Chronus Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Anyone like the Sinn U series? I love the construction, german U-boat steel, and tegimented to make it harder than usual. No bezel insert as the bezel is all one metal piece. The numbers and dashes are milled in. The argon filled case, the capsule to let you know if there's any water getting in. Over-engineered to the extreme just for a wristwatch... A repwould defeat the reason for getting one! I guess this one will be great for going for a shower or taking a dip in the pool Sadly for us in the EU, these are in CONUS Sinn U1 $1575 hxxp://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=3788572&rid=0 Sinn U2 $1850 (great price!) hxxp://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=3788012&rid=0 (replace hxxp to http in the above links when copying and pasting into a window) Anyone else love these watches?

dadog13 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 I love the U1...so clean and simple...awesome watch! from time to time it can be found even for a couple of $ less...however, from what I've read about Sinn watches in general they are well worth each $ that you pay them... one day I will get myself the U1...

takashi Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Me! I am an avid Sinn fan. Put deposit on Sinn U2 S but sadly it's gonna be delayed till mid August at the earliest. Currently own a 203 Ti Chrono, used to own 656 and 756. The price is not that "excellent". Has seen many on eBay Germany for less than that on bracelet.

You have a point, probably more plentiful and cheaper in Germany ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 if you're persistent, you can pick up a very gently used sinn u2 on a rubber strap for ~$1,500 -- banging deal on an amazing watch deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Ok... That's an EXCELLENT deal. Box, papers? How old? 1500USD is a steal price for this amazing piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiparks Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) hugely... I have a 144 gmt and a 142 (though it's the Bell and Ross branded version) i'm on the lookout for the 757 utc.... Many of you may already know this site... search all for sale watch forums Put in the brand and the # of days you want to back-search....... you can also look for firearms and, of course, houses for your aquatic finned friends, so, a little bit of something for everyone, then....

hank7502 Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 (edited) I had to sell my U1, I was sick to give it up. I paid $1200.00 and sold it on ebay for $1750.00. Rock solid construction, kept perfect time and they are reasonably priced. I will get another!! Edited June 13, 2008 by hank7502 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Ok... That's an EXCELLENT deal. Box, papers? How old? yeah, i got a screaming deal -- no doubt about that.....it was without a box, but with the warranty card, which i was totally fine with. in terms of how old, the watch was about 3 months old when i got it, and in immaculate condition i believe the old adage "good things come to those who wait" is particularly true in the used watch market -- if you're willing to keep an eye out for the right piece at the right price, you're sure to find some sucker that's willing to take a big bath on a piece in great condition just to get some quick cash. a lot of the time, these are folks who buy a watch, keep it for 4-5 months, then realize they would prefer to have something else. we're lucky -- we can buy reps of those marginal, "nice to have" watches, and focus our genuine purchasing on watches that we KNOW we will love forever (or at the very least, for a long time to come). just my $0.02, deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
