You can get a hand built German watch such as Dornbluth & Sohn for less $. The Leica looks like a very nice watch, but paying big $ for that name, when Dornbluth & Sohn is a far better watch...

Of course accuracy matters. A wristwatch that fumbles at its job is not a wristwatch but a broken piece of jewellery. Jewellery isn’t as common for males as with females; Men will wear jewellery if it has some pragmatism, so they wear watches. And men are usually more attracted to engineering. I know that these are broad generalizations and not true for everyone, but I need to keep my argument as succinct as possible.

For goodness sake, just use dental floss looped around the spring bar to remove…then to put back on you can use numerous tricks to avoid scratches

I am mainly a Seiko and Grand Seiko collector. My first Sinn was the 556i. It honestly had me considering why would I need any other kind of watch because it was such an essential tool watch. I think it's inevitable I will get more.

I do miss your videos. Just like this one, you make really well researched quality independent content.

Great video introducing German horology & some of the great watch making independents.

Excellent video. I have a Panomatic Lunar on my wish list. Maybe in a year or two.

6:16. They are doing innovative things. Far from a copy cat.

Stupid review as you dont even have the watch to review

Hi Ben, is the Nam Hing tool still available ?

104 blue😍

German watchmaking did not start in the 17th century in the Black Forests. It started before 1511 in Nürnberg, Bavaria, by the famous Peter Henlein, a blacksmith and watchmaker. He was the first who made small and wearable watches.

Don't A. Lange & Söhne and Glashütte Original employees share the same parking lot?

Thank you for your brilliant video. I've never heard about Dornblüth & Sohn before. I prefer bigger watches like 41-42mm with a traditional look. So I'm going to visit their site now.

Nice review - loving my mn24 for the holidays

Want a Nam Hing Spring Bar Tool for my Rolex.

Love it .. best Tudor ever made

I have this in blue and the submariner. Let’s stop all this, better than a Rolex nonsense please.

Using the same shape for minutes and hours = bad design.

Bought mine several years ago for $340 from Jomashop. It’s gotten lots of use and the polished bezel is all scuffed and dinged, but I love this watch. I’ve taken it swimming , hiking, vacations, daily work, evening out…it goes with everything, everywhere. I generally find field watches boring so really appreciate the day-date complication. This is a watch for life.

Hi Ben. I would like to purchase the spring bar remover. I did search for the company online, and it appears that their website is not currently working. Can you please tell me what I need to do? Many thanks in advance.

Awesome video, stunning timepieces. What's the official website for D.Dornblüth & Sohn?

Good vid m8.

I have the blue SEAQ pano date and I love it! Super accurate and how can you beat a handmade German watch!

I just bought a JDM Seiko titanium solar quartz radio controlled everyday perfect time watch. The perfect grab and hold watch. Never needs a wind or to be set

cheers . . luv the U2

Watchfinder’s video is very interesting as far as outing the brand to the general public and photography wise but I’ve been wondering a lot about how much customisation you can actually get and, even their site isn’t very clear, so this video is absolute gold as far as that information goes. Like you, I’m an absolute sucker for enamel (white) dials, I’m also not a fan of 40mm or + dress watches (7’ wrist) so I was actually surprised I could combine the 38,5mm with enamel and any other kind of customisation I want. I had dismissed D. Dornbluth & Sohn and was looking more into Habring2 bur I kept coming back to how beautifully they finish their movements, so now I know there still in the game. Thx

The longines spirit us such awesome value, amazing history, grade 5 titanium, cosc chronometer movement, such an awesome watch for the price point

I actually prefer the German brands to the Swiss at this point. Muhle Glashutte is a fantastic entry option that flies so far under the radar. Lange is the grail at this point.

I love the Blue Dial of this 43mm Big Pilot's but my only criticism is the exposed case back ... there is no really cohesive ethos in the design. A big Pilot's watch must have an iron case back to protect the movement from magnetic fields. I love these Big Pilot's 43mm 💙 PS: The Top Gun version of this 43mm big Pilot's are coming with ckose case back 👌🏼

Which models are in tegimented steel? Very confusing. 556? 856?

I love iwc spitfire my favorite watch since I bought it

50mm l2l is too much

While I agree with your stance - I personally love a tegimented, brushed 556 I with no date, on a H-link - I also feel that Sinn are staying on mission in creating tool/instrument watches. And that is not really an ideal office aesthetic. And do we honestly need tegiment treatment for a responsibly worn office watch, or is this a case of conspicuous over engineering?

I understood that the founder of Leica originally made watches. I am still trying to find a good history reference. If this is truly in their DNA, it seems they should bring this to light on their website....since it is not there, I am questioning my own knowledge at this point.

My Sinn trifecta.... 104 St Sa I white dial on brown leather strap. U50 uncoated on H-link bracelet. EZM3 603 on grey canvas strap.

I bought a used Stowa!!

Got an EZM9,love it. You’re right, Sinn watches are just like Skittles…..can’t have just one.🖖

If you like the watch and plan to keep it in your collection then of-course you should let it be serviced.

Hi, what is your email so you can help me purchase one of these Thx

great video, very informative

what's your wrist size bro? i have a 6,5 and been eyeing on a spitfire, do you think i can pull this off?

Thanks for sharing

Very good video! thank you for all of the information because I wasn’t getting straight answers from my AD. You are 100% correct about the leather strap and the leather lining on the NATO in the summer definitely makes sense to go with metal. I really want to try the brushed metal on this one now!

Like this video, please make a similar video for Habring2! (If not already done so)

I have that exact Sinn...i have been wearing it 24/7 for years

Great video! I appreciate how you discuss the pre-purchase issues we fans always wonder about!

The cat is stealing the show!

I’m so interested in RADO. In the US we don’t see these too often. I wish I could handle them. My wife has a black J12. Looks striking and ages well. I’ve never dropped a watch, so that aurgument carries little weight. Daily living I do scratch watches. An objective review might weigh these realities… my thoughts. Thx for the videos

I have watches made from stainless steel, titanium and ceramic. I've never had an issue with my Omega darkside. For me ceramic is the winner, but each to their own.
