My personal definition of a daily is just a nice watch which I can wear daily and is versatile enough for most occasions

Whereas for beater, means I will wear it in rough environments or when doing some rough chores. And I won’t be afraid to put some dings/scratches on it. I am not particularly fond of using a DLC watch as beater because the coating may be compromised after heavy wear. Then it won’t look very nice.

That's a good one! Have you had it a long time?

What do you think of the Sinn?

I ❤️ Sinn

Reflected in many of my posts. In terms of functionality and quality for me it was between omega and Sinn… so I don’t own any because it essentially became a redundancy but it doesn’t mean that I don’t love the brand because I really do… Wish I could own ...  

I know, right?

Yep!

You can physically beat this watch and it’ll always come out unscathed.

My U50S has been thrown onto concrete floors by my kids. I’ve taken the sharpest kitchen knife to the black PVD on tegiment, and all that came of it was residue coming off of the knife. Go for it! ...  

They come in handy!

I like the idea of a tegimented bracelet!

It’s an interesting combination.

The case, the style of watch and then the dial. And then pairing it with either the red or white silicon straps make for a fun look. From everything I’ve seen online it looks pretty cool. I guess many of us have gone the predictable routes with watches fo... 

A super scratch proof beater with a MOP dial!

Yes, a beater off the beaten path, looking further into it! Appreciate your thoughts as always!

On the road to a good beater?

A rock solid watch which can withstand the situations of daily life. Sinn U50. I see and hear many watch influencers pricing Sinn into heaven. It must be the Rolex under the affordable watches if i must belief the watch influencers. They paid? But no kidd... 

succes

Very pretty. Tough watch with a beautiful dial.

When was this released?

In April, I believe.

A very nice watch for daily wear and swimming, if you ask me.

 
 By: Sfwatchlover : June 28th, 2021-04:16
I was looking into this but it is not available in the US yet, due to paperwork needed in importing certain animal products including MOP.

Yes, that's what I heard!

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : June 28th, 2021-18:54

Thanks! Will you take plunge on this one?

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : July 13th, 2021-03:00

Yes, I have placed an order already :). I have read a lot of great reviews on U1 and U50. When I saw this MOP dial with 500 limited pieces, I know that this is the one to get and it will be my first Sinn.

About 2 weeks ago someone posted a picture of this watch in a FB watch group that looked very nice. I copied it here for you. After seeing this picture, I made up my mind ...  

Thank you, that's very helpful!

Looks sturdy and rugged---a real tool watch

Thanks to him for sharing! Hmm, not bad! ...  

I think it’s definitely a nice enough daily watch especially with that MOP dial which gives it a touch of elegance

 
 By: singingbee : July 14th, 2021-13:52
However I personally won’t use it as a beater. The real life pics you shared looks good too!

What keeps it from being a beater for you? Is a daily different from a beater?

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : July 15th, 2021-00:34
I'm concerned the DLC black would scratch off even as the tegimented submarine steel would be untouched. Not sure if that's a valid concern!

Right, that makes sense.

I think my GShock will remain my beater.
