I do like the G-shock but it lack the history and look of this one

A few people have said and maybe it could be a thing, I personally like it myself

There are so many other options at this price point

@ perhaps but it boils down to personal taste aesthetically, how well a watch is built, etc. Seikos higher level lines of watches like the SLA and SRQ’s offer excellent build and finish at their price points IMO. More desirable than Longines, Hamilton, and others but not quite on par with Omega, Breitling, Zenith, etc. Bought the SRQ053 reverse panda version of this watch preowned mint today as my first chrono and look forward to receiving it early next week.

They are ones which do it for me

I do like a varied selection watches it has to be said, I like your idea of a clear case back 👍🏻

Anytime matey I was amazed just how visible the display was in normal lighting conditions without having to push the button

I do like the Squale titanium but the U1 is more iconic and has better bracelet and silicone strap options

@ClickSpringReview the sinn would U say it better made when U got a hold of them both or r Thay the same? . An yes Ur right the sinn is a legend!

The U1 just feels so solid and has its now unique look, it maybe bigger but is slimmer and the lug to lug is almost the same, I'd take the U1 personally, its only down side is the bezel action isn't as good as the Squale is

Can I ask Ur advice ? I got a new U boat chimera brand new some people say new watchs need a month break in ? Is that true after a week it was 1 minute fast. So stop it for a minute then started it back up now 10 seconds. I'm confused as my sinn an Damasko an Tudor were sweet! But bremont an breitling fast . 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I'd say normally after one day it should be ok if its only 10s that sounds about right for a U-Bout a demagnetiser may but only bring it down a little or if you don't wear it at night try leaving it crown on it side that may slow it down a second or two, bremont and breitling should both be less than 6s a day if they aren't try a demagnetiser

Its the keep of watch I want but not sure how much I'd wear it

Cheers for the info 👍🏻

No it isn't really is it

The crystal sticks out so far it should protect bezel Bob 😆

Yeah its not what the do best thats for sure, but this is pretty funky H77845330

Oops I need to change that , ps I love your reasoning :)

Fair play I thought it ceramic shame thanks for the heads up

I completely agree with the this watch is a bargain

Polishing is easy to brush out of you wanted, its the other way round which is a problem

@ClickSpringReview are you suggesting I spend this much on a watch and then "fix it"? 😁

I'm saying spend the money on the watch and customize it to your liking , I'm a watchmaker and do this type of stuff all the time for people

@@ClickSpringReview I'm not spending money on watches that have design flaws in that price range. There is an incredible amount of idiosyncrasy in the watch world. And it seems that those on the inside cannot see the woods for the trees.

some people prefer polished and would say the same if it was brushed

I like the date window as it doesn't mess up the 3 o'clock hour marker

Cheers Sir every collection should have a Tuna :) ps I sold my SLA023 to fund my Sinn 144 Anniversary type 2

Cheers Kashdon 👍🏻

I think I got mine by swapping a Seiko MM200 Great Blue Hole for it back in 2021 and I serviced it myself earlier this year

Tough one but I do prefer the looks of this one

The problem is they can't use the ETA movement out of the UX, I can only guess ETA is still under license to provide it for the UX as that model is now around 16 years old. Apart from Seiko I don't anyone else makes a HAQ movement which would fit the case

@ There are HAQ movements out there. If they can’t get one develop their own, if they can’t do that don’t be charging £2800 for the watch. It’s just not good enough to out a £20 movement in a near £3k piece. Not to mention having to send it back after 5 or so years for £300 just to get a battery. No it’s just not good enough for Sinn.

I don't of any other guys how make a HAQ movements which can with stand being placed in oil myself and company like TAG use movement which cost around the same price in many of their watches. remember the UX movement isn't that expensive either. The battery in my UX lasts around 7/9 years but is only rated at 5 years like the this one , So that works out at less than £40 a year for a full service on one of the deepest capable going dive watches in the world. I have a Breitling which has a ETA 2824 fitted in side it the watch RRP was £3 and get has a 2824 movement in it, the starting price of that movement is around £150. They say it needs servicing every 3 years, a complete service costs £460 so in 9 years that works out to £1380 vs around £250/300 for the Sinn

@ Point out something more expensive doesn’t make the other thing good value. Especially when you use Breitling as your comparator. It’s a cheap movement in an expensive watch. That has not changed. 10/y accuracy should be the benchmark for any quartz piece that costs £3k. Get a better movement or make the watch cheaper.

Ok what about Grand Seiko with their 9f movements start at £2.1k and go to £4k the battery lasts about 2/3 and costs £100 to service. The Sinn service isn't just dropping in a new battery, there are only 2 machines in the world which can do it correctly and it takes time to do this, I believe its about an hour just the get the oil right before that the movement has to be cleaned and checked. Being a watchmaker I know the true prices of many of the movements used in watches and it is what it is. Some UX owners get close to 10 years this can depend on the temperature where you life.

I got banned from reviewing Grand Seiko after I was negative about the clasp turns the rep seen this and ask I didn't review them again 🙄

@@ClickSpringReview I actually have GS SD GMT and like it a lot, except the stupid bezel GMT click issue. Has been running for almost 8 years at +0.15 sec/day... I tried to contact them about the bezel and the arrogant answer was something like "We do not take design advice from outsiders". And sorry, you did wonder about the strange clicks but did not dig quite deep enough. I also have the compact quartz GS GMT with fixed 24 hour bezel, that finds most time on my wrist out of my collection. By the way, nobody except my 3 year old granddaughter has noticed my GS watches... She asked about the extra red hand on it. My wife did once pick up the SD version, looked at it and just said "Seiko", as it is the older model. Close call...

I'm at the BCU's School of Jewellery in the Jewellery Quarter studying Watch & Clockmaker Sam What are you studying ps here is my review of the Frog Man :) th-cam.com/video/Nw5a-8NIGMQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9BCQxIhvra3rfEC9

Yes I believe it can

Hes a real nice chap to chat to but it's never a short conversation :)

@ 🤣🤣 true!

@@Timjacks01 😂

I think I prefer the Seiko 🫣

Yes its true I did say that in the comments to somebody 👍🏻

Cheers Sir :) this model is more a new MM200 the new MM300 SLA079 is still available but unfortunately I think it still uses the 8L35 movement which could do with a update being it still takes a hole hour to change the date

The DA36 as you say is a cool model like so many of theirs but they just need an affordable bracelet option, I should check to see if the Sinn H-link fitted it

To be fair you have a point there

Its actually a big seller for Hamilton lol

Its not a bad watch but there are just so many cool watches available at this price point

Don't worry Bob I have lots of reviews stacked up including Laco Sinn Junghams, and new Brands like unimatic and crafter blue and many more

@ClickSpringReview 👍

7.25 inch

Its just so like able isn't it

Who is Johnny Sinn ?

Thank you Andrew that good of you chap, Im always here if you need to know anything watch related 👍🏻

It is a beautiful looking movement sir

​@@ClickSpringReview absolutely gorgeous.

Its not something I'd buy myself

I'd like to think you could be right but...

Indeed. There’s not even a lume pip on the bezel…

It could look better on a funky red silicone strap

Yeah not sure why they didn't fit one after all it is a scuba model

Thats maybe a little harsh :)

You think it would be better on this model being their top seller

Hi Adam I've emailed Damasko asking about this because this as there is so confusion, turns out this model isn't ice harden but harden in another way, I ce Harden models have a rating of 700Hv hardness Tegiment models have 1200/1800Hv and also are made of Submarine steel. I believe its still surface deep but not the exact thickness but will try and find out 👍🏻

Hi Adan I've had an email back from Damasko and turns out there submarine Steel models have a Hardness of around 1000/1500Hv

I thought so, thanks for confirming. It's surface hardened while the ice hardened cases found on some of their other watches aren't as hard, but are treated the whole way through. The more I research into case hardening, the more downsides I tend to see. I'd rather an easy to buff 556 case. I think in a lot of cases hardened cases can't have scratches removed.

Many years ago Damasko used to make cases for Sinn but can't who came up with the design first

Pencil hand are the type used on the Nomos Club Campus and look very different

@@ClickSpringReview gotty correct myself: one syringe, one pencil hand.
