Sinn U2

Just picked up a Sinn U2.

Very nice bit of kit. First impressions -

The white markers and hands are really really bright white.
The fit and finish is superb. Love the bead blasted case. Bezel has nice action.
Bracelet is very heavy, smooth, comfortable and uses screw pins. It had solid end links. Clasp works well, but is not interesting really.
The rubber strap is superb. The clasp is so well finished, it looks like it has been machined rather than stamped. It's the nicest rubber strap I have seen in a while.
It's a big heavy watch, lots of wrist presence, if you have been on the fence, buy it!
I have always admired the U1 but didn't like the hands.

Lovely,I like the Sinns. The U series seems utterly bombproof as well.
