Basel: Pictures from new Sinns, by Marcus aka oyster

[oyster]

just came back from Basel.
The weather was bad, the hostess were ok, Rolex was as arrogant as normal, plenty of watches (of curse it´s a watch fair) and the Sinn people were helpful and nice as usual.
Will post some more pics later.
-U models with new metal strap, veeeery heavy,SEL, bigger bolts (pic #6), looks really great but just 316L
- new 142
regards oyster B-)

Thanks Marcus. I'm glad you had a good time. A monstrous thank you goes out to ya for those great pics. I really like the metal bracelet for the U's. Somehow, that's exactly how I figured they would look. The bracelet is classic Sinn. The 316L doesn't bother me much as my U2 is not a piece of jewellery. It's a constant companion. That bracelet will do fine.

This bracelet rocks, when I called Sinn Sales yesterday, they explained very unenthusiastic that it was only steel. But this looks fantastic and is solid, just what you need with a U watch.

It´s really a " tank-cain" , very solid and the price is a bargain! :-p

Martin, what was the price tag on the bracelet. What will it cost us?

[autrichon gris]

Thanks for the nice pics.

How is the diving extension on these steel bracelets ? Like other Sinn steel bracelets ?

I'm glad they put new type of screws !

here is the new 142 II :-!

No, the extension is different ! :-!
More solid.
The price was something around 130 or 150 €, I don´t remember

Hi,

thanks for the nice pics. In my opinion, the U-bracelet matches.


...SEL...


Solid end links are only a horological sensation at Rolex. No need to mention that on a Sinn ;-)

Gruß aus Kölle... :-!

Is it me or do the end links in that pic of the U Series bracelet look hollow?O|

If they are hollow then that kills it for me, every hollow end link braclet I have had from EZM1 to Breitling SOP rattled and looked cheap.

Please Sinn, make sure they are solid end links!

Alphonse

Don´t worry,
they are much better than the EZM 1 ones. But don´t forget the price, it´s really cheap !!! for such a good quality.
And please don´t forget even the Rolex´s SEL are still hollow inside !
So for this price there is nothing to argue.

for all U2 LOVERs:

The German Germanischer Loyd has tested and certyfied the U2 Sinn in Frankfurt to resist 1h of 2000 m and 2500 m for 15 min.

Sorry,
I am very selective and I am just on fire for the 142 and U models. So I didn´t pay much attention on the regulator. But I do have a pic. Here it is ....
(don´t get me wrong it´s agreat watch but not my type)
regards oyster :-)

here is a movement shot as well :-p

The Sinn Regulator in Silver is a sweet watch. Love the 44mm size. Now, I'm going to the want to spend more $'s on German watches. :-D Thanks for sharing Oyster! :-!

[bart]

Great pics, Oyster - thanks.

New bracelet is no surprise - typical Sinn look. I like the allen head screws. Nice price on it. Folded end links are a little disappointing, which it appears to have. The UX still has my favorite dial of these.

The Regulateur isn't really my style either, but a great looking watch.

this is a very nice one , sorry have to mark all photos (some will be published)
It´s not a Sinn :-D

[sleepingjohn]

Thank you for the pics! I can't wait to order my bracelet!:-!

Oyster, do you have more pics from basel? Could you email me them if you don't mind? I couldn't make it this year, but I will try my best to go in '07. mvagustaspr@gmail.com

[Kool Cat]

Great post and pics Oyster. Must say the metal bracelet for the U series is up to my expectations.

In terms of the 142, I still like the look of the Lemania 5100 dial, looks less cluttered but to each his own.

Must say the Regulator is an interesting piece, and looks like Chronoswiss will have competition :-D But I find the minute markings a little odd as it does not quite blend in with the hour or seconds marking. But that's just my personal opinion :roll:

I am just surprised that there were no other surprises :-D from Sinn

[pacchi]

Wow, guys can't wait to drive to Basel tomorrowand see these pieces in person!

Thanks OYSTER for the nice shots. |>
I think it's a nice watch but size might be too big for being a classical watch. Do I want to wear such a watch with a diametre of 44mm in ten years from now ?

Just my opinion.

I prefer bigger sizes for sporty watches like U1, EZM etc.

Cheers

cases and bracelets. I love the look of the U-series, but I won't be buying one any time soon if they don't have the same tegimented cases and bracelets as the 756 and 856. It seems like a backward step to me.http://forums.watchuseek.com/images/icons/confused.gif

[KILOFINAL]

Thanks oyster!! The pics are great. I really like the shot of the regulater amd the design of the crown. The larger case size at 44mm is nice to see. I have noticed that whenever I see Sinn watches in the box from any source outside of the U.S, the watch always seems to include the screwdriver.

It doesn't seem right to get a Sinn watch and see the empty loops where the screwdriver would normally go.

thanks for the pics...sinns' being making all the right 'moves' for me the last 3years and continues to do so:gold . i must admit i am even warming ip to the regulateur :-)

cheers / g

I have noticed that whenever I see Sinn watches in the box from any source outside of the U.S, the watch always seems to include the screwdriver.

I have never received a screwdiver with any of my Sinns ... it is only included for free in the higher-end (=expensive) Sinn watches. I don't think it is a specific US-related policy ... although I agree that it is a disadvantageous policy to use boxes with empty loops. Maybe two different kinds of boxes (one with screwdriver, one without loops and screwdriver) would have averted some misundertstandings.
