Thanks for the pix!

Thanks Jia Xian and great article in BT last week.

Congratulations Harry! The watch looks very attractive in Jia Xian's photos, and I'm sure it will look even better in the metal. I hope to be able to see it on your wrist real soon!

Cheers,
Vernon 

and congrats to Harry for the beautiful watch. I look forward to admiring it!

Cheers,

but couldn't bear to cut the rubber strap so I'm wearing it with an old aftermarket rubber strap with a SS buckle. Looks quite ok actually - colour combo kinda reminds me of the black-cased GG Arena Biretros (which mostly come with black rubber straps w/ SS buckles too).

Wear your new piece in good health!

I'd also love to see a side by side comparison with the regular plain steel model..??!!  I assume Harry Tan has both :o)
Is the black matt...difficult to tell by the pics.
I like it anyway..!!

Handsome watch.

Not sure about the hands on the U1. How do they look illuminated? Any night shots?

Can we add "Tegimented" to the list of precious watch terms (a la the Silicium thread), as far as I understand it's just a super-hard coating. Can anyone enlighten the forum as to how the coating is deposited (and also, if it is a coating, why Sinn instists on using the Vickers Hardness scale?)

And to close off my curmudgeonly post, I always have a giggle at 1000m+ watches.
Particularly ones that are destined to be desk divers. Yes, the engineering to achieve the rating is interesting, but the higher the rating the more it highlights the ludicrousness of the situation. It's not like having a 1000bhp car, you can use that (! rarely !), this is a feature that seems to exist only for "bragging rights". Any thoughts?

put it this way,
you would have stopped ticking was before the watch if you attempted a decent to 1000m without specialized appratus. LOL!
i recon the ladies at the pool might like it tho...... ;-P

No kidding! Go more than about 150ft and you have to start thinking about it...

Not that any divers use plain old watches anyway...I think it would be stretching to say that half the dive watches made even see salt water.

 

. . . the watch that comes with a Glock!   The perfect accessory for the style-conscious shooter . . . cordially, Art
