    The best of two worlds....Sinn 103 goes Comanche

    I used to be a big Kobold fan, owning 2 Seals and a MG at one point in time....Well. that changed. Nevertheless, I like the design of some KObold watches, especially the Seal and the Comanche. I loved the Comanche because it's dial is not as cluttered as the dial of the 103. So I just changed the hands with hands from the 757...all of them, and I thing I'm pretty close. Since Mike Kobold's is deeply rooted in Sinn watches, after all he learned his trade from them, and his first watches were Sinn clones, I don't feel bad of merging the "young" design with proven mechanics...saving a lot of money in the process too..

    That looks really good! Did you do it yourself? Well done!

    I have found a source for ETA-28XX compatible destro dials (9 o'clock crown, 3 o'clock window). If you're curious of the source feel free to send me a PM.

    One question for those that have had both the Comanche and the 103, does the 103 feel substantially taller?
