    I received delivery of my Sinn 856 at the end of 2023, much after I ordered it in June. They told me there was none in stock and was coming direct from the factory.
    I love it, even with the 6-month waitibg.

    I've heard that Sinn put the back-play in the U1 bezel ON PURPOSE because, as a super tooly von-tool watch, that back play would assist in dislodging a grain of sand, or a shrimp fin, or something that will inevitably jam up the bezel while you're diving at 1000 meters. So it's not a bug, it's a FEATURE. Great video. Thanks from America!

    Bought the U1 at the Sinn factory in Frankfurt in 2010. 13 Years later I wear it almost daily and it has never failed. The rubber strap unfortunately didn’t last as long and I replaced it with a third party strap (the cost for the replacement strap w/o the clasp is excessive at best). This watch has been on a few hundred dives, has survived two motorbike crashes and still looks like new. At the time I was tempted to either go with the UX (the GSG 9 watch), the U2 or the U1. For me the design was one factor, but also that the UX is not an automatic, but a quartz. And I hate changing batteries in a watch. By the way I paid something a bit shy of a 1000 Euros and also got the 19% VAT back. Cheers from Sydney!

    I own the U1 T-SDR, nothing beats this monster, i wear it to the beach, hiking, the pool, under my suit and from time to time with my tuxedo. I have to tell you, i love my Sinn and i have the silicone band, along with the original tegimented bracelet and i love my watch! I own a Rolex GMT II coke dial from 2005, Omega Seamaster quartz, casio mtd 110 and the Sinn is my favorite. I bought mine in 2019.

    Loved this show MWC! It’s always so good to hear someone talking about a watch that they love.
    Before you bought your U50 I would have disregarded it as too modern or not vintage enough but when you hear someone who loves it talk about it you gain a whole new appreciation for a watch you totally overlooked before. It just goes to show how broad the spectrum is when it comes to watches and that’s a great thing!

    The U1 has become my most worn watch in my collection by far ever since I bought it. It's a brick shithouse of a watch, one you never ever forget you're wearing, and I just love the look of it. It absolutely screams "TOOL WATCH", I feel like I could take it off and use it as a hammer if I needed to lol. The Lego style hands were what drew me in in the first place, but I totally understand it not being for everyone, it's definitely a look

      The problem it’s not the demand go a see the German boutiques, plus the Japan new store they even have special editions that in Europe you can’t find it … yes big demands plus lack of watchemakers personal … anyway love my Sinn’s super well built watches but if you go to the EZM , Flieger Chronos with all the high specs prepare your bank account 😊 the watch’s are all uprising the prices! 😮 one day with all this demands a proper mechanical good watch cost 6 figures 😳! Any way if we want good “watch’s” the U1 bezel is possible to fix but it should be in the fabric, plus the U50 does have a little tiny back play not too much but it’s there ! And have to agree with MWC the 104 is much better made :bezel action spot on , crown much smoother and mine it’s more accurate than the U50 not being picky! The tegimented is Top ! Expensive yes but only the AR coating outside in all Sinn’s are very easy to came off if you beat bit hard but always an option remove it
      All the best and enjoy your watches wear them not photos and safe boxes….😂

    I’m just on my way back from a two week holiday in Germany where I had hoped to treat myself to a Sinn 556, maybe the UTC version or the Sinn that looks like a Navitimer but was dismayed at how scarce they are in shops - the dealer I was aware of in Augsburg had a small selection but none that was on my list so I came away empty handed. What you say about Sinn regulating supply through whatever reason now makes sense of my experience. I love the show, brill as always and your wife’s right, it is a bigger Lego watch LOL, sorry!

    These are such beautiful watches. The bracelet too. My only reservation, with a tegimented watch with sapphire crystal, which is amazing at preventing scratches: why would Sinn then put anti reflective coating on top of the sapphire? Hit a door knob or a wall and the scratch will be visible. If they did a version with the coating under the crystal, that would be maybe my grail watch. All Sinns seem to have this issue with the coating.

    2 grand for a sw 200 or even 300 is taking the piss. Great review mate ❤️. The back play on a 1000m diver is there so you can still turn it at that depth. A sat diver would use a watch simply to tell the time, the fact it has that water resistance and no helium escape valve means it is not over engineered but designed with marketing in mind.

    • @THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR
      @THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Arson! You can poopoo this all you want buddy it ain’t gonna work. The helium escape valve is an abomination to all watches. Ain’t no way the bezel was designed to be like though as the U50 would do it to.

      @@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Comment wasn't directed at you,or your watch, personally. Owned an Oris with a Selitta movement. Back for movement repair and then malfunctioned again, so into the bin it went. When Damasko knew ETA movements would no longer be available they developed their own. The price of their watches went up by about $500 per model. I talked myself into paying the difference, and I'm glad I did.
