Horological Meandering

The Sinn U1 has been very popular, notably in Singapore with retailer The Hour Glass commissioning several exclusive limited editions, of which several forum members own (I own the U1 Tempus, shown below). The latest diver's watch from Sinn is the 47 mm U...

I have two SINN watches, a 244 and UX. Both accurate, well built and in today's world a bargain. Good photos and article.

I love it, as I love the former version. It is a simple, strong and without pretention watch. Nicely done! Best, Nicolas

U-Bill ah nice sound to it. How many should there be in this edition?

I actually have the white face U1 on order not sure when it arrives. I will have to take a few snaps of the U1 family. HAGWE

are there any wrist shots or pics next to a U1 for comparison..?? Is Bill the Sinn ambassador...LOL...as I'm sure this will soon grace his wrist..!! Yours, Andy. PS - will that leather strap fit a U1..?? It looks like a beauty.. This message has been edit...

...but from a slightly different angle. I don't mind this U1 (if only their press agent was actually aware that the submarine profile on the dial is a 212, instead of just "a submarine"...but I digress). I agree on the LE and pushing of the 'collector' st... 

The press release I posted reads: "Exclusively for Sinn, the steel supplier of Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft and Nordseewerke Emden GmbH shipyards are supplying the watchmaker with smaller amounts of exactly the same steel of which the world’s most modern ... 

I really like Sinn products. I have a thing for the U2 in particular. I did see that they mentioned the 212 (not sure what's scarier being in a fuel cell sub or a nuclear powered sub!) in relation to the case material, but the rest of the press release ju... 

It's just too bad that at 47mm, the watch is just too big for my relatively slim wrists though
