I recently bought my first Sinn, the 756 UTC Diapal. I must say that this German brand offer some great tool watches. After having experienced the 756 for a while I can now imagine how the early Rolex owners must have felt wearing the classic Rolex tool watches.

Some pics here:

Thanks for viewing.

Very nice! Congrats! Also, those are some fantastic pictures, you have skill!

Incurable · 20 November 2007, 05:28 PM

Owning a 356 Sa, I can appreciate your appreciation of the Sinn brand... I'm currently eyeing a 103 Ti Ar. Not sure another watch is on my agenda but... it never hurts to look, right? Congratulations and enjoy your new Sinn...

Danny,

Your photographic skills are indeed most admirable. And that's one fine looking watch.

Cheers - JJ

dannytam · 20 November 2007, 06:44 PM

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Pat,
The 356 is a classic. Great choice.

flumazenil · 21 November 2007, 05:40 AM

Nice watch. Does Sinn use an ETA or in house movement?

Incurable · 21 November 2007, 12:12 PM

ETA but... they only use Grade 4 movements according to Watchbuys. Check out THIS link and look at pages 151-> of their catalog for more technical specs on Sinn Watches.

Mrdi · 21 November 2007, 12:14 PM

I have a 356.
Outstanding watch!!

mikey · 21 November 2007, 12:27 PM

Looks like a well made watch. Great!

The 756 Diapal is powered by a Valjoux 7750 workhorse which has been modified to use Sinn's proprietary frictionless escapement system which does not require lubrication. In principle it is similar to the Omega Co-axial movement but without the hefty price tag.

Danny what happened ?
Did you run out of Rolexes to buy ?
You are getting a serious watch collection.....What brand is next ?

jhowton · 22 November 2007, 07:20 AM

I am a Sinn fan too, here are mine:

757UTC, 356 and 956

They are very good watches.

SPACE-DWELLER · 22 November 2007, 11:05 AM

I like SINN watches, too!

The epitome of German craftsmanship!

Please post a lume shot of your 756 UTC Diapal!

Hi Peter,
Blame it on the US sub prime crisis. My portfolio has taken a real beating recently.

Actually I do have a couple of Omega Speedmaster Pros in my collection so my focus is not totally on Rolex and Sinn's functional approach to watch design really appeals to me. So I will definitely be committing more Sinns in the near future.

Thanks, here's a shot or two of it on the Tegimented (Case hardened) bracelet:

One nice think about the Tegimented Sinns is that they are very resistant to scratching.

Ed Rooney · 24 November 2007, 01:53 AM

Very nice.
