    Makes it look like a cheap tacky "fashion" watch (as opposed to a tasteful "fashion" watch).

    As we are not in the Bear Pit, I'll restrain myself to a simple 'No'.

    At least Sinn have a sense of humour: "Limited to just 500 pieces, the U1 Camouflage is an exceptional timepiece in the U1 series." Plus the sense to only make (and sell?) 500.

    You'd have to put it on a bright orange NATO just in case you dropped it on the lawn, otherwise the only way you'd ever find it again is by the clang as it's sucked up by the Mountfield.

    I've not usually got bad eyesight but I'd really struggle to see those hands.

    If it's difficult to tell the time in the best promotional shot they had, what is it going to be like as you lift back your cuff for a quick peek? Awful.

    Is the camo trying to disguise the fact that it is a Sinn?
    It is a sin!

    I really like Sinn watches, however I really don't like that one. How have they misjudged it so badly.

    If they're trying to hide the time, they did a great job. Huge NO!

    That just seems so out of character for sinn and is just plain horrible.

    I don't think I'll put my name down for one, BUT I'm glad they have the freedom to come up with stuff like this- I really do like some of their other dealer editions and limited runs, and the quality is all there (in my experience), I've had 4

    Why would they wish to destroy a design icon? Why or why.

    Takes an understated military watch that is very well respected straight into Bamford territory.

    I appreciate that I'll be the voice of one - so far - on this thread however whilst I'll stop short of saying I think it's great I certainly don't think it's awful, in fact I don't mind it at all. I wonder if each dial's cammo pattern is unique?
