SOS - Sinn Owners of Singapore

[Kool Cat]

Hey, someone mentioned Kool Cat?

Actually, i am quite old, being 37 and has started on the Sinn journey like a few years back. But I AM NOT THAT OLD OK

Well, it would be great to have a get together of sorts, especially if everyone is keen. AND YES, pse bring those Sinn watches of yours, and if you have the even more unusual Sinn watches, like the 156, 903 H2 and 142, pse bring them so that others have a chance to look at them and feel how they are.

Now, will someone like to set a time and place so that we can all possibly gather at least once, in the new year?

Looks like an arrow has just been shot yah. Wonder who's fast enuff to grab it? Well you got to consider me a NATO (not the watch strap tho). I'm bad at organising meet ups, been doing that the last few years for my class gathering and I'm always stood up by my classmates

But you can count on me for other stuffs such as sourcing for Polo Shirts, Caps and etc as I do that for my students twice a year...

Oops I hope I didn't get myself into any sorts of trouble.... kekekeke...

Ok, now everyone knows you are a teacher in the civil service when you talk like that, shooting arrows and NATO (No Action, Talk Only)

Well, I would not mind organising one except for the fact that interest may wane after a date is suggested, as everyone backs out saying they have family commitment, Mother in Law's birthday etc etc.

I tell you what guys, why don't we have a show of hands how many die die will sure turn up, less that day we all get recalled to go to war.

If the response is good, then I will organise one. The last thing I want is to set a date and venue and then on paper, everyone say AYE, while in reality everyone goes missing giving all sorts of reasons/excuse like working late, blah blah.

How does that sound?

Haiz.... I 'd like to show my utmost support, but I have restrictions...

like .....I got to fetch my boy from school at 6, send him home, put him to sleep before I can get out, that will mean I can only be freed out at about 10pm. But good news is there are exceptions! I can ask my wife to bring my kid to the in-laws for the time you guys arrange the meeting. Except for Thurs nights weekdays nights are fine.

There's a vehicle forum in Singapore that meets on Fri nights from 10pm to wee hours at an open car park in the central with a coffeeshop, can drink ginger tea and such..... that might be a good suggestion for ppl who has family commitments.... just some thoughts.... from me again .....

Sorry to disappoint you Koolcat, but I ain't no teacher......

hey guys, nice to see this thread getting going again :) i'm currently agonizing over a decision to purchase a U1 or a UX... im kinda leaning towards the U1 as it is slightly cheaper... HOWEVER! for a little extra money, i can get goodies like an oil filled watch with chronometer accuracy. am i going for too much tech? seriously im not gonna dive even to 1000m, so the unlimited depth for the UX is quite moot. however the display really rocks!

or should i use the extra cash and buy myself an extra U1 bracelet.

any owners of the U1 here? how about the UX? any thoughts?

Decisions decisions!

... only if it's after the 4th of Feb. Fridays are daughter's ballets classes. Saturdays are family days and Sundays are reserved for house-keeping! *sighs* The bane of being a working family man. But hey! On the bright side, it pays enough to buy more watches! :gold Evenings after 2000hrs are best.

Hoo-AH!

If you ask me, YES! If you've been reading the other threads regarding the UX on the forum, it's a ..... to service when the time comes for a battery change. Sure, it was cool to look at(at ANY angle) when I was at HG in Millenia Walk.

Pardon my ignorance, but how much does a U2 cost in Singapore anyway?

This thread is HAPPENING man Lets keep it up.

To U-ship, for a moment I thought you were a teacher as you mention getting polo shirts and caps for your students twice a year. U part time tuition teacher is it

To Nicholasmk, the decision is really yours to make between a U1 and UX. I think the U1 is really hard to come by and I hear still got waiting list, while I have seen several UX readily available in many HG showcase recently. But as correctly pointed out by some, the UX requires servicing to be done in Germany (for now). Also, the difference is that UX is a quartz watch but the battery life last 7 years, so I think a service once every 7 years is fair amount of time, don't you think?

To WayPoint and U-ship, understand the family constraints. That is why I am always hesistant to organise any gatherings even though I am for it myself. The trouble about living in Singapore is that we have so many things to be committed to, work being the biggest culprit. Then the family also takes up a lot of our time, like exams for the kids. Thank god I don't have kids Seriously, I don't mind having a gathering past 10pm but how many will show up, REALLY? Can we have a show of hands? The rest of you, what other restrictions/restraints do you have, lets hear them...:thanks

It is retailing in HG for $4470, but they say the price might go up soon.

To all SingaBro, anyone who is interested to get any model unavailable in Sin can let me know the model and price in Sin. I'm now in Frankfurt and was very lucky to get my U2 here in one of the shop. It is just slightly cheaper but getting it is the most satisfying. Anyway, I'm going to the Sinn factory tomorrow for a visit. So leave me your HP no. if you really keen so I can sms you. No aeroplane please. Cheers!!
