swdivad Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hey all... I've just been offered a trade deal for a gen Sinn. Are my suspicions correct that these are reps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Which Sinn do you have ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Yeah those are FAF. (Fake as feck) Furthermore, why would anyone trade what is (if real) nearly $20k in watches for a Sinn, no offense but they're typically under $3500 or under $5000 (that's part of their appeal, they're good watches) but why? unless they were asking you for cash in trade as well? Lots of red flags mate. Both of those are all wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swdivad Posted October 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 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! 21 hours ago, Mike on a bike said: Which Sinn do you have ? 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Yes - your suspicions are indeed correct. The genuine single red Deepsea Jacques Piccard is an extremely limited edition - only 86 pieces made. So yeah, anyone wanting to trade one + cash towards a Sinn would not be doing themselves any favours. Obviously the one here is so fake that it doesn’t even have a single letter in red on the dial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After looking into this particular version, it seems all the reps are #18/86... same as this seller's... what a coincidence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted October 19, 2019 Report Share Posted October 19, 2019 Was hoping you had a 856 and yes those a bit big but the rep I had wore pretty comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 With my wrist just under 8.5 inches I can wear that no problem and I said wore well, I just like them 40 and below for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
