diapal is my ultimate tool watch, i hope to buy it within the next 3 years!
If the Pelagos was as thin as the U50, I'd buy one in a heart beat. Progress with the FXD, but that L2L is a stretch for me. Sinn is fire, so much to love. It says something about a brand that has so many category defining pieces. Few, if any, make tools like Sinn.
I know what you mean. The fatter Pelagos cases have never done it for me (always felt too top heavy) But man, the U50 is a case study on how to design a watch. Full stop. I'm yearning for one now at this point (the SDR) That splash of Red with a Rubber strap and Deployant is just...
104 white dial is in my collection. Love it. Great content here...well done. U50 next perhaps...mmmm
this video was extremely well done and earned you a new sub. great job!
I do love the U50. If I was going to buy a Sinn, this would be the one I'd go for.
I have a micro collection of Sinn watches withing my watch collection the 104 in blue and black, the 556 in black, and the 356. They all are accurate and the quality is amazing for the money.
My favorite is the U50, which is the one I got, fully tegimented. Brilliant engineering and design, toughest watch I've ever owned, remarkably comfortable and unobtrusive to wear for the specs. I also have a Tudor FXD, which is very nice, but for heavy duty sports usage, it would be the U50 any day. I am also strongly considering the EZM 3F, whose design is a bit less brutal than the U50, for daily wear at the office.
That green LE 556 is awesome.
That Emerald dial man... such a great colour combo (it would definitely be my choice given the chance)
Before buying the U50 or U1, one should see the UX in person, it is absolutely amazing. There is no distortion of the dial from any angle. I own the 103 and am always amazed at the 200m water resistance that some of my screw down crown watches can't even achieve.
I lived in Germany in 1961 when I was a baby (the year Sinn was started). Looking to forward getting a Sinn one day. Hopefully 2025.
Thank you for "exposing" this brand. I have had a blue 104 on a dark tan leather strap for a couple of years now. Initially, I bought it to be an everyday piece. However, it is so beautiful that I now wear it for dressier occasions. The watch never fails to attract compliments.
Have you ever thought of Fortis? Theirs too is a gorgeous catalogue of tool watches.
Love Sinn. My first quality timepiece was an 856 UTC S and it will always be with me. In the category you created, for me, It’s a toss up between the 103 and the EZM 3F. Both amazing for different reasons. I nearly pulled the trigger on the new 1.1, but after having a coated watch case for some time, the ultimate slight removal of the black coating due to scratches stopped me. Scratches themselves don’t bother me, but I’ve come to realize that bare metal showing through the black coating does. 🤷🏻♂️ If I was a special forces or SWAT team member it would be fine, but I’m just a collector 😂. Still, brilliant, tough, precise tools.
I know what you mean about the unsightly undermetal. But with Sinn I bet its the best DLC in the business (or even better) probably the same kind of coating used on SMG's etc ;) But man, the want to own a Sinn is real for me now. It's a tossup between the 3F or the U50 SDR (I'm digging the Red contrast so much) Ah, thanks for taking the time to watch the clip Lance!
@@ID-Guy Haha I completely understand that “want”. Good luck with your decision. You can’t lose either way. Sidenote- The Tegimented black coating on my Sinn didn’t show even one scratch for the first year, not one, then the edges started shining through in spots. I LOVE the black, but it’s a long term consideration. All the best!
Great video. Love this brand, almost too many to choose from. There’s at least 3 I’d buy.
I feel the same. Could easily go after the EZM 3f, U50 and 103 all at once... It's mad!!
I’ve owned the Big Eye, and I’d have to disagree. While I love the styling of the dial, the case is way too thick for my liking. If it were around 11-12mm thick and 40 mm max in diameter, then it would be a home run for me. Nice video, keep up the good work!
Entry level is obviously subjective.
Great collection from the company.
Previously I had not paid attention to the company.
Absolutely, I wanted to keep it less focused on the pricetag but basically shed light on how excellent their simpler pieces are. It's crazy to see what they offer today (I had no idea how far the depths went either) ;)
What a great video. I'd love one of these but I can't pick between them!
+ 1 on EZM 3, but my first Sinn is a 856 S UTC because Sinn does non-reflective, matte black look so well with black tegimented case and bracelet. And has all the Sinn tech (tegimenting, anti-humidity, anti-magnetism) with UTC time.
Ive had my ezm3 for about a year. It’s an absolute favorite. I wish more manufacturers would do a LHD crown. It’s a great option
That EZM 3 is so damn good and congrats on picking one up! Just decided today that tomorrow I'll be working on a talk all about LHD watches (being a resident right wrister I know the feeling) ;) There are so many benefits to having the crown the other way
@@ID-Guy I have considered buying left hand watches on multiple occasions because of how the crown keeps digging in to my hand, and thought how good the left-handers must have it. I am looking forward to this video and the perspective of a left-hander.
I confess, I owned 6 Sinn’s so far but none of them could convince me as a keeper. But I will try again with a 856UTC one day
We've got to find you the gem. I'm seriously considering a U50 SDR for early next years as a pickup. The contrasting red accents with red rubber is just bonkers and cool at once ;) Oh friend Russell in the comments picked up a 765 UTC and can't get enough of it. Maybe it's that complexity you'd love more? Which is why we love Nivada and all those other quirky machines
I had a fully tegimented u50 but I ultimately returned it. My main issue was that it was painful round my wrist, was quite tight, but would still slide down my wrist. Other minor issues were the glass was difficult to keep clean and I just didn't like the pattern around the bezel. It kind of reminded me of a mushroom sometimes. I did love the dial though. Was difficult to make a decision. Looking to buy a 556i, hopefully for an every day watch.
sinn designs are just great. I’ve been into the watch game for a long time now and it all looks the same. especially young brands struggle with an own-, a unique look. sinn smashed that. you recognize a sinn. although they’re awesome watches.
Great review of an amazing brand. Love my SINN, tegimented and indestructible. 👍 I went from my first German watch being a Dato Lumen back to a SINN so they can certainly hold their own in any arena. Keep up the great work. 🥃
Your 856 UTC!! I'm itching to pick up one at this point (the U50 SDR) And I promise to get back to your messages Russell - it's been a busy few days with logistics ;)
@@ID-Guy I’ve got the slightly more vintage 756 UTC. So many great options.
@@russell996 What an excellent machine... I forgot yours was the chrono! It blows my mind how diverse the brand is. Ah, you're making my deciding even harder!
Sinn is one of the few brands in the market that is positioned perfectly for its core audience. From its distinctly muted utilitarian design, rugged specs, to its fair pricing, Sinn has you covered.
As Sinn was founded fairly recently, it doesn’t have the heritage of other similar German brands like Stowa, Laco, and Hanhart, but it also doesn’t have the baggage that comes with it. Sinn doesn’t have to live in the shadow of famous references, or WW2 associations, and can be nimble enough to dramatically iterate existing model families, and create entirely new models that actually sell, without causing purists to cry foul. This is a remarkably enviable market position for Sinn.
Here’s another tidbit. I was talking to a group of about 5-6 non-watch enthusiasts recently who were just getting into the market for watches. They talked mostly about Omega, Hamilton, Seiko, and Sinn. It was a small sample size, to be fair, but the brand awareness of Sinn appears to be on the rise. Considering I own 4 Sinn’s, it shouldn’t have shocked the hell out of me, but it did.
Thank you for all of this background (as always Flieger) ;) I'm amazed that newcomers are learning about the name! Just goes to show that social platforms have huge benefits when it comes to brand awareness. Amazing! I cannot get over how diverse but uniform all of their pieces are. They have to have one of the most dynamic portfolios (in Europe - I'd say Seiko has Asia) and constantly brings out bangers. Ah, love it. My time to own one will be soon... those U50's are too tempting...
the 103 St Sa is just...unreal. The H Link bracelet with the polished centers is just absolute class. Must own one, one day
Rocking my 556i black dial on H link while watching this video. Good timing as I haven’t worn it in awhile. Great watch.
Want a 104 white dial on H link. Also hoping they make a U50 blue dial as the U1 B is bigger than what I’d like. A U50 B would be loved by many.
The Big Eye was tops of my list until the Speedy 3861 came out. Tried both on at the same time and the Speedy sapphire sandwich stole my heart. Still love the Big Eye but can’t own them all.
Those 556i's (I always think of BMW seeing the reference) Such strap monsters. I'd be rocking it on a grey / black nato ;) It blows me away how diverse of a selection Sinn offers... Ah and the BigEye. Funnily enough, I had to stop myself from picking up a 3861 SS from WoS at the beginning of the year. I know the feeling man... the watch is gorgeous. The BigEye has become that "overbuilt" field watch in the collection, I've been wearing it for everything and it keeps rolling with the punches. Thanks for taking the time to watch the clip brother!
I may have to add the Big Eye down the road because it’s so good. For now, trying to be disciplined and keep my eyes on the prize of the Speedy and save save save.
The 556i is really the only watch I need. It was supposed to be the grail exit watch back in 2018🤣
@@theenavybluemonster The exit watch is a myth I tell you ;) There are too many collectors out there who always come back for another look and "yup, here's another new amazing watch worth a try" haha! Keep saving for the Speedy. An Omega in the collection is the icing on a cake!
Excellent piece, once again. I completely agree with you on the EZM 3F and have been putting off adding it to the collection for some time. I love the LHD, particularly as the crown is sharp and digs into my wrist on my 104 st sa i (same crown and case). A blue U50 will be mine when Sinn release it. Just one thing, you said the diameter of the U1 is 41mm. The U50 is 41mm, with the U1 being 44mm. Other than that, flawless. Just like Sinn’s designs. 🙏😉🥃
Thank you as always Mark! I've been quite blown away seeing how deep the depths of Sinn gets. And owner testimony doesn't lie ;) Ah, I'm eyeing up one of those U50's... they look so good (size etc included - thanks for the correction) AND speaking of LHD, going to be working on a clip about LHD watches and hopefully have it prepped by Sunday. As a resident "right wrist wearer" I can give reverse crowns full marks! Have a great start to your weekend sir!
@@ID-Guy Excellent! I look forward to that!
I’m currently in the Netherlands near Heerlen in Limburg, so only a couple of hours from Sinn’s site in Frankfurt. I am hoping for a blue U50 this summer and will drive there immediately, but either way am hoping to make it to their showroom soon for a trying on session. You’re absolutely right, once you’re down the rabbit hole there’s no going back! I’m in a Grand Seiko black hole at the moment😣
Have a great weekend sir. I’ll look out for the LHD vid and catch up with you then😉👍
Love the U50! Been wanting to get one for years. One of these days perhaps...
Off subject kind of... I agree with your comment about longines changing minds about chronos. I picked up I master collection bi compax from a partial trade and couldn't believe how much fun I've had with this watch. It's a baby compared to my u2 but somehow fits all well on wrist. Thanks for the video I'm subscribing
For me the 856 UTC would be my top watch from Sinn but I agree an excellent selection. Ps I love the big eye !!! And the new Zulu time looks excellent on the wrist !!!
I have the 104 but they’re all great designs…the EZM is also a beauty
I love sinn and your videos, well done.
Thank you for taking the time to watch the clip Matthew!
Excellent video, very informative thank you 🙏 subscribed
I don't have a Sinn (yet) but the takeaway from the brand in this case of the examples is clearly function over form, readability, reliability, price (compared to some) and lastly availability. I have to agree with you on the comments on the stainless Bigeye from a fellow owner, a watch that follows the same takeaways of the Sinn models in this video.
What blows me away after looking back at the clip is how diverse the watches manage to be and all belong to the same brand. It's pretty unreal that one company can offer so much that all adhere to the same ethos. It's definitely a brand I want to pay more attention to in the future. And man, Longines and their Big Eye. Rocking it on an 18mm heavy duty nato and it's become my daily all over again ;)
A big fan of the U Series, it's in my bucket list.
I chose the u50 sdr, had the 104 in white but sold it, I think if I bought the black one I would still have it. Sinn is my favorite brand along with Seiko and I'm looking hard at the 103
The watches look even better in the flesh. There's an AD near me and I think my next purchase will be a Sinn. Cool watches.
My first watch was a 556i but perhaps unusually I went for the black MOP dial as a daily wear. My next one I want from the brand is one of the dress watches with a porcialin dial.
Those porcelain dials are gorgeous. It just keeps blowing me away how much diversity they offer and still manage to create such clean designs that work so well! Thanks for sharing Rouge!
The one in particular I love is the Uhren 1746 in blue. Shame that there is literally nobody talking about them on UA-cam at all.
Great video! I have a Sinn 206 ARKTIS II, which is a beautiful watch. Would love to see your take on it, not too much on yt on this model.
Slipping in the FXD 🤔, Easter egg on your recent Tudor purchase??
Not at all Underachieving! I just think it's nicely designed ;) ...
Mmm yes indeed intriguing!
I have a 104 i in black with a grey Colareb strap. It just works for me.
If I could get a matte version in UK I would buy that too.
Correct me if I am wrong but aren't Bell & Ross watches made by Sinn. Year ago i was looking at bell and Ross watches cause they reminded me of the old legible gauges in the old WW2 airplane cockpits. So when I looked at Sinn I fell in love. The beautiful flat black matte dial with the outrageous luminous hands drove me crazy. The line weight done so meticulously so that you would not get confused when reading the dial, clutter free. Thanks to IDGuy he made me get so emotional. I can only imagine how good a Sinn would look around my wrist with my black Cape and costume as I drive the batmobile at night. 🥃Cheers mate. Next stop germany on the bat plane for a Sinn.
I have no idea if there is a relationship between the two but looking at the 556a, it's not hard to see the similarities ;) Man but they're good. Bruc - I mean, Batman, Look into finding yourself an EZM 1.1 25th anniversary. That'll be so sleek on your gauntlet (on a black kevlar strap or whatever) Hope the crime fighting is going well sir! (it must be murder on the body)
@@ID-Guy I will have to revisit the Sinn line of watches, I am not far from germany, just a 2 hours drive dresden. I was looking at a watch shop in germany that sells Sinn watches. Would have to call to see if they had a specific model. They do look nice on a black strap or a nato. My crime fighting days are over, just an aging batman now. I hung up the cape and retired but at times i did miss the excitement. So when are you going to design your own watch. Cant wait to see it. Are you going to Basel next year?
@@ID-Guy I had an idea for the hoodies you sell on your website. Use some luminesent paint on the hours markers so they light up at night. That would be very cool.
The 356 is on the shortlist for me but also really want the U50 and 105 UTC
That U50 SDR is calling to me man... it's going to be in the collection someday (maybe early next year) Damnit, why do they make so many great watches? Good luck with the hunt ;)
@@ID-Guy U50 SDR fully tegemented. Seen one after 10 years with no a single scratch, incredible.
Great video, as always! You even got the "Einsatzzeitmesser" 95% correct - which puts your attempt pretty much in 1st place of all English speaking watch UA-camrs. Unglaublich, indeed! 😁
Damnit... Well hey, 95%... I'll take it ;) Thought the German speakers in the audience would get a kick out of me butchering your language hahaha!
@@ID-Guy Haha, naaah... We're generally aware of the the phonetic intricacies of our language and therefore more than forgiving in that regard. Even a 40% "Einsatzzeitmesser" would have gotten you a high five.^^
@@Konsaliki I feel I didn't hit the "Eins" and "Zzeit" with enough tack ;) I'm determined to get this right. Thank you again brother!
Maybe one day you can talk about german barrel case watches. This design was even popular in east Germany. They had produced such watches in Ruhla thuringia. A watch making center that unlike Glashütte had not survived the reunion.Sinn 240, Tutima m2, Archimede Outdoor. They have a military vibe like the Hamilton pilot pioneer.
Excellent video, my choice would a 103 or 140 chronograph, you can find vintage examples of both. Speaking of which the Nivada Grenchen Chronomaster is back from service & I've just wound its Valjoux 23 movement. Now I know what it feels like to be a real man, a versatile man, the sort of man who knows..... 'where the towels are kept' ;-)
Vintage Sinn, they're as rare as hens teeth these days I bet ;) And rock your NG with pride Andrew! There are many trying to be like a Chronomaster, but none quite nail the quirks!
@@ID-Guy Thankyou! I was thinking of late 1980s to early 1990s, so maybe more neo vintage than vintage!
Witch Sinn to buy? Around 3k, 41 mm or smaller. Tegiment? Black hard coated? Thinking EZM3 or U50. What do you recommend?
I was at the Sinn boutique in Frankfurt last week wearing the 356. It's really a nice watch, but I don't see it rivaling my U50 MOP
Great job again. Sinn remains a wonderful company. A real tool watch maker. 🥃
Such an impressive name with so many great watches it's actually hard to keep the conversation straight. Blows me away how a brand can be so focused and constantly deliver quality like this! Thanks as always Theo!
Well, I feel left out, as the owner of a U2 with two time zones. What goes unmentioned is how well it fits with a normal strap, despite the 44 width. It is possibly the toughest GMT you can buy. Until Tudor releases a dual time Pelagos, it is unmatched.
Love the design of the U2 and how the dial has been done (I was absolutely going to include it in the group if it wasn't for the "entry level" part) The legibility of these pieces is just... chefs kiss. And you're right, a Pelagos GMT would be madness!!
@@ID-Guy yes, I realized that after I wrote my comment, the U2 is outside your limit now, it was within limits in 2017, when I bought mine. I asked for the GMT hand to be lumed and they customized it.
@@pedromanuellopez142 I had no idea Sinn even did that kind of work on request! That is amazing! The praise this brand is getting blows me away Pedro.
Sinn 104 blue dial. It's centered and perfectly balanced.
...and the U2? I Love and enjoy it since 2010
Again, Sinn proves that a watch i a tool first and a fashion accessory last. Any of these watches would do well worn with jeans to a suit and tie. Looking at their catalog I love the EZM 1.1S with a silicone strap (swapped out with a NATO).
It blows me away how one brand can offer so many diverse and brilliant designs (all following the same language) It's incredible. Owning the EZM 3F, U50 and 103 I bet I'd still look at more pieces... and those 1.1's, they're living legends. Basically the Grail Sinn for us nerds ;)
@@ID-Guy I agree. They are robust and yet elegant in their simplistic design language. The Para-Rescue watch is another outstanding watch for anyone in the firefighter/EMT occupation.
@@chrisstevenson2622 I've been recommended those pieces to look at. Too damn cool. I swear you could be happy with an all EZM collection ;) Ah, Sinn...
@@ID-Guy they would be perfect for the Air Force Para-Rescue.
Love my U50!!
EZM all the way. My favourite watch
Once again an amazing video from best watch content creator 💪…I would appreciate it, if you could make a video about Sinn‘s competitor Damasko, that the audience is well informed. Damasko has its own inhouse movement (based on ETA architecture) and various interesting patents (ice hardening etc.). Furthermore they are using for their chronographs Lemania movements and testing their watches under hardest conditions. Regards V.
How does the Longines Big Eye compare to Sinn's 103 St Sa (traditional pilot chronograph), which looks quite similar?
I honestly wish we’d dump the “entry level” tag on watches that cost $2000 USD. It comes across as tone deaf. Value for money? Sure. Otherwise, I enjoyed the video and your content in general. I’ve never owned a Sinn. I really like the white dial 104. I owned a Damasko DC80 which I miss, dearly. Cheers.
Thanks for dressing up for the video
The Sinn 104 (White) was my first $1000+ watch and was followed by watches from Fortis, Oris and Tudor. Nevertheless, the Sinn holds up great compared to the Swiss watches and is one of a few watches I will never sell.
i think Sinn are amazing VFM, but just wished they had a few options on losing that tiny date window on their divers
Sin. Are absolutely amazing but I just don't know at that price why they don't do applied marker
Oh man these are strap monsters, the U50 on an olive green NATO strap works.
Such beauties. I hope I did them justice with the final Five chosen ;)
The UX is free from any reflection under water (!) due to their hydro technology. To my understanding that can only be done with quartz movements.
Tim Mosso is in the corner pleasuring himself to this video.
🤣🤣
Phahaha! Classic. Our man Tim needs one of these 25th Anni 1.1's... I can't imagine him with another watch at this point ;)
I want the 556 with the opal face
I nearly sold my 556a then watched Peter Kotsa’s review about it, and wearing it specifically on the bracelet and it all made sense, it’s a tool in the sense that the Explorer used to be and at the fraction of the cost
Pete makes some of the best Sinn videos around. I freaking love them! His review of the new 1.1 (think I've seen it three times) Ah, they make such good machines. I'm so, so, so tempted to pull the trigger on a U50 when the funds come in. And you're right, all the function of a tool watch that other brands wish they had today!
What about a video on the new T50 fella
