The Sinn 556 thread

[G Shock]

thanks to you all for the kind words. The bracelet is the usual Sinn quality, price of the watch is 490EUR on leather and 615EUR on bracelet.

It comes with the usual Sinn swag (guarantee card, instruction manual, strap changing tool and threadlock)

It's not usual in the UK! I didn't get a tool, cd or threadlock.

For me this is the best looking Sinn (just a personal opinion). I like the clean simplicity of the dial. I don't have a Sinn yet but I may well get this one.

-Agreed. When my interest in mechanical watches was rekindled some time ago, a Breitling #2 (A Cosmonaute to relieve my Chrono Shark of its wrist duty) was on top of my wish list.

However, after some time spent online, in this forum as well as by reading ArmbandUhren (I can read German quite well; just don't ask me to form a coherent sentence in the language! ;), I lean more and more towards a Sinn as my next purchase - I had the 144GMT in mind, but the 556 really appeals to me. (Heck, I can get both for less than what a Cosmonaute would cost! :)

There wouldn't happen to be a Sinn dealer at either MUC or FRA, would it? (I pass through both several times a year, that's why - buying the watch in Germany would save me 25% Norwegian VAT on the purchase price.)

Me neither. I was e-mailed a pdf of the English manual when I asked for one.

If you are in FRA and FRA is Frankfurt/Main, why not visit the world HQ itself?

-Excellent idea. I was first and foremost thinking of a dealer inside the airport premises, but as the Sinn HQ is just a little cab-ride from the airport...

Next time I'm flying through FRA, I will make sure I have a few hours to spare, allowing me to go see Sinn.

Thanks!

Im bumping this thread simply because Im picking one of these up next week, and I think its an interesting alternative to the aristo pilot's watch I was about to order.

Great photo review.

Yep. This is certainly one of the more affordable from Sinn.
