Sinn U2

Since I've had one of these beauties on order for over a week now, I've been staring at pictures of reps and gens to quell my impatience.

I've spotted a couple of things that the makers could do with changing ( They sorted the second hand out pretty quick).

The font on the bezel is wrong, it shows up especially when you compare the numbers 2's.

The hour and gmt hand overlap the 24hr indicies slightly. On the gen they fall quite short of overlapping.

So, either the hands are a bit too long or the diameter of the 24hour printing is too small, don't know which.

None of this puts me off the watch at all, its still a fantanstic peice but we do like to spot the tells ,don't we. :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Yes, the numbers on the bezel should be more of the "ETA- datefont type". Still, they match well with the font used for the U2-logo. From what I can judge from pictures, this font is correct for the U1. The gen U1 also has a flat crystal, while on the U2 it should be slightly domed. So, the U1 replica might be a bit closer to gen? Still, this is nit-picking. I tends more towards the U2. :)

As for the hands, IMHO it is better with slightly longer hands than too short.
