Mike on a bike Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 The good: Well first off bracelet brushed so easy to maintain, also dial easy to read for my old eyes, size 43 mm so not to big not to small, movement SW 200 modified by ML their 115. Can not find case height looking from pics 14 I'd say, well buy or not 2200 USDs. The bad: could get Gen Black Bay or Breit SOH for 7-8 hundred more, they are more well known better resale I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Nice but at 45 x 17.5 to big to wear comfortably, have the wrist but find the height not for me in addition dial to busy for my old eyes........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 could get Gen Black Bay or Breit SOH for 7-8 hundred more, they are more well known better resale I would imagine. Definitely this:) or saving up for the Italo Fontana U-Boat U-51 Chimera Bronze if there is a well priced 2nd hand one floating around, perfect for larger wrists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegasvic Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 It's a nice looking watch Mike, for sure. (The ML diver) You don't see any of those in the wild, but it looks like it would have great wrist presence, it's beautiful, and you can wear that with a wet suit or a Canali just as easily. The BB and Breit are very nice too. They get the edge with wrist status here. Those Sinns are awesome too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 That is the problem a lot of nice ones out there around that price point. Also ML nice but most know nothing of watches I have /can get plenty of micro brands look as good cheaper the Breit is a Breit and Tudor welll now is a Tudor, Sin is a competely different animal the quality /toughness is second to none (capsule inside movement ,tegmentation) Look at ML then this same vein inner rotating bezel $575 shipped 500 meters water proof, double domed saphire w AR.

fraggle42 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I like that Sinn U1, been looking at them myself and non tegimented ones are about £1250 from chrono 24. Am I that clumsy I want to spend extra for the hardened case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Finally found height on ML diver 16mm ,maybe a bit to big for under the cuff, damn! Fraggle if going Sinn get the teg! Getting a Sinn without teg ,well what's the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted April 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 At 40 x 10.7 this one in the lead ,full teg! Just put on a U1 I had around (still in plastic!) to cumbersome for daily, so again above looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggle42 Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Fraggle if going Sinn get the teg! Getting a Sinn without teg ,well what's the point. Found this one here for £1672.79 all in, but I've never heard of the company, Page and Cooper? AJ have you heard of these guys? Anyone? There are a lot on Chrono24 but the description is in German and my German is not good enough to figure out if they include tea or not (they all have it on the bezel) Well I've just sold two cars so have readies floating round, it'd be rude not too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
