If the name Sinn is going to appear on the watch he should follow Sinn's original vision.

Your entitled to your opinion, but I think that makes no sense. What's Sinn's original vision? Time moves on. A fact watchowners should appreciate.

Helmut Sinn's original 656 design was brilliant. Schmidt took a huge dump on that brilliant design by making the date slanted.

Lothar Schmidt acquired Sinn in 1994. The 656 was introduced in 2002. I also dislike the slanted date.

Lencoth is right, most of Sinns current line-up has more Schmidt (read IWC) DNA in them than Lothar Sinn DNA. If you want to see Helmut Sinn's original vision look no further than Guinand.

interesting, thanks for pointing them out
the bad news is that now I have to learn all the new model numbers :)

Is the crown on the 856 S Tegimented like the rest of the case?

You know Bo, your mention of Guinand will be making another dent in my wallet... :p

Any ideas when these will be available? That non-UTC 856 is a must have. Size has kept me from the 656 for many years

556A and 856 non-UTC will be available in about a month
