    Sinn U50 anybody got one yet? where is best to buy?

    As per the title really, im looking to pick one up. I had a U1 once upon a time but like most people I found it too big, this new smaller version is the perfect tool watch for me.

    Jura have 10% off Sinn at the moment. I ordered a U50 through them last week (and was quoted a maximum of 13 weeks with a 10% deposit paid).

    I think that entirely black (DLC or PVD) watches wear smaller than untreated watches of the same dimensions. So, despite having the smallest wrists in the world, I actually found the PVD U50 subjectively too small for me. Don't take my quick turnaround as an objective comment on the watch. I'm sure I'll buy the regular version one day (or the full 44mm PVD version).

    Interesting. I can't find the tegimented bracelet option though?

    You can order it as an option by phone. It’s cheaper than ordering tegimented through Sinn, too.

    Fab Tony, thanks. I'm very tempted to ring them and place an order.

    Standard bezel with bracelet, fully tegimented. That said, I’ll be sticking it on a cherry Zulu the moment it arrives, which is how I wore the U1 when I had it.

    It’s a Maratac 3-ring Zulu. I bought some a few years ago from a guy in the US but I can’t source them any more. I think Watch Obsession might have something similar but they never have any stock (unless it was someone else).

    I think this one was a Hirsch Robby.

    Yep - better option, for me at least.

    Top, thanks! Nice combinations. A decent wait, clearly the demand is there for this watch. I think a better option as well compared to the MM300. I'd have maybe been tempted by the DLC bezel, but otherwise I think good option.

    Be interested to hear how heavy this feels on the bracelet.

    Now mine is also gone I've been thinking of that as an option. Really nice watch.

    The U50 is better looking than the U1 imo. Even forgetting the size on wrist it's a better proportioned dial.
