Thread: Remind me never to buy two chrono’s ever again...

  1. #1

    Remind me never to buy two chrono’s ever again...

    Just got home from work and picked the watches up I’d purchased over the last few weeks away (it’s an addiction lol)...

    I bought two chronographs with a view to keeping one, tbh I thought it would be easy to decide, however in the flesh they are both lovely watches...

    A Omega Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwich or the Sinn 356...



    Dam you sales corner, why do you make it so difficult haha...

    Very close. Omega edges it for me but both are design classics IMO.

    Omega is an absolute classic but I like the Sinn. Definitely different enough to keep both of you can.

    While I really like the Sinn I know that I would seldom wear it. It took years before I realised that I just don’t like Arabic dials. Hard to heat a Speedy.

    Keep the Sinn. Better looking and not as common.

    Much as I love the Speedy, it would be the Sinn for me. Great design and just that little bit different.

    Excellent purchasing!

    Both superb designs - leather and bracelet options there too to cover different bases...keep em both if you can!

    The Sinn is a better looking watch to my eye but I’d have to get that chrono sweep aligned!

    Can’t go too far wrong with either I guess.

    I’d keep the Sinn but I need glasses to read and it seems like it’s more readable at a glance whilst not wearing them.

    I'd keep the Speedy, but I am a bit of an Omega fanboy!!
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    If i owned tjose two i could not sell either. If i had to.... It would be the Omega the Sinn is just perfect, looking down at my wrist that is what i would prefer to see.

    Very difficult decision! If I absolutely had to sell one, it would be the Speedy (and I say that as a Speedmaster fan). That Sinn is beautiful and also has day & date which the Speedy lacks.

    that omega thingy is great apparently, keep it.
    the sinn 356 is rubbish and should be sold to me at mates rates just so you dont have to endure it any longer than absolutely necessary.

    failing that would you consider buying a 358 and not liking that one please ? would then be happy to help, mates rates again obviously.

    Much as I like Sinns, I'd keep the Speedmaster of those two.

    Of course, you should actually keep them both

    The svelte sinn case may make me change my mind on this choice.

    Decision made, I just can’t look past how nice the Speedy is, the seller of the Sinn wants it back so it’s been sold back to him as he regretted selling it as soon as he’d posted it I think...

    Sounds like a win-win.

    As someone with similarly good taste... ;-) it inevitably leads to tricky scenarios like this.

    Congrats to the new old owner!
    If they decide it needs to go again, give me a pm!

    Looking for one for ages and missed this one by about 30 mins.

    Seems to have ended well all round. I would have kept the Omega too.

    Wrong move I kept both of mine.
