ziplepingouin Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Hello all, Just dropping by to say hello, I'm kinda a watch enthusiast for about a couple of years now. I have a Sinn 856 bought a year ago approx from official dealer in Belgium. A great everyday watch, also a big fan of Bretling watches in general. I didn't really know there is a community for rep watches, and the reviews are really great! Moreover the community seems very friendly here...! So looking forward for my first rep, probably a Skyland, definately a great watch, and of course I'll check the forum to gather all the info and find interesting places to buy. See Ya!

ziplepingouin Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thanks guys for the warm welcome! Here is a pic of my Sinn 856 (gen), really a great everyday watch: I'm looking know for a rep that can complement this, something "bold" like a Seawolf or a Skyland, which one do you guys advise me? I read already the different reviews (very nice btw), where would you guys advise me buy it? I saw that Trusty watch seems to be right the place, but are the watches different if bought from different shop? And last question, would you call the Asia Valjoux "reliable"? Thanks a lot in advance, and not sure if I should post a seperate topic with all my questions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot in advance, and not sure if I should post a seperate topic with all my questions... That is a very nice Sinn...the ar looks very well done...your crystal seems to have vanished. The Breitling SW(excellent rep) are not available at the moment...maybe In a few more months. I would like to get a yellow dial one day. The Skyland is a excellent rep...I would take a good look around here and read some of the reviews. I believe there are a few used ones for sale in the "watches" section. Trustywatchguy...Andrew...Is one of RWG's most trusted dealers. I have had many reps with the A7750...no serious problems to report so far. But If you plan on keeping It for more than a year or so...then It's a good idea to have It serviced. It's a excellent movement In my opinion. Good luck.

ziplepingouin Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Hey Mike, Thanks for the appreciation! I read sometimes that the Sinn AR is not that great and blabla, but I beleive it is not true. The glass does really disappear, and still after more than one year of use, not a single scratch on the glass! Regarding the Avenger seawolf, are they sold out? Because I see them on Andrew's website. What I like on the Seawolf is the ETA movement, so no problem on long term I suppose. Regarding the service of A7753, should it be done every year? Thanks!

Well the AR on your Sinn sure looks good to me....the dial is nice and clear. Although the dealers show the SW on there sites...they are not available now...hopefully soon. After you have your watch serviced...It should be good for at least five years Imo....If not longer. Hope this helps. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziplepingouin Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Thanks for the feedback, mch appreciated! I think I'll wait then, and lurk around the forum a little, it will probably ease the wait...or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XFi Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I'm a Belgian too and am wondering if you guys have had any problems with customs... Should I use the transshipment option Trusty offers or not? Thx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
