Almost returning home is my gen super beater Sinn U1... It's an original 2005 ETA model, and there were some scratches on the AR as well as the bezel action not being so smooth any longer. I've been able to source a U2 crystal, which is domed as opposed to original U1 flat xtal, and it has no AR on the outside... That's getting installed now, along with a new bezel mechanism 🙂 A new Sinn silicone strap is on it's way as well, which I will size a little looser to make up for all the awesome food I ate throughout the winter! 😄 So, I'll be really happy when it all arrives back... it will be like a getting a whole new watch! This FiiO X1 II DAP is coming in December from MassDrop for pretty cheap, I hope it's as great as I hope it is! I've never had a DAP before, and my music collection is all over the shop at the moment.

My daily

ok... that sucks if you need to rotate through 24 hours

Sounds good, but can't you change the date independently?

Nice watch mate! How do you feel about the build quality (bezel/crown lever tightness, line-up of features, etc), and does the jumping hour work as in the video?

That dial is for an 116500

The Noob dial's defects are very noticeable, IMHO ARF has done it pretty well, but I can't get one... it's so fkng frustrating because Noob knows the problems, and they just keep releaseing shinola

DAYTONA font is better than noob but text still looks too light

Yes, the U1000 is a large watch at almost 133g; the rubber strap and clasp does even out the weight so it doesn't wear top heavy. My U1 wears about 20g less at 113g, which is OK for me even on an elastic nylon strap:

After looking into this particular version, it seems all the reps are #18/86... same as this seller's... what a coincidence!

He just sent this photo as well:

Thanks guys, I figured that much. the guy wanted to have a go at my watch and some cash his way! He said trade value is 7-10k, no boxes/papers and it was given to him as a gift! I'm selling my U1000, as I'm going for lighter watches these days I also have a U1 and EZM9, but they're not for sale:

Hey all... I've just been offered a trade deal for a gen Sinn. Are my suspicions correct that these are reps?

vodka!

Just in.... and I like it!

I thought PC was not in the business anymore... Does he have these 177s anymore? I've been looking for the old PAMs like this or a 55/56 but haven't been able to source one from the current TDs

Nice, but seems like a lot of contrast between the layers... does it look like that in real life?

The one and only original PAM196 PVD is repaired and still with me...
