Anyone know a good place to pick up a 556? I'm an affordables guy but I'm thinking of some serious collection liquidation and this Sinn really caught my eye.
I waited and waited for one to pop up on the sale forums, but when they finally did they weren't marked down very much. I finally just bit the bullet and ordered from Watchbuys, should be here next week, soooooo excited!Originally Posted by DPflaumer
Just got it yesterday and it's beautiful!
I got it on leather but will 100% be purchasing the bracelet soon. Also just ordered a couple NATOs.
I will say one thing, either this makes my U1 look huge or this looks tiny, will have to wear it for a few days. I barely notice its there.
the 556 might be my next sinn. it's simple but remarkably elegant. :)
Just received my Sinn 556 today. It's incredibly STUNNING ........ blew my socks off by it's beautiful simplicity. Execution and quality overall is amazing. Absolutely love it!

Sinn 556
The Sinn 556 is such a lovely watch..I was close to getting one myself. I picked up a my current 656 in a trade though.
Current collection: Damasko DA 36 Black | Grand Seiko SBGR053 | Omega Aqua Terra 8500 | Omega Planet Ocean 2500D | Stowa Antea KS | Stowa Baumuster B| Casio G-Shock GW -5600E
Does anyone knows the history of the Sinn 556. Like when is it first manufactured? And whether there are any changes along its years of manufacture? Is there any way to tell which year my Sinn is made by the serial number?
And is the Sinn 556 still being made? It is gorgious. HOW did they do that since it seems like a simple design? It has a look of the 50's a little, and a look of a mighty IWC too- the IWC Ingenier. I love the automatiK. Just like the Kompressor on that small Mercedes or is it on the Jaeger LeCoultre watch, or on both? Anyway, it's a stroke of genius. Simple, clean, elegant, beautiful. Hints from J-L, IWC and from Mercedes. Class on a stick. You'd look good wearing one in a big Bierhall in Munchen or in those cool bars in A-Dam. It would pass muster at a soiree at Buckingham Palace too, I believe.

Trying to decide between the 556 and 856 - mostly because of the case. I think I'd go ahead and get the 556, but I've read that the satinized case scratches easily. I'd love to hear any thoughts re the durability of the satinized case and if anyone has tried using one of those brushes that supposedly get rid of scratches. Thanks
I have a few questions:
- Is the crystal domed?
- Does it still come with the decorated movement?
- How good is the lume? Does it use C-1 or C-3 (or something different)?
