    Always fancied one of these as a grab and go

    Really wanted a Hydromax, but couldn't justify the price for the same look. Would have one, one day, if it came about at the right dough.



    Just like the size, the slim case, legibility and feel for a grab and go. looks bigger than the Type Demineur, although that's purely down to dial colour. As its the same case

    Good looking watch that; I have also been after a Hydromax for years, there's only one on c24 on rubber with a black face... Want a white face on bracelet :(

    Not rare as such, but bloody hard to find. Especially a good one.

    Very nice, I too have looked at these, hydromaxes, EZM2s and UXs, as a grab and go waterproof option.

    I've been very close to getting one, having decided that the Hydromax thing was just too much specification for my requirements.

    Good choice.

    In the meantime I have gone for something vintage with a very similar case design to this, mostly because it was very good value and has hour hacking (for travel purposes). I am hoping that I can ensure that my incoming is waterproof, but that is always the risk of a vintage purchase.

    White face with bracelet you say? There's one on the 'bay... I found a BNIB one about 18 months ago for £1100 and didn't buy it regrettably, but this one looks reasonable money and good condition.

    Not the best advert in the world is it...

    Have sent him a message asking about if it's had a battery change recently. Anyone know what the deal is with an oil filled watch? Back to the factory or can an indie do a change..?

    Is this actually made by Sinn? I know some of their pieces were back in the day.

    Thanks for the spot :)

    Its a stunner! That would be a bit more than a grab-n-go to me!

    Suddenly though I see a brand new Sinn UX with 12000m WR and COSC certification is £1375 on a strap from Chronomaster...

    Hmm, new thread time...

    One of the best looking white dials I've ever seen
