looks amazing! do you think that with a relume by finepics for instance the numbers could be made to look more like the genuine (which is a non-sandwich dial with "crooked" numbers)? cause that would be the icing on the cake imho.. but apart from that small detail a fantastic watch!

I'm in

pics of the real deal for reference: and the saphire crystal on the genuine has a pretty intense AR coating so the dial really has a blue glow. cheers, fitch

beautifull!!!!

that's just toooo freakin funny...

well... after following this closely i would like to comment. namor writes over and over that his issue is that he paid 640 usd for a watch which had numerous flaws. obviously he is not happy about that. he is not upset with the price he is upset that he paid such an amount for a watch which had flaws. joe's defense is that namor didn't pay for certain modds and it seems that this would implicate that joe will not notice any flaws.. now if this is true that would be completey unacceptable and unprofessional to me. it is like he would notice the crooked crystal but hey, the customer didn't pay me so i am not going to fix it... i also do think that joe's prices implicate that he will do more then a professional job so the expectations will be high, so again i can understand customers being upset.. i don't really get all other things that are making this thread (interesting to read) yet very confusing.. i think the main issue here is that a customer paid a price for modds and received a watch that had flaws and the defense of the person who did the modds was that the customer didn't pay for those modds so that means he is not going to "notice" the wrongs in the watch were imo he should not have accepted the watch to start with. one very easy way to avoid this in the future: check the watches befgore you begin and tell people what modds would be nessecary in your opinion! obviously be honoust about this, i know tommy does this on the watches he modds for me and i trust his judgement. if he says that the insert is fine the way it is i trust him and won't buy a new insert from him (and he is honoust enough to tell me).. this still is a hobby you know.. wouldn't that be a way of avoiding these problems in the future? off to work and curious how peops will respond to this...

I'm sorry man but that's just uncalled for imo...

wouldn't it be better to try and get a response from Joe before this thread goes on and on? I assume he would like to tell his side of the story..

Awesome pics!

Great combo Randy!! looks saweeeet!!!

@robbie: do you know from which region the watch will be shipped? it does sound very promising! can't wait to see the pics of the movement when you have them! cheers, fitch

I might have missed that, sry about that, but I sure didn't wet my pants just being a bit cautious i guess.. comes with the teritory

@ubi; with you on that one! although i do tend to buy genuines if there's not a good rep available and if i can afford it

@ Quarks; try this link: http://www.sinn.de/onlineshopPRO/TEMPLATE/....php?id=756.020 you can also request a catalog which they will send for free and it's a wunderfull catalog!! @ Craytonic; I am soo not getting that...

I recently got this one; It is such a beautifull watch for such a GREAT price!!!! This is by far my favorite Sinn!! (It's the Sinn 756.S) this is what it looks like with the original black leather strap; beautifull but not "tough" enough, so I replaced it with a black military nylon strap with PVD buckle (see other images):

Ey Randy, any idea when you will be getting yours? I was about to order one myself but I'm very interested what your take is on the overall quality..

ok! that would explain it!

it's a bit hard to tell on the pics but how is the recessed pin? on king's site i couldn't find any info regarding the crystal; do you know if it's mineral? cheers! fitch

i got the same; two pm's which i cannot open, one from kenberg and one from you?!?!

i got the military nylon strap with pvd buckle for my sinn 756.s and it looks great! shipping and service was also very good so it's a good company as well!

thanks for the kind words offshore glad to contribute
