Hi All,

Feeling pretty glum at the moment...as the title suggests I’ve gone and put a serious crack in the crystal on my Sinn 356 – the one I’ve only owned for a month and my first serious watch :(

The worst bit is it happened in Jura Watches. I have a new Toshi strap on it which is still quite tight to get on and off. As I unthreaded the strap from the buckle to hand over to the shop assistant it came out of my hand, hit the CORNER of the glass display case and landed on the TILED floor :(

Why me?!?!?!

The guy got on the phone and got an estimate of £300 from Sinn (excluding VAT. Does anyone have any idea if this has to be done by Sinn or can I get an aftermarket crystal? I know the domed sapphire crystals are quite unique so I’m not holding my breath.

If anyone has any bright ideas I’m all ears...

Today officially sucks! Look forward to me listing a load of stuff on SC to pay for the repair.

*sigh*
