I spent a little time with Sinn at Basel some years ago, when they were launching their Ti watches and they were great, and went over their processes etc.
There’s nothing wrong with the U50, but it’s a very simple brushed case and dial, compared to quite a complex case and some quite intricate dual work on a few Bremont models. They may use Submarine steel on a number of models, and tegimented process, but Bremont do have a hardening process to 2000 Vickers, Sinn’s is 1200-1500 unless they add there coating and then it’s a similar 2000.
I wasn’t overly sold on a Bremont years ago. I too had misgivings about their value proposition, especially at full RRP, but then they only had two or three models to choose from. Now they have a number of watches I their range that I’d happily own in a larger collection - the S500 and a Ti Boeing being top of my list. But it’s only fair to compare at a price you are paying - I’ve recently bought a Solo on a bracelet at considerably less than the £2180 of the Sinn, and whether you agree or not, for me it’s the better looking watch, which is surely all that matters.
