SOS - Sinn Owners of Singapore

[U-ship]

Wow Dracula you still awake at this time eh? Impressive eh... . Hey Drac I got my refund when I returned, don't know if this helps? all you need to do is sent your receipts back to Sinn, but do drop them a mailer first and coordinate the process

Great now we know woodsteel23 is a crew. I beta ya gonna be SOS's new best friend man!

Hey your write up on your factory visit was exactly how I felt the last round I popped by... While I didn't see any old watchmaker there it didn't don on me that those young folks there were actually the ones doing up the watch. I thought the real watchmakers (refering to typically those old man we all think watchmaker should look) were in a special chamber within the buildings concentrating on their work. You know how the building is all glassed and outside view is fresh and clean....

Unfortunately my next trip to Frankfurt is only due next year May , unlike woodsteel23 who's there so often. Envious man!

I did check with the sales-girl, it's only possible to get the refund only if I have the custom stamps.

Stupidly, I did not charge my camera before the trip and thus ended up with no photos, but will take some next time!

Unfortunately, I did not manage to view the actual assembly area and workshop, but perhaps if we indeed band together a tour, something like that could be arranged.

You may note that among the sticky threads of this forum are both the pictorial documentation of a visit to the Sinn company headquarters, and the invitation for a WatchUSeek-sponsored ful tour of the Sinn facilities and discussion with Lothar Schmidt on 23 February 2007.

Hi U-Ship, I was only awake at the time I posted the message because I was in Copenhagen, time difference and all that.

And I forgot to state in my last post, that Crusader and Mike Stuffler were essential to helping me find my way to the Sinn factory, providing me with much info on how to get there.

I wish I could attend the Feb visit to the factory though, but have to work then, sigh.

oic... anyway, you have fun searchinig for the Sinn factory, it wasn't too difficult to find that place... although at first impressions you may think you're heading to someone's residence....

[Kool Cat]

Looks like it has been a worthwhile trip for some then and congrats is in order then...

Thanks Woodsteel23, he is really a fantastic chap. don't know me from Adam, but volunteered to go pick up my Sinn from Frankfurt last. Cool dude was rewarded with a pair of Oakley boots to do all the running next

Take care and cheers! Lets hope we can have a meet up once this year.

Just collected my EZM 1 bracelet from Dracula(sporting a very nice white-faced Explorer II, if I might add) this evening. We had a bit of a chit-chat and found out that a number of Sinners here in Singapore put up in the east.

So marks the end of my search for this bracelet. Time to start saving up for my next target.

SOS should really meet up one of this days. It was rather nice to be able to put a face with the handles here.

Hoo-AH!

Nice meeting you waypoint, and thanks for being so prompt in collecting and paying for your stuff. I always thought I'm very spendthrift, but I might even think twice when paying so much for a bracelet..haha!! But I totally agree with you on your statement "we only live once".

Btw, I met up with U-ship as well and realise we all stay within a few kilometers radius. Besides watches, we ended up talking about where we might have met and other stuffs. So I agree it's a good idea on the SOS meetings, making more friends and talk about other hobbies.

How about this Sat morning for a coffee in the east??

This is just crazy....

The meet up with drac was fantastic.... I wondered if you guys know how it feels to meet up someone whom you have never seen in your life? Let alone only knowing the nickname of whomever you're seeing? Such as Dracula? Crazy isn't it? Well I was suprised that when I was walking and looking around for this so called "Dracula" person. It only takes a second before we knew we were Sinn Owners. Like as if I had the word "I'm a Sinn Owner" engraved on my forehead. I must say, the meet up was short, really too short! But thanks for all the efforts! really! Never met anyone whose as spontaneous and as sporty as you!

Drac, I owe you a drink man! Hey I'm on for this Sat's morning meet up, but you sure you can sneak out from your wife? kekeke You all name a place lah. For once I think since most of us are in the East, a good place to suggest might be Jalan Kayu Roti Parta.... Any takers?
