gtanak Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Just noticed from several dealer's websites, some stating that it's a genuine stripped down quality replica, that they are offering the Sinn Ux in Swiss ETA 2836. Do take a read below and also on Sinn website about HYDRO tech and why the GEN is only in Quartz. The outside cosmetic might be a 90% fit but the inside is 100% out. Plus of course, it will never do what HYDRO is supposed to do, read the dial at almost every angle underwater. An absolute must for a diver's watch HYDRO Absolutely free from fogging, pressure-resistant at any accessible diving depth and perfect readability from any angle under water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Good nfo Sounds a lot like the model that B&R do that's full of oil for the same reasons. Pretty cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Maybe someone could try modding the rep with a Miyota movement and a bottle of Crisco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtanak Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Plus you gotta wonder the surprise the watchsmith is gonna get finding his whole desk full of some oily liquid when he pops the hood for a battery change or something... or in my case, he sees some jalapeno or olive oozing out from my watch along with the olive oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szvwj Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Caster Oil is used often inside enclosures that are used for undersea use. Fluorinert is also used, but it's more expensive and harder to get. It would be fun to try it on a quartz watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its already in the planning i hear, after taking apart a GEN SiNN UX, its been discovered the oil is sealed on the dial side by soldering the insides. The oil is released via means of a plug. I'm not involved in this project but will try to get more info and updates as they move along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtanak Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Just heard from my dealer the factories do not intend to make a Quartz version, which of course is what the Gen uses. Reason is Sinn Ux is not as popular as they anticipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
