    A match made in heaven...

    My new Sinn 757, and a Ted Su kevlar strap and clasp :D

    The clasp is bigger than I expected :shock:

    Wow!,

    Great watch, and indeed a fine combination.
    That strap and clasp look very well made.

    Enjoy,

    Daddel.

    Very nice, and perfect combo. On Saturday I am going to see the Sinns at its distributor in Spain, believe ir or not I have never seen one in the "steel"! And a 756 UTC is very tempting...

    Beautiful combo there! :) I was literally minutes away from ordering a 757 when I checked in here and found a PM waiting with an offer of my DC67. However I would still like a 757 at some point. How do you rate the bezel action please? I do find this chrono layout,coupled with a bi-directional bezel to be very useful.I also wish Damasko had put indices at 5,15 and 25 on the 30 minute sub dial as the 757 has.

    The bezel action is perfect for this watch. Only 60 detentd, but the feel big and beefy, and the design of the bevel is such that it's not difficult to move, that's not to say that it will move unintentionally. It's bi directional, and very useful.

    I'm considering it. In actual fact, the colour of the finish on both watch and clasp is very close, which is why the clasp isn't already on it's way to Bry :D

    Bry did some buckles for me that came on a trio of Don Ginsler mini Panerais I bought.He did an excellent match with my DA37 case/buckle.

    Re: A match made in heaven...

    I really like the watch and strap, but think the clasp would get in the way when working on a computer or at a desk, could it be changed on those straps?

    Best regards

    Mark

    Hi Mark, the strap could be worn with a buckle, but in fact the strap rides up high on the inside of the wrist, and I'm sitting here typing, and trying to get the clasp to foul on the keyboard - it wont. Could be a problem though if you were left handed, and wore it on the right wrist.

    That's a superb watch Doug, truely lovely. Wear it in health. :)

    Does your wrist/arm tend to rock on that buckle when you're typing though?
    Best Regards - Peter

    I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.

    'Lo Peter,

    As I sit here typing, on a fairly standard keyboaed, the buckle hovers about 5 - 10mm above the desk.

    I've been wearing it for about 6 hrs now, and apart from my inital 'my gawd, this is heavy' :shock: , i haven't really noticed it at all.

    Lovely texture on the strap. That clasp looks neat and sleek. Very nice indeed :D
    It matches well with the finish of the case, imho.

    Best wishes,
    AP :)
