~Evening all, I recently bought a cheap Sinn U2 to tide me over while my UX is back in Frankfurt, but it had a couple of issues that mean I had to return it, so I'm on the look out for something else to keep me happy while the UX is away. My contenders are:
Sinn U2
Sinn 856 UTC
Sinn 857 UTC
Tudor North Flag
Tudor Heritage Ranger
Thoughts on the above, anything similar that I'm ignorant of that I'll love?
Longines Big Eye pilot?
North Flag would get my vote from that list. Oris Diver 65 is a great watch for the money too.

That money will still (just) buy a Seiko MM300.
It will buy a very nice older full size Omega SMP quartz, but I very much doubt you’ll find an automatic in that price bracket.
It would have bought an immaculate early Tudor Black Bay a couple of years ago but you’d have to be very lucky to find one at that price now.
MM300 is a good call or a Tuna.
for a "same but different" option maybe look at the Damasko models?
Damasko? Loads of models withing budget, even more for used prices

I’ll add another vote for Damasko. Outstanding quality feel and beautifully builtOriginally Posted by sweets
Check out Damasko at Chronomaster and/or Jura.
I think ‘whatever’ is a good choice:-)
If you already got a sinn, I would go for mm300 or damasko and keep some change
I would look at a Marathon GSAR. Very underrated watch and not seen out in the wild much.
Buy Sinn watches which one you likes
Some great suggestions folks, thanks very much for all the replies. Thinking about it more, I want an automatic, Arabic numerals and a pretty simple face. I don't really know much about the different Omegas, I've never really looked at them closely, but I'll take a better look. The Seikos look good, there are so many though, so I need to do some digging.
I've been looking at Damasko, don't know why I didn't think of them before, everything I like about the Sinns but a bit different, could be perfect.
Maybe a pre-loved Junghans Meister Pilot? I have one and it is one of my absolute favourites.
Auto, arabic numerals, simple face - cant beat stowa flieger. They also have similar styled marine/deck style watches, all excellent pieces.
Sounds like you want a Sinn EZM3, don't you?

I was just about to say the same!Sounds like you want a Sinn EZM3, don't you?

As stated above the MM300 is perfect. SBDX*** should be a tight squeeze and a bit more gets you the SLA021.

Pilot watches seem to fit the bill given your latest criteria, but is there nothing else you can think of to help narrow things down? Size, case colour, lug to lug, country of manufacture for instance?
Propilot?

Where is best place to buy Sinn watches?
Stowa and Laco for real pilots, Sinn / Oris for more standard looking
I think this watch is a real looker. RRP 1500 you can certainly get it for less used.

Buy that Damasko DC30 that's on SC right now and save £1k.
