Arktis or 857

[hot66]

Simple question ..... Would I be daft to replace my sinn arktis with a sinn 857 Utc cargo ?

Or

They are both fantastic watches. Do Sinn still make the Arktis? If they don't, that would inform my decision because it might be hard to find another one if you change your mind later.

I wouldn't...

Yes you would be daft, but if you are feeling silly then I'll gladly take the Arktis off your hands.

The Arktis will be hard (not impossible) to replace should you go for the 857 and then regret it as it's not made anymore. I personally prefer the 857 but that's just me. I've had the normal version before and I've looked at the Cargo version as I do like the splash of orange, if one was to pop up on SC I'd be pushed not to get it. They are a bit bigger than the Arktis but wear nicely as they are pretty thin.

Two quite different watches, only you can decide which one you like the most.

Keep the Arktis, love the blue dial.

No brainer for me, but someone will love the Arktis if you don't!

In answer to an earlier question, no, Sinn don't make the Arktis any more, but you can pick up an 857 Cargo new, so unless you really don't like the Arktis (a sought after watch - Just check how few you seen on SC or Chrono24 (none the last few times I've checked and only 2 sold on eBay worldwide since November!), then dumping the Arktis for an 857 seems crazy!

Responses are pretty Unanimous then :lol:

My vote is to keep the Arkis. It is an extremely good looking watch, and you don't see it everyday.

Seperate to the OP's question. I reckon if an 857 pops up on SC it won't be there very long at all, I was on the CW Sellors / Jura site earlier today trying to decide between the Testaf or the Lufthansa Cargo LE. Had my eye on an 857 for at least a year now and I can see my resolve weakening by the day. Can see it fitting into my rotation perfectly.
