The Sinn 556 thread

[gregflat9]

Hello:

My name is Diego and I am beginner in this forum. Excuse my english, I am thinking to buy a Sinn 556 and I would like to know your opinion.
Is it a light watch? Is it easy to wear?

Regards.

Diego.

Light and easy to wear? YES!

The 556 is based upon the 2824-2 movement so it wont be either large or heavy. I have the metal bracelet and it's been excellent.

Check this thread for photos and links - you'l get a feel for the size. At 38.5mm it's not the biggest watch in the world. Will suit a 7" wrist.

I'm after a 556 (great looking wristwatch), but I would rather get a pre-owned one, however I've been looking for a while now and have no luck. I'm in the UK. Any ideas people?? Many Thanks.

Just a footnote...MY Sinn 556 is now running plus 1 or 2 seconds over night (it used to be five). I didn't think it would take a month to 'settle down'.

It's normal with the 2824-2... I've experienced the same with Sinn watches with that movt. My 556 was the same. It's been as good as gold since.

hi all

here's mine...

My 556 grows on me more everyday. I think this might be the last watch that I would get rid of in my collection.

Just came across this pic on uhren.com.de. Why some of the movements in 556 are decorated, while some are not?
The one pictured below comes with perlage.

Hi gregflat9, most of them I saw on the net were not deocrated with perlage. (See pics below gathered from Flickr). The one posted on post#107 even comes with blue screws.
