Sinn U1 photo thread

[learningtofly]

Such an amazing watch - one of my favourite ever, and the release of the U50 couldn't please me more as the original was always a bit large for me.

Given its unique design and the many ways it can be worn, i thought a photo thread would provide some pleasure. Let's see yours.

I bought a lovely example off SC a couple of years ago. The usual story of loving it and moving it on after a while. I regret not making a move for the one Papa Hotel listed yesterday. The mini version definitely appeals to me.

This thread was the last thing I needed... I totally regret selling it.

Yesterday was payday as well. Took the dog for a walk and by the time I got home someone else had got in there. Your Longines LD is another great watch for a relatively small amount of money. Some great watches listed on SC in recent weeks, your two included.

The worst bit about it... I've sold them to make way for a Breitling. At RRP. I know.

Ach, I don't think the pain will last long, both were lovely but I just wasn't wearing them.



Farewell U1!

[seabiscuit]

Bugger! Should have bought that one and then walked the dog. Enjoy your new Speedbird and Breitling.

[Sinnlover]

One of my favourites 12 years old and still looks like new.

Wonderful pictures Tony and a bona fide classic. They’ve always been too big for me too (which still didn’t stop me buying three over the years) so I’m excited about the U50.

Any excuse to re-post pics of this beauty

The U1 is one I keep going back to. If they did one with a white dial I'd be straight in there.

I've been eyeing this up on Jura for the last few weeks Andy, would like to see it in the flesh when all this blows over.

Cracking - I thought I wanted a blue Pelagos until I saw this when you first posted your pics.

Thanks, just had a quick Google. For me it's missing the red accents that the black and blue have.

It should have been drowned at birth. Like the camouflage one.

I'd be more than happy to show it to you - we're well overdue a curry.

Agreed, but with that depth rating maybe think of another way of killing it?

[BillN]

lovely images

another watch I need to experience

£1,400 to £2,000 depending on strap? - seem to be a bargain new if your wrists support the size of the watch, it is 44mm?

[Cat7]

Good idea Tony

Such an amazing watch... Let's see yours.

I should know better than to get involved with one of your photo threads because your pics are always superb but here are a few of my snaps...













Cheers!

^^^^^ Frankly, I don't think you have much to worry about

[chrisvh]

My U1 on a Di Modell Chronissimo. Lovely watch to wear.

Papa's loss has been my gain:



Just what I was looking for - just when I least expected it!

Hope the Breitling is worth it

You always set the bar a little too high from the get-go when you open up these photo threads Tony :-)

Sorry mate, I'll try to blur them or something in future

[Routers]

Still have mine but not worn it recently.Probably my first really good watch.

[smoz]

Love my U1-W, it's the perfect holiday watch. Here's a couple of old pictures, still got the watch.

[TaketheCannoli]

The new smaller case models might just become the ultimate tool watch. Some amazing watches and photos here chaps

[Nono]

Some amazing shots in this thread, but I gotta give credit to Tony's pics, these are catalog quality.

Here's a few mine on various straps

[wileeeeeey]

Anyone had both the regular and an SDR? Thoughts?

[gladders]

I'd like to see this in the U50 case — the U1 Professional:

I've worried that the U series watches would drown me but the U50 is spot on. Now if Sinn could do the same to the U2 and UX...

[andy tims]

Anyone had both the regular and an SDR? Thoughts?

Yes. I thought they were both great - no great preference.

[learningtofly]

Yes - had both, loved both.

[wileeeeeey]

Thanks chaps, but you're meant to be making the decision making process easier by telling me one is clearly better than the other! I'll try them on in person once the world is back to normal alongside the U50 models.

You're very kind. Great images from you too, and just confirms to me that I need that U50 once it hits the market.

[golf]

Thanks I now need to have one of these in my life!
If anyone knows where there is one for sale please point me in the right direction.
That is absolutely stunning to me.

The U1 Professional was an LE of 100 for the NA market a few years back. Was actually designed with input from a friend of mine. This is hands down my favorite iteration of the U1, bar none. No Date, EZM1-inspired dial and destro setup, improved lume, domed crystal, and more subdued color scheme. They rarely come up for sale. There is Sinn facebook group and there was one up for sale there a couple of weeks ago I believe.

Seems to be (and I don't mean this at-all dissmissively) a grab bag of UX case, U1 dial and hands, and bezel from the U1W - apart from the "professional" printing, it *should* be something Sinn could make as a bespoke order if people struggle to find them.

And there's me thinking you were getting up to some hardcore log cutting!

Trying the U1 on a NATO today - bought the strap from ebay for another watch entirely (which it didn't suit), but loving it on the Sinn

That looks great. I've always liked the U1 on nylon... probably my favourite look for it, actually.

Thanks - do you recall where you got the one in you picture from? I like the look, and prefer a single-layer pull-thru type where possible.
