Sinn 103 SA B E

Has anyone picked up one of these beauties yet? Been agonising over it. Keen to hear first hand experience and any wrist shots

Sharp watch. Looks like my IWC chronoflieger 3706(?). Like the blue.

Every Basel pic I've seen looks amazing. Just want to see a photo of it out in the sun, as opposed to indoor pics. The nearest dealer is 1.5 hour drive away and I can't get there til Saturday.

Did you call to see if they have it? The one US dealer (Watchbuys) is sold out.

Sinn SA BE

I got mine in August - originally with the blue strap as it was last one they had. Have just switched to the tan strap and it looks far better - blue with blue is a bit too much blue for me.

very pleased so far - its keeping all my other watches off my wrist. I'll post a picture when I have reached the 10 post minimum.

That will help. What strap are you thinking?

Looking at the H metal band, with the aged leather as a second strap. Heading off shortly to go check it out.

Wasn't completely sure of the dial until I took it outside. Then I knew it was a winner. Just previewing these photos made me panic there was a scratch on the glass. Mustve been a dust spec because in the box she is perfect. Got it on metal and got a leather strap as well. They have 3 of them in stock too if anyone is after one. Thrilled with this addition. My first Sinn. My girlfriend says she likes it more than my Hulk.... Noooooo

good choice

Looks great in those shots. I'll post some when I am allowed. I have a hulk as well funnily enough - its not seeing much action at the moment.

My first Sinn too - just need a nice project in Frankfurt so I can sheck out their shop in the city centre. I can see an impulse purchase coming.

Funny you say that. I'm surprised how much heavier and taller the Sinn is compared to the LV
