Sinn Servicing for UK based owners
Hi,
I know there has been a bad backlog on Sinn Servicing at the Fft factory in recent times. My beloved U1 recently packed up (suddenly felt rough to wind then the crown stopped completely) and I remembered hearing some horror stories at the end of last year re 6 month waiting times etc.
I started by calling Sinn DE: Err, guten tag. Mein aufzugskrone ist kaputt! "Its ok sir, I speak English....". Seriously, the young lady I spoke to was extremely helpful and said turnaround times were 12 to 14 weeks for a U1 service. She stressed that it would take longer if the customer wanted to confirm their estimate first. I know the watch needs fixing so I'm happy to take the 180 EUR full service quote up front.
There's a strong chance I'll take the opportunity to go back in the New Year and pick it up in person as we still have a lot of friends in Fft from when I used to live there. So that "saves" me the 65€ shipping home.. Another watch shopping opportunity too!
Thought I'd check with Page & Cooper as well. They quoted a 6 week turnaround for £295 for a full service. I didn't bother asking about the cost of a repair sans service.
Think I'll stick with a workshop I know and trust and send the watch to Fft.
Hope this info helps any other Sinn owners.
Cheers
Dave

Very happy with the work.
SIN SERVICE AT PAGE & COOPER
Hi,
Has anyone had problems with Page and Cooper re Sinn servicing lately.
I sent my Sinn 157 chrono for service ant to have an English date wheel fitted last October, and was quoted a return date before Christmas which came and went, I asked when I may have it back and was quoted then "we are waiting for a part from Sinn expected this week and we will let you know if it arrives," since then nothing. so after the holiday I asked again....no reply. I think this is disgraceful service and thought I would warn other Sinn owners.
Thanks for reading my rant but I JUST WANT MY WATCH BACK!
