It is a 44mm watch but wears smaller due to lug design so this can fit any wrist (no overhang). Light, simple, legible, quite thin and a true Tutima original design. The deep dial seems to float sometimes. Very comfortable bracelet, indestructible eta 2836, overall a really nice piece. Would recommend to anyoneOriginally Posted by Onelasttime

Seriously considering a whale shark, would be really interested in a wrist shot if possible. Great pick up btw, I’m assuming you paid RRP?Just landed. Extremely strong first impressions
What a pity the dumb b%#s*^%#+ don’t include a proprietary spring bar tool
Yes RRP. Here’s a wrist pic
Wrist 6.7 which is fairly thin. Short lugs help it
A great purchase Rusty, the dial really works on this watch. Oris do produce some lovely watches at competitive prices.Yes RRP. Here’s a wrist pic

Thanks Kirk. Wasn’t sure if it was too similar to my MM at first but it really is a looker.

Another Sinn landed for me today. Now in double figures of 556’s I’ve owned!! Must keep this one.
Can see why, every time I see one of these I think about getting one.Another Sinn landed for me today. Now in double figures of 556’s I’ve owned!! Must keep this one.
Great shot, hope your thinkpad is working better than mine is today!
Arrived last Saturday courtesy of Neil at Chronomaster. Put it on this cheapo yellow to see if it works and it does imo so now need a good yellow strap and I don't know where to get one.

Just a suggestion. I know it's not fancy, but I swear by these. Code SAVE25 will get you under the import threshold as well, so none of that faff to worry about.
Keep looking at them and turning away, don't like the end of the long part of the strap.
That watch somehow asks for a rubber strap, but if you're looking for leather, you might want to consider this:

I ordered the red and brown and they should arrive tomorrow. The makers stand behind their product.
You may know this already, but the square at the end of the long part of the strap is totally genius IMO. The keeper has a small square on the inside of it that slots perfectly into that square hole on the end of the strap. So the keeper stays in place. You don't see the square at all once it's on wrist.

That I didn’t know thank you, will have to have a think. Silicone puts me off a bit too though but I suppose they’re cheap enough.
Interesting thank you, will think but of course I’ll have to pay customs charges etc.???

Ha, I totally forgot it's different now (not affected myself, based in Ireland). It's a ~€30 purchase in Spain, so you'd need to check where it falls.
My first Sinn, I now see why they are highly regarded.

There are some fantastic silicone straps available. Black with yellow. Soft and pliable.
I have a black/orange combo on my Damasko I got from Neil. Quick release spring bars too, so a doodle to fit and remove. Very subtle once on the wrist.

Just arrived. Been wanting one of these for years and finally bought one. Not sure about the Nato it came with, but it's growing on me. Love the watch though.

I posted this on the Friday thread but I like it enough to post twice. It arrived today courtesy of TheGent, a forum members who’s name matches his character. On a lovely horween but may end up on a perlon as the weather improves.
Looks great on the Horween. Can I ask what make the strap is? Looking for something similar but lighter brown.I posted this on the Friday thread but I like it enough to post twice.

It was handmade for the previous owner TheGent. You could sent him a message and he should be able to share the details. It is a really well made strap and as you said suits the watch.
Nice subtle, understated arrival from Chrono24 today
Jan (username vekslak) made it - stunning leather, can’t recommend Jan enough....

Great choice. Had every combo of NY0040, currently only yellow but I am planning to get one full lume again. The strap is a bit shiny for it imho but I remember it looked fantastic on orange rubber...
Enjoy

I’ve had my eye on one of those for a while now, but convinced myself I didn’t need another retro diver.Arrived today from the elves at Gnomon; 4 days! Been on my wish list for a little while. Have to say that first impressions are it is lovely :)
You’re not helping! :-)
This arrived in the week, I don’t have a GMT and I quite like busy dials on pilot/aviation watches.
I’ve seen Torgoen’s on some colleagues wrists over the years, and they’ve always been quite positive about them, but I always assumed they were all big 47mm watches. Ok, this is still 44mm, across the bezel, but works fine on my 7 3/4” flat wrist.
I got an email from Torgoen saying the new T21 Flight GMT was available to order, so took a punt. I’m impressed for a sub £300 quartz (with the fabric strap as well as the stock leather), the seconds hand hits all the markers (a personal bugbear of mine when they don’t!) and the case is extremely well finished with very crisp edges. The GMT hand lines up and does the job. I nearly ordered the cream dial, but went for the blue in the end.

My second in the last week and my first IWC. Much nice than the photo portrays. Yes that's an ill-fitting 18mm on it at the moment.
I’ve had a couple of those. I particularly regret moving the first one on. Not so much the second though, which had a few issues Watchfinder didn’t resolve.My second in the last week and my first IWC. Much nice than the photo portrays. Yes that's an ill-fitting 18mm on it at the moment.
If you enjoy it, you might fall down the rabbit hole! I never came back from it, I love many different kinds of watches, but sinn are really good at everything if you're not stopped by their design a bit...german!

Quick couple of pics. Only just picked this up after months of deliberating on my first gold watch. Very happy. My pictures don’t do it justice - The blue bezel looks incredible!

Another forum buy for me. What a watch. Having come from mostly 40mm+ cases it takes a bit of getting used to but it is nice to have a few smaller, smarter pieces & this fills the special occasions slot perfectly.
Testament to the movement, despite the 70yr odd age, the winding action is more positive than any other I've had.

Thanks, I'm very pleased with it & Dunk was superb to deal with.
I've looked at several Sinns in the past and wanted one for a while, but never thought this would be my first. But I love it, so legible and a great size.

Very nice looking watch, especially that braceletArrived today from the elves at Gnomon; 4 days! Been on my wish list for a little while. Have to say that first impressions are it is lovely :)
Very nice indeed. Playing with the man maths again, I find it incredible that the list price of this watch is more than £10k higher than the cost of my first house in 1984 which required a 25 year mortgage to buy.
Enjoy, lovely to see one in the flesh and I think much nicer than the previous Blue dial version, though I'm sure there are those who have to have both.
Congratulations! I’ve also picked one of those up too. Enjoy!!I've looked at several Sinns in the past and wanted one for a while, but never thought this would be my first. But I love it, so legible and a great size.

Thanks Rob :-)
I agree Ken, I’ve spent a lot of time comparing watches I’ve bought to other things in the past. Even things today. My wife says I always over think everything so I’m trying to knock that on the head.
The blue bezel really is lovely - my lack of photographic talent doesn’t really show it in its best light!
Having bought my first house in 2015, I'd just like to say that life is not fair
Was a bit of a steal at the time. Built just after WW1 it was a lovely house overlooking the Mersey, across to Formby and out to Liverpool Bay. Some old dear had just died and the house was run down. Wish I'd kept it now, be worth about £350k, which is probably still peanuts against prices down South.Having bought my first house in 2015, I'd just like to say that life is not fair
Now that is special and very different from the RG DD40.
