    You gotta love the unexpected...

    Received an email unexpectedly yesterday morning...

    ...picked this up today.



    - It's a newer version (2001)
    - Only one original owner (bought new from Sinn)
    - Supplied with original steel bracelet
    - Full box and papers (including original purchase receipt)
    - Full service two weeks ago, unworn since (receipt for full service included)
    - All pre-service parts included
    - Three additional new straps, and extra bracelet links
    - Nice face to face deal...

    You just never know when something like this will pop up.

    Cheers,
    -flugzeit

    Shame they stopped with the Lemania movement :( I think this is much more special than today's 256.

    Actually, its not until you handle the 156 mil 'in the metal' that it becomes obvious that Sinn's 256 is not in the same league as the 156.

    Wow Coady, that's incredible! The nicest piece in your growing military collection if you ask me.
    Got it from Germany?

    Yep. Local deal in Frankfurt. I tried to buy this very watch about six months ago, and the seller--at that time--couldn't part with it. We were sitting in a bar, I had the cash in my hand, and he decided not to sell it. So I was a bit surprised to get the email yesterday.

    Anyway, it looks like I resolved the question about what to keep and what to get rid of in my collection...

    answer...

    ...keep them all, AND add another one.

    Absolutely beautiful - I particularly like the lume.
