A few years ago I was looking for a serious rough duty watch & a friend recommended Sinn. I loved the story & intent of the watches. It was definitely the watch I wanted. The U50 had just been released but I went with a preowned U1. The U50 likely would be more wearable daily, but the U1 was the original. I own a Speedy & 2 Rolex. But $1,900 US for a 2 year old U1, fully tegemented..... Maybe my best purchase of all my watches
What a great thumbnail experiment! It doesn’t even have your name on it and clicked on it as soon as I saw it. Your yellow color way is absolutely perfect. The brushed case with black bezel is quite distinctive by itself. The white surrounding the yellow square on the second hand makes the square pop even more. The yellow strap pulls everything together beautifully. Sinn should take careful note of your proposed design. They could easily outdo Doxa if they tried.
I hope Sinn will listen to you. I addition to yellow, I’d like to see a bright orange as well! As you’ve mentioned, there is so much potential waiting to be realized. I’m really excited that you made this video. Thanks for all your excellent work!!!
@@ID-Guy Fingers crossed for that. It reminds me a bit of that AquaTerra they did with the black and yellow second hand - absolutely fantastic industrial-style look.
@@ProfessorPesca I nearly pulled the trigger on a "too good to be true" deal 2 years ago... kinda wish I had... those >15000 gauss models are amazing!! Great recall of that seconds hand!
@@ID-Guy Cheers mate, and not to suck up to you too much but thanks for your videos. I really enjoy your thoughtful comments that go beyond just reciting the measurements of a piece that lots do. Have a good one.
Yellow and black ! Nature’s warning colours. This Community doesn’t fully appreciate how talented you truly are . SURELY one of the Maison’s will Snap you up sooner rather than later ;)
And the crazy thing... I hadn't even made the renders or put the thumbnail together yet. Goes to show that sometimes expectations and reality can be equal 😆 Appreciate it as always brother 🥃
So glad to see a Braun alarm clock given a shout! Waking me up since the '80s... U50 not my bag, just too Minecraft, but yellow definitely a suitably German replacement for Red. Though I'd expect it up against grey, rather than black: keeping the modernist without straying to wasp! Personally, I'd keep it monochrome white - I hear tell that selling yellow product to men is a challenge!
Braun and their alarms 😉 Great remark about Yellow being difficult to sell. It's definitely a context thing. The yellow could evoke lots of "old school" aqualung emotions. But compared to Black, Blue, Green... it's quite niche haha! 🥃
I feel Sinn occupies a very special place among enthusiasts, truly nothing else looks like them at all - they are 'unmistakably Sinn'. I had a chance meeting microbrand Mitch Mason founder Benedict Ong once, and on his wrist was unmistakeably a Sinn 556.
Amazing video, and idea! Not only is Sinn one of my favourite brands. But they do listen. The EZM 13 in forums was spoken on! Also a video was done by Click Spring with an idea to remove the numbers for a cleaner look. Months later Sinn discontinued the EZM 13. And dropped the EZM13.1. Which I purchased immediately. The piece look's amazing and is my favourite in the collection. I also brought the limited edition of 500. U1 Ds slate grey metal dial with white and black hands! Completely changes the look from the red and white. And looks more professional. So I see what you mean, in your opinion in the yellow. Luv your Sinn videos when you do them! You and Click Spring! Have got the best Sinn videos on You Tube bar none!!👍🏾
I saw the picture and went immediatly to the sinn website,… no new releases… then i watched the clip. 😂 Great design! Personally, i’m saving for the 3006, no watch like it (and i like it).
That 3006...what an amazing machine... also sorry for the disappointment 😆 It goes to show that at least there's one person interested in the colour change! 🥃
Welcome to my army, sir! I've been harassing Sinn for a long time now to produce the U50t-b; a blue U50 in the U1 blue. This yellow is stunning. I much prefer your idea of leaving the dial black and changing the hands/accents. I really hope they're listening as the U50 line could be so much more. They will see this video, by the way. I'll make sure of that! I'll be going back to the factory soon, too. I'd be very surprised if we didn't see some more colour options coming through this summer. Cheers to you as always, my friend. I hope you're managing to keep your your head up. 🥃😉
Thought it was a legit new model. IDGuy you are a fantastic designer. Many brands would do well to hire you! Happy 2023. Ps. You just needed to shift the crown to 3pm also 😊
I absolutely detested this watch, with it's lego/video game Minecraft aesthetic, when I'd see it in photos. It looked liked a toy designed by a child. But that all changed when I was able to try one on in person, and fell in love with it. In the metal, it all makes sense! One thing you didn't mention is just how THIN it is. Along with the 4 o'clock crown, it is ridiculously comfortable. A yellow & black colorway would be amazing! You forgot to include a Porsche Design address for Moser to send the checks to LOL
You nailed it with that pop of color! Most Sinn watches don’t appeal to me due to the stark black and white, whereas their watches that have an accent color (or their new LE colored dials) are much more attractive.
I agree this looks awesome in yellow but I am now hesitant of Sinn and their sellita movements after originally thinking they were bullet proof. I have a EZM3 diver that is only a year and 1/2 old that the movement has completely locked up on. I loved how slim and comfortable this 500m diver wore but after winding the other day the rotor seized to the crown and now spins when winding. I’m in the process of sending to have serviced which isn’t easy in the states. It is seldom worn being the beater in a 7/8 watch rotation 🤷♂ I just picked up a seiko king turtle with the grenade dial to take its place for now
Hi Steve, I'm told that your movement issue can be a problem with the SW2XX movements, but isn't a problem with the SW3XX series. My U50 has been fine. Good luck with sorting this out.
I went for a pelagos LHD for my diver, but my pilot/chronograph is a Sinn 756 and I love it even 8-9 years later. The splash of bright colour on dial and strap in your rendering looks amazing though.
Great job; your yellow interpretation would be quite a unique dive watch. U50 is on my list - I have it bookmarked on the US authorized dealer’s site. But like all GER brands, I just can’t see the value for price - 15-20% lower, easy purchase. Maybe if I don’t get the call from Rolex I’ll give up and buy 1.
Yellow on black is a killer combo on the U50. Any chance of a video looking at another great German brand Muhle Glashutte? Especially on their SAR Rescue Timers, some of the most distinct and functional tool watches on the market. As always keep up the great work.
The UX should have been paired with technology like the Citizen eco-drive. The idea of having to return a UX to the Sinn factory every 3-5 years for a battery change is absurd. Great technology but realization is not 100%
@@cedarcanoe The first battery on my UX lasted seven years.The batteries on those light-powered watches must also be replaced after some time (10 years?). So there would not be that much of a difference between the intervals. I am in the lucky position to just walk to Sinn's own store. So I may be biased.
Nice to have some quartz - super accurate and no worries about power reserve. Batteries on my Seiko 7c46’s have lasted 7 years and counting. Hope my UX does the same. In any case, a few weeks away for a battery swap is no biggie. The viewing angle is ridiculously cool😂.
Ulysse Nardin used to produce a Maxi Marine Diver in Signal Yellow. From Time to time you can still find one online. The Yellow is eyecatching and visually pleasing. I think a U1/U50 in that colorcombination would definitly sell in the current market.
I love this watch. I wanted to buy one but there are 3 things that were a turn off for that price. 1: the terrible lume, 2: the generic Sellita SW300, 3: the bezel action. I hope to see some in house antimagnetic movement with better lume and I would love it. Great video! I am subbed.
Sinn servicing is already expensive and if you add that fancy In-house you get Laser calibration silicon components from factory and after 15 years it would be a nightmare to service or say 50 years later. Longevity is way forward for a timepiece. Swiss industry forced this nonsense. Rather, get a COSC Glucydur balance wheel SW330 Diver than a Fancy 6K diver. Lume is longer but not sharp. Bracelet is another actual scope of improvement.
Oh man... what a concept! I have a Tegemented U50 on a bracelet and it's one of those products that's greater than the sum of its parts. But that yellow and black: WOW!!! It had me visiting the Sinn website (again), but in vain 😢. Sinn after sales service in the UK is excellent, and their watches are, in my view, a good ownership proposition. Thanks for this Mr Guy, you're on fire right now! 😀🍻
A couple months back I made a video about the best "entry level" Sinn's and the 556i & 104 were first on the list. Love them. Also really dig Sinn's bracelets. They make for amazing daily's 🥃
@@ID-Guy 105 is good but the 856 and 857 utc(s) really knock it out of the park for me. The only thing that has held me back from the 856 is the lack of a countdown bezel. If the U50 can add that, it’s a go for me and a very stromatolites only watch contender for many imo. But Sinn needs to watch it’s pricing as the market isn’t very supportive now as it was in the last 2-3 years, and pure tool pieces always struggle at 3k plus price point
Very nice lecture. At the same time I almost automatically had to think of another manufacturer that produces at least as interesting instrument watches, namely Mühle Glashütte: SEA-TIMER BLACKMOTION + S.A.R. RESCUE TIMER
You did get me with that color, lol. It's such a perfect color for a diver. Sinn does seem to dabble a bit with the color, they made a limited edition blue dial which I love. They do have an opportunity to exercise some different colorways, it didn't hurt Doxa. :)
@@ID-Guy It really looks good. I happen to like yellow anyway, and am now looking at Doxa and their yellow watches as well. This watch liking is getting too much!
You nail it every time. Now again. I really hope that one (or more) of your design suggestions will make it through (you already succeeded once with the Commando, I know). Sinn has a primary approach for readability of their dials. But like many outstanding German engineering, color is not one of their strengths. I see the same with an outstanding technically superb brand like Habring2: most of their dial choices and colors are hard to live with (at least for me). Yellow would fit the U1 & U50 perfectly. I would by a U50 with yellow accents instantly if it were to be released. Thanks for the video!
@@roelvandenbergen611 correct (ik heb zelf een Erwin Lab02). I was generalizing the fact that german (speaking) countries are aces on engineering but no so much on colors and dedign.
The Sinn U50 is the Mercedes G Wagon of dive watches. The HK MP5 of the deep. The Adidas Copa Mundial of the abyss. I could go on but I'll stop right there 😁 I geek out whenever I see an "over-engineered" watch, so it makes perfect sense for the U50 to use a yellow spot color because of its visibility in the dark. Sinn should at least acknowledge this vid once they do release a U Series with yellow hands 👍. Better yet, they should send you a complimentary piece with "IDGuy" engraved on the caseback to show they're listening to customers/enthusiasts. Cheers 🍺
Hello, have you had a look at the son of the Porsche Design, the titanium IWC Aquatimer GST from the late nineties? Its very underrated but my favorite diver ever.
The colour and watch itself was interesting, but what made me click on it was the fact that IDGuy made the video. Keep up with the great content. Sinn watches are interesting too. They are almost a modern take on the military diver; vs perhaps a CWC.
A brilliant watch and the one that gets most of my wrist time. I agree that it would look great with a splash of yellow. Ps- this watch also looks great on a nato and thus gives you load of strap/colour options to play with too 👍.
The u50b sold out in days the 2 times they released a batch. The u50p sold out in a day or two, I have both. The yellow u50 would too. I'd be first in line.
Can you review Citizen Promaster BN0151 and BN0150? I think it is one of the best dive watch designs that is much better than a lot of luxurious brands.
This colour has been in my head for about 3 months and it's amazing how well it appears on screen! The designers life... wishing for things and making something look tangible 😆 Thank you Brian! 🥃
@@ID-Guy Such a great point about the over saturation of blue and red in watch design! Sadly do not see it fading away anytime soon. Thanks for the great content! 🍻
Yellow accents would look amazing, as would all white. Often thought of getting one of these, but just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. A D-Sub Damasko floats my boat, too or should I say floats my U-Boat?

The colour and watch itself was interesting, but what made me click on it was the fact that IDGuy made the video. Keep up with the great content. Sinn watches are interesting too. They are almost a modern take on the military diver; vs perhaps a CWC.
I love your videos! That is all.
Great idea!
A side question about the Longines strap choices. Why do you choose to use a undersize strap?
A brilliant watch and the one that gets most of my wrist time. I agree that it would look great with a splash of yellow. Ps- this watch also looks great on a nato and thus gives you load of strap/colour options to play with too 👍.
I own a U1 ... I think it would look astounding in yellow!!
0:00 this is correct, yes!
Yes, great suggestion.
I love my U1T and the my original U212,
The red was the part of the watch I was not fond of. I preferred the professional model with more black, but it looks great with the yellow.
Thanks @IDGuy, the yellow is an interesting option. Orange would be a good option as well. Cheers from Montana. 👍⌚🍷🥃
its the yellow on the H link bracelet and the black nato that does it for me
01:31 Nice, keep it up!
The u50b sold out in days the 2 times they released a batch. The u50p sold out in a day or two, I have both. The yellow u50 would too. I'd be first in line.
I’d buy it
You tricked me in and I actually would buy the U50 in yellow meanwhile the current classic one in red makes me to say...Meeh!
Sucks to say it, but after making up my mind about the Yellow... I look at the red combo and think "it's okay"... not good 😆🥃
Can you review Citizen Promaster BN0151 and BN0150? I think it is one of the best dive watch designs that is much better than a lot of luxurious brands.
Thank you.
I agree w you. Also check Damasko. They made cases for Sinn. They are also awesome.
I clicked because I search “sinn u50” on UA-cam at least twice a day.
Color - click - correct!
This colour has been in my head for about 3 months and it's amazing how well it appears on screen! The designers life... wishing for things and making something look tangible 😆 Thank you Brian! 🥃
@@ID-Guy Such a great point about the over saturation of blue and red in watch design! Sadly do not see it fading away anytime soon. Thanks for the great content! 🍻
Love the Yellow. Wouldn't a strong light blue look equally nice like a sharp daylight lumen blue?
I wish Sinn would make the 556 in a 40mm size. I would buy one immediately
Amazing how a few tweaks to watch sizes makes all the difference 🥃
Right on.
Yellow accents would look amazing, as would all white. Often thought of getting one of these, but just haven’t pulled the trigger yet. A D-Sub Damasko floats my boat, too or should I say floats my U-Boat?
Deeply agree
Thank you brother 🥃
