SOS - Sinn Owners of Singapore

[U-ship]

Oh no Kool Cat, if its Fridays, then I'm done.... I got something on on Fridays. But nonetheless, its the majoritys that matters... if its 830pm then I think I might also have problems....

But I should think it would be a great meeting! I can almost foresee it already.... Do keep us posted so that we can try to make plans or arrangements....

Cheers

Yes, the nice chaps at Bonfield will do that. However, there is a difference in that it depends on the medium being used for the process. Sand blasting will cause some material to removed while glass or sapphire media is more like shot-peening where the surface might be hardened to an extent to resist scratches and scuffs.

I was quoted $250 before to refinish my Sinn 157. Yet to do it, though.

When I we met up on Sat Waypoint did mentioned Bonfields at Commonwealth does BB as for charges... I ain't too sure....

First, allow me to congratulate the SOS for organising yourselves into this cult of owners of this watch!

I had predicted the watch will be a success but I would not have thought that the brand would reach this level of loyalty!

I have just published a review by owners of the U1 of their experiences with the watch after 1 year. Hopefully you will find it useful.

Wow, it's an honour to have you here Prof. Tan. I admire your watch blog and time you dedicate to watch community

Hi Hary

Its always a pleasure for me to meet (either online or in person) other watch enthusiasts and I am so pleased to learn that there is a strong community of Sinn followers here in Singapore.

Sinn is a one of the few brands - which I have articulated at length at various forums - that I personally consider as honest watch companies making honest watches.

They deserve the support because they are not about hype and fashion fever. They make tool watches and they have the capability to last a generation or more.

Thanks for your kind words about my blog. I am glad to have your support!

Cheers
Harry

Actually Hary, everyone who is into the U-series were once or another influenced by Harry's (or rather Prof Tan's) review. I mean who would dare purchase such a watch without his careful review.

Plus, the most recently posted Long Term Review (1 year) of the Sinn U1, it generally gives buyers, or potential buyers more legitimate reasons to purchase that deep-monster series. So potnetial buyers! Why think wishy washy? It's been proven, tested, writen, stamped and posted!

But I got to say Harry really put our red dot on an international platfoam for horology! I think STB, EDB and MND should confer you an award for doing us proud man! kekeke

No offence to Prof Tan or anyone in this forum, I like to think that I made up my mind independently on my purchase of my U2 and was not unduly swayed/influence by anyone's comments or blog. I like to think I am not a mindless idiot that follows trend. In addition, I had bought a U2, not U1 so I cannot be accused of following others in their footsteps.

Also, I think we will all be doing Prof Tan a disservice by giving him a medal from any of the government agencies if his intention was honourable, that is to promote this little red dot as a watch hub. While you may consider it appropriate to award him a medal for him to accept it, it may have implications for the man.

Moreover, I am sure he is adequately rewarded in other ways that you cannot even dream off, so what would a medal mean to him unless it comes in the form of a Patek Nautilius 5712 or something even more expensive

Prof Tan, that picture of that guy chewing his watch is really gross.
