Just an 856 at the moment. I'd like to add a 142.
I just have this one, which hasn't been worn in months now I think about it.
657 and EZM1
Currently both at Sinn, one for a service, the other for a warranty repair.

Did you search first? I'm sure there's already a Sinn thread...

Why not? This is my 556a. My first good watch from 2015. I love it, it's a stark tool watch. The leather is lovely. Definitely a keeper.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Very much like the Arktis that was posted earlier, I have been kicking myself for not getting one while they were still readily available.
I have a 356 Fleiger II and a U1-w, here are a few old pictures of them.
Sinn does make a good watch.

Oh jeez, there is some loveliness in this thread! Keep 'em coming!
My 757 and UX, both since departed...
...and my current EZM13
Big Sinn fan, have a thing for Damasko as well.
Has anyone here got a Sinn 140 or 142 ? The 140A in particular is a great looking chrono. Was wondering what Sinn fans thought of these watches ?

Hi andy
Sorry, I scrolled through your post on my tiny phone screen earlier. Thanks for flagging it up. You have some super, sweet watches for sure !
What got me looking at Sinn was this watch:

One of the best looking watches I have seen. It seems a lot though for the movement onboard.
Regards
Gary

Try searching the forum for Spacelab. Here's one thread to start you off: link.
I've since sold the watch, but here's my old EZM3 with the only part of a Tornado GR4 that never breaks - the Sinn stopwatch:
Here are my two - for entry level they are excellent - really want a blue 903 at some point.
Currently only have this one

How do the owners of the oil filled Sinn's find the accuracy?
I find the look of them pretty amazing with the oil bringing the hands to the surface.
I was watching a HD close up video on YouTube on my TV and every time the second hand went against gravity it bounced back. The person making the video mentioned the 'Sinn bounce' but studying that vid on a 40" TV the second hand only 'bounced' when going up from the 6 to 12 markers, then as soon as it was on th way down it ticked like a normal quartz.
I am currently debating the purchase of a Sinn but I'm thinking a 104. It's not a brand I've considered before. I'm thinking of spending more than I usually do on a watch and a Pelagos was favourite but after seeing what people say about the quality of them I'm intrigued.
Also, how are the service times these days? I found an old post on wus saying 6 months (if you're lucky) to service a hydro model.
Do they hold their value?
The accuracy of my UX was phenomenal, right up until it lost a few hours one day and is currently on it's way back to Sinn :) I guess sometimes you get unlucky - still a brilliant watch and I can't wait to have it back. The look is unique, very hard to describe how the hands look until you see it in the flesh - from some very odd angles.
Mine has the bounce too, they all do - gravity will play a vey small part, it should look different going 'up' and 'down'. People tend to think the oil is like Millers 10-60 or something, in reality it's (apparently) not that much thicker than water.
My old UX was, I think, within 3 sec a year. Yup, I did mean to type year! Not unheard of though for that movement.
Bounce? Yup, they all do that.
Never had mine serviced though it's not going to be 6 months, 6 weeks maybe but not months. A battery should last approx 7 years.
Ok, I will play!

856 UTC on a brown shell horween strap (with unseen brushed Sinn deployment).
I keep wanting to try a 556 or 656 but I really like the 856. The tiny splash of yellow is nice. Also looks good on a black and yellow striped NATO.

I am constantly considering to add a Sinn to my collection but at the end I reason with myself that I don't need another watch.
This thread has made me thinking again....
I love this thread!
I've owned many, many brands but never a Sinn despite lusting after lots of models for ages. This is my personal favourite and at £895 from a UK AD, could it be better value?
