    The perfect chronograph watch tool

    In answer to my WTB this has just arrived the first time I’ve seen one.

    It’s the base,pure model I wanted,no need for any thrills and better for it.
    It does everything including 200m wr,perfect size as well.

    It was easy to remove the bracelet to use a NATO in this heat.
    As I don’t buy watches for investment or to resell I will probably sell the bracelet,nice as it is I prefer straps.

    The Lume lit up just in my shaded room so also good.

    Very pleased with this one.

    The Sinn 103 is a great watch
    There is a reason they have been made for years, nice size, good movement, good looks. The O&W versions are equally as good.
    I am biased though I love a Sinn watch


    Another good option is Fortis


    I picked this up recently and it’s great (it’s in too good a condition for an out and our beater though)

    If you can get on with the size, the CSAR is also a cracker.

    They sure are. The B-42 Lemania Chronograph is a favorite of mine.

    Only on the 155 (another on a Tutima NATO chrono as well) - ah Tutima another quality tool Chronograph!


    I tend to find Bund straps a bit short in length for my wrist. The 155 was a watch that Sinn created from surplus parts from the Bund Chrono refurbishment programme so figured an Bund strap would be most suitable. It’s a bit of a rare one (< 300) it’s the reason I don’t have a 103 they are too similar.

    Just checked the safe
    I don’t have any more that I have forgotten about!

    It is similar but I like the orange colour hands.

    I did like my 103, same model as you. The bezel seemed to pick up marks all too easily though. I'd love to get a hold of one of the beadblasted ones from Watchbuys

    Thank you for the offer I’ve just put it on another timefactors strap that I modified to take a buckle.
    Just to lower the the profile,this should be on a leather strap,but not in this heat.

    I'm not saying it's the perfect tool chrono but for its price range I think it is pretty good, the new bulova lunar with polished case no date and old logo

    I just briefly tried it on the Sinn strap and deployant,I have to say they are far superior to the Tudor versions.
    I’ve put it back on the Dimodall rally for now while I look for a buckle for it.
    I think it really suits the watch.
