Lovely, I've really got the hots for a U1 at the moment.Originally Posted by Routers
Still really like this one - I should wear it more.
Might have a punt post Christmas spending splurge...
I wondered when the rarest of all Sinns was making an appearance.....The ZUZ issued EZM1 -
As (probably) the owner of the only Sinn / Tutima pair of issued pieces out there Andy, I think you might treat us to a comparison........

The ZUZ issued EZM1 -
That's pretty special
Makes my EZM2B look a bit commercial...
I've had a few Sinns in my time (at the last count; 103, 144, 155, 356, 857UTC, U1, U2S, UX) but the 756 Diapal that I've just purchased is hands down the best of the lot.
I like the simplicity and quality in 556 & they were a lot more affordable not long ago.
No longer have any of them after obtaining a 656L.
[/QUOTE]
That 656L is stunning , first time I've seen one .
Currently have a 556i, rubber for work and bracelet on the weekend.
I always liked the UX
One day I may get another one

Nice. Keen to try a UX. However, I would prefer it if it was 42mm rather than 44.
I've only had the Diapal, it was a good watch.
I'm in love with Sinn EZM1 for last months...but i don't think i will get one : /
So maby some UX one day.
856 UTC on order.. and this one possibly on its way out.. just a tad too big for me... which is a shame as I love the lego hands..

Which model is is and how big is it?
U2 S Meisterbund III LE - Full PVD (1 of 15 I believe)
44mm case
50mm lug to lug
15.5mm high
22mm lug width
200g on bracelet
Thanx for info.
I like it alot but 1 of 15 means it might be expensive : )
Sinn... Mmm... I have a mixed relation with that brand: at one time, I owned quite a lot of these, sold most and still have only two. But these are keepers!
My collection at one time:
Currently, the Arktis and the EZM2 are the only ones left.
At one stage, the Arktis was in a bad shape. Like it had been run over or similar. My watchmaker etch-welded a new corner to the lug and now it's brand new again, complete with AR filling. (Etch-welding has to be done in an AR filled environment - that makes it a lot easier!)
Now it looks like this:

Cheers Tony,I'm ya man if you want to move it on, Ian
No plans right now but if and when.
Only just signed up and feel like I've turned up late to a party but, picked this U1 SDR up last week and given I only spent half my budget, it's twice the watch I expected.
Truly distinctive, unique & unmistakable in the huge crowd of cliché divers and with a quick strap change to the rubber that also came with the watch, particularly with the black bezel of the SDR means, two watches in one. The rubber has the most impressive clasp I've come across.....huge at first glance but just fab! GasGasBones Zero Zero now on order and I'm completely sorted.
After 2 years of buying, selling and searching for a daily wearer, I'm done......
Think the number is 80 rather than 15. Intended for the Japanese market IIRC.U2 S Meisterbund III LE - Full PVD (1 of 15 I believe)

You are correct.. I think only 15 were full PVD though..
That looks really well on the green leather - is it a 356 or 358...

Another (very grainy, but I like it for some reason) shot of my Sinn Arktis, showing its lume.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I love the EZM1. Is there a reason for the left sided crown on that model? Pardon my ignorance...
Perhaps it was designed to be worn on the right wrist.
Still, there was a ZTZ-issued (sort of a SWAT unit of the German Customs) model with the crown on the right side. Very rare indeed.
Thanks. I found a pic of it here...
Shame it wasn't a mass made model. Would be an instant purchase for me:
ZUZ are the SWAT equivalent, ZTZ are a technical group. The ZUZ-issued one (see Andy's above) is rare, but no righties. there are theoretically only 10 ZTZ ones, and they are not all righties, I am not sure hhow many are.

Loving the U1s. Going to hunt one down in the new year.
I think two or three of the ten ZTZs were right-handed crowns.
My latest Sinn addition

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Crown and pushers on the left is to prevent accidental chrono activation and to keep the crown from digging into your wrist during activity.
Great watch and photos Andy.My latest Sinn addition
I'm just trying to take some of my U! SDR and can't match your quality - could you tell me your settings?
Cheers
The wrist shot was taken indoors - 35mm f1.8 prime lens, F5.6, ISO 800
The outdoors shot = 105mm Macro lens, F11, ISO 160
Both on aperture priority with my Nikon D7100, tripod mounted & using the infra-red remote control.
HTH.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Many thanks - will try and emulate!
I like several Sinn models, but not all of them. Personally my first choice from this brand would be a U1 on a rubber strap, because of its case technology and its different looks. Then the really lovely 556
I've never owned one, but I do fancy the U1 (red hands, stainless steel bracelet)... So simple and beautiful.

Gorgeous watch! I'd love to own a Sinn flieger 356.

I have a red stitched ZeroZero for my UX, great choice of strap.
...and I want the bigger one on a strap :-)I want one of these... (the smaller one, on a bracelet)
All these U1's are making me want a change from the 556
Currently Have a U1000 but have owned all the divers at some point. The one I truly regret letting go is the U2. Some here.....
And my U1000 in a crappy pic....
......can I just add that you guys take some amazing pics.
Settled on these two now..
Ooh... nice a latest generation XM. One of the top three best things I got last year.And my U1000 in a crappy pic....

I sold my EZM1 to keep the EZM10 and have not looked back. In my opinion
The Ezm10 is an amazing watch
Cheers
Mark

One I would love to own at some point Mark - the EZM 1 was a long time grail, I sold my 5513 to get one, but I found it just too light for my taste and it had to go... :(
