Ive had this watch for about 5 years now...... it will never leave my collection. I no longer even look at "sports" watches due to this watch crushing everything else imo. It dresses up on the fine link bracelet, steps down to casual on a shell cordovan #8 strap and even goes full work horse on a nato. One of the best pieces you can buy. I do have a couple of nitpicks (crown seems too long and it wears thicker than it really is). Everything else is top notch. Sinn killed it with this watch. I am a profession delivery guy so I use the bezel quite often- and that bezel action is fantastic! I wear it playing golf as well, I use the bezel to keep my over/under par score.
Slow bonding may be due to the price tag but also because it's such an austere design (even though it's darn beautiful, if you ask me). That sturdy reliability will certainly make you bond with it more and more over the years, I'm sure. Happy birthday, btw!
Great video. I own the 104 with anthracite grey dial and love the way it plays with the light. Great bang for the buck for the specs and craftsmanship you get from Sinn.
You're the guy I've been looking for. I'm getting a 104 I St Sa on H-link. The only question, and it is one I am very split on, is: classic black or that beautiful anthracite? 🤷🏼 I have plenty of black dialed watches currently, and think the sunburst grey would look outstanding, esp outside in natural light. But, IDK, the black looks really proper, too! Like, I could see the grey looking slightly odd IRL (?) or looking completely amazing. Black is a known quantity +which to an extent is why I have several already). I'm into the subtle contrast between dial & bezel/date of the grey. Normally, I'd get both and "plan on selling" the I one I liked less it mod it (if these were AliX clomages, Orient's, Seikos...no prob). But with a $1K+ proper legit piece, I can't afford that ludicrous process. 💸💸💸 I'm leaning toward grey, can't F this up. Thoughts from an owner?
You described the bezel clicking perfectly. 👌 I love my Sinn 104, micro scratches and all! I’ve since ditched the factory leather strap and rotate through a bunch of nylon, silicone, and even cork straps! The Sinn 104 is such a versatile watch!
Great watch, I’m saving for another one of these. Yes another one, I left it in a brothel after my shower in Sydney Australia. When I called the brothel the receptionist said she checked the bathroom and it wasn’t there. The lady of the night stole it unfortunately :( lesson learnt I only wear casio watches to the brothel now.
Beeen watching sinn videos for a few months, i finally pulled the trigger on 556i today. Sinn It really grows on me. Just so many people admiring this brand. Was really confused between this and the 556i. But I just need a versatile tool watch amd this case was almost all polished so suspectible scratches while the 556i is satin finish. Nevertheless, really come to love sinn watches.
Happy birthday Daniel! Great present to self indeed. Btw we emailed you about reviewing our new watches. Gentle reminder in case it's dumped into your junk folder.
Happy Birthday old man 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 Just kidding, I wish I was 40 again... Congratulations on your beautiful Sinn 104, absolutely gorgeous, may you wear it and enjoy it for many years to come. Have a wonderful birthday mate. Wishing you and your family all the best always. Cheers 👏 👍
Happy birthday to you Dan,hope you had a great day. Well what can one say what a great birthday treat,that’ll never leave your watch collection. You will enjoy it to a ripe old age. Keep up the good work with your videos/reviews,but just be mindful of what’s happening with a couple of watch channel’s at the moment.
Happy belated, fellow August baby! I also just bought myself a Sinn for my birthday, albeit a little late because of supply constraints. I had to bargain with myself, and said, if it's in stock within the month, I'm goin for it!
Happy birthday and congratulations on the purchase, that's a nice watch to treat yourself with! I also wanted a special watch for my 30th (which was in January), but I ended up not buying anything - still saving up. Being broke sucks, and the war has made it even worse.
I agree you have to bond with your watch, it also takes longer when you have a rotation, and price point ( especially when it’s more than you normally pay) Happy birthday and it looks grate 🙌🎁🎉
Very nice watch Dan and happy birthday to you. The watch reminds me a bit of another tool watch, the Cardinal Sicura Submarine watch from 1968 that was worn by actor William Gaunt in the TV series “The Champions”.
Within the last few weeks Dan I ALMOST bought the exact same Sinn model! I have a few flieger watches, some quite new & a few vintage; circa 1940’s. But competing for my attention also was the Hanhart ES 417! I’m a huge Steve McQueen fan. All of a sudden Hanhart do a reissue of a 39mm 1954 model, which Steve owned back in the day. Hence it arrived 2 days ago! My reaction? Instant 😍🤤👍🏼😎🤣 Anyway mate I think you’ve done well.👏🏼 I hope you had a great 40th!🍻🇦🇺
Great video sir. I bought the same Sinn, I feel exactly the same as you described. Funny, the watch is so good and well made yet has a bit of “meh” to it. I do still have mine (my most expensive watch) and will probably keep it, it’s hard to beat for daily wear. I still find myself meandering around the back streets and looking at less expensive watches. In fact, I just purchased 2 San Martins to test drive…why?! Anyway, I am a huge Seiko diver fan boy since my first in 1983, it still runs beautifully! I have even wondered into the Vostok Amphibian world, fun and solid watches, “good cheapness”. The only way I can describe the Sinn 104 is….it’s so good it’s boring? Weird. Oh yeah, now eyeing a Squale 1545 classic….can’t beat that design in 40mm! Also, I will buying some of your straps 👍🏼. Cheers!
To be honest I've never been a fan of Sinn, but when you put on that tan strap, I suddenly thought, I get it now 👍. All bezels should be count down. Hope you had a great birthday 🎂
I posted a similar comment on another video in the RUclips world, but I felt it was worth breaking out again here. I bought this watch mainly due to all the RUclips love and spending too much time every day debating what Sinn to get. The U-Sinn watches match my taste more but the price didn't match my desire to own one. I got a 104 on a beautiful grey suede strap and the dial has a grey starburst look. The watch is absolutely striking in the box and holding it in the sunlight. Gorgeous watch. My only dislike is how easy the bezel moves. It just misses something on my wrist. Out of my now 112 watches (without doing a real count) I have about 50 I would wear before putting it on. Plus I don't want it to get dinged because as soon as I opened it I had this sense I would flip it one day. I have my eye on a new Omega Aqua Terra or a Breitling Avenger. I tried both on recently and those have given me an itch. My Sinn is a good candidate to move due to the ease it will sell, the money it will bring in and the fact I never wear it. I hate the idea of not seeing it in the collection but it's too expensive to just be box candy. Congrats on the birthday watch! It is a beauty. I wish it matched my wrist the way it looks off it. I hope you enjoy for many years!
I have owned this exact black dial watch for about three years now. It is my “I’m at work and I’m serious” watch. The countdown bezel is awesome. What I like about this watch is that it is really its own thing. I have about 12 watches in my collection and this one stays.
Lovely, a good choice! Would get one for sure if only they did one without the date complication ( looks so much better with the black date wheel tho)- nonetheless, a real beaut. Congratulations, & Hippy Burpday Mate 🎊🎂🎉🎈
Slow bonding? I'm 1👀% insta-bonded precisely *because* of the 'function dictates form' design. I'm a big Bauhaus design guy, though, so big surprise this one speaks to my soul. Really -like- love those bold, deliberate angled lugs and the screwed on, protruding countdown bezel. (Chef's kiss) Edit: Happy 40th birthday. I've been considering getting myself a Sinn 104 on H-link (black or anthracite 🤷🏼) for the same reason, this video is just nudge I "needed." TY for posting 👍
Had mine for about 3 years now. Just done a review of my watches and decided to sell my Hamilton and a vintage Omega. The Sinn is safe for at least a few more years as my go to tool watch.
Happy birthday Dan! Be well, enjoy whatever you love mate. As for this Sinn, totally understood you celebrate your 40th year on (this!) planet with a sin like this... 😜 Enjoy! PS Bi-directional bezels are way better in my opinion, don't have to go nuts if you miss the mark you're after.
thx, nice. got the same design scheme of the 104 a couple of weeks,ago to reward me for some very tough time of my life. I like the watch very much. One thing: if you are not wearing it daily - winding up and setting day/ date is not that slick "sexy" as it should be. Got my first scratch also - dont dare to wear it in the garden! When you just want to do one little thing - than it happens: you scratch the Buddha while cutting off some gras around it... Also do like the dark brown antique leather bracelett with the stitches. Nice. The original brown leather vintage thing was also sexy, but very hard to wear - due to sharp edges on the arm side... 😅 15 years ago I got an EZM3 tool diver watch. Its much more technical/ industrial - tool like. It got a lot scratches meanwhile. But I will also keep it, it reminds me of my home area around Frankfurt/ Ger and experiences I faced in those old days 🎉😅
So, how has the bonding gone so far? I own this watch and for a very brief moment during my ownership I contemplated selling it (because I had found the perfect GADA watch without a rotating bezel, thinking I didn't need it anyway). But that thought flew by quite quickly and now I am convinced that it will never leave me. I wear this watch pretty much everytime I go to the gym, for a swim, on a hike, paintball match, anything that could inflict some beating on this watch and you know what: it handles it perfectly. It's perfection. I will keep wearing it with great joy in the years to come!
Well, my bonding for some reason didn't last, so I sold it! My replacement? Omega seamaster! Had that nearly a year and still love it, that's how you know it's a keeper.
Thanks nice review. The aluminum bezel I wouldn't be worried much about I'd be much more worried about the AR coding on the top of the crystal. It may have not done anything less than 4 months but I can almost guarantee within years it's going to have scratches. I would never buy a watch if they are on the outside just my opinion
I absolutely love this watch but im scared the movement isnt good ..i hear it can grind when wound too much ! How much is too much ? Will it not last 🤔, the other watch im torn with is the longines hydroconquest ,it has 300 m water resistant A eta movement which is better ,what to do 😮
I recently purchased the matte finished anthracite dial 104 which was a limited edition. I may have expected too much, because I have not bonded with it and will be selling it shortly
I noticed you said 7.25 inch wrist and in one shot it looks like you have the leather strap on the tightest setting? My wrist is about 6.75 and if you are already on the smallest setting then it may be too big for me. Is it actually on the last hole for your wrist?
I hope you didn't pay full UK retail... I've been looking at a Sinn 556 (mother of pearl) and a Doxa sub 200 (aquamarine). Both are around £180-200 more expensive than the Euro or Dollar price!
I would not disrespect your birthday choice as each to their own, but I never bonded with this watch. The all polished surfaces cheapen the watch and the bezel would rock very slightly by pushing down on it despite none of the screws being loose. Got rid of it
I bought a sin 556 about a year and half ago and its the most I've spent on a watch. Unfortunately, I just dont really like it or ever choose to wear it out of my other watches that are similarly priced (but still cheaper). I will wear my fortis pilot classic over it any day of the week or if I want something different than that type of look then I find myself going for my ball fireman enterprise.. both of which I just find have way better fit and finishes... meaning the watch fits my wrists better even though I have smaller wrists and the literal materials and feel of both of those is superior to the sinn.. so unfortunately im just not sold on them when there are so many better options. Still not a bad watch, but meh.
Isn't that partly because yoy already own watches within the same category (pilot/field watches)? Perhaps if it was your only watch you might get more enjoyment out of it, knowing it can undergo any situation.
It is a beautiful toolish and very aesthetically pleasing watch. To be honest the polished case is the reason why I'd actually not consider it. Why so? You actually put the finger on it.
Ar on the outside is a big negative for me. It can look terrible after a while and make a decent sapphire look like a mineral. Shame because I love sinn.
Those bloody Krauts really know how to make what I call real watches. Superb engineering and finishing. Great choice. I personally prefer U1 and U2 without the glossy and scratch enticing finishes.
My friend "Watch me with watches", i am heyman and i sent you message,could you check and give me reply when available, Hope to make business together.

Sinn killed it with this watch.
I am a profession delivery guy so I use the bezel quite often- and that bezel action is fantastic!
I wear it playing golf as well, I use the bezel to keep my over/under par score.
nice, even if golf is not that friendly to the watches mechanic 😅
What a honest review. Thanks a lot. I recently bought a 104 and I’m 100% agree with you. Love your orange strap. Can I get one in Spain?
Happy Birthday! Can’t go wrong with the Sinn 104.
Beautiful watch and when you consider whay they offer it actually has a real value to it!
Happy Birthday Dan. Keep up with the watch videos!
Slow bonding may be due to the price tag but also because it's such an austere design (even though it's darn beautiful, if you ask me). That sturdy reliability will certainly make you bond with it more and more over the years, I'm sure. Happy birthday, btw!
Great video. I own the 104 with anthracite grey dial and love the way it plays with the light. Great bang for the buck for the specs and craftsmanship you get from Sinn.
The grey really looks special, you are right, such bang for buck with Sinn! Enjoy.

Happy 40th birthday, I also would have never guessed you were 40 I would have thought early 30s.
My sinn 104 ran at +8 seconds aday when it was new. Now it runs +-1 second aday! It takes 2 month for my watch to run a minute off. Amazing!
Happy birthday mate!
And a great choice there. To me Sinn is the Porsche of watches. No nonsense, German precision tool approach
Happy birthday and hope you like the Sinn as much as I like mine.
You described the bezel clicking perfectly. 👌
I love my Sinn 104, micro scratches and all! I’ve since ditched the factory leather strap and rotate through a bunch of nylon, silicone, and even cork straps! The Sinn 104 is such a versatile watch!

I bought this watch this week for my 50th birthday along with a Seiko SPB143. No regrets

Happy Birthday Dan! Sinn brand is one of my favorite in my collection. I have the 556 A… enjoy your day.
Happy birthday. I love Sinn and I think the U1 and the 556 with the chocolate dial are just amazing. Great watch and thanks for the vid.
Happy birthday mate 🎂
Happy birthday! Fantastic choice, may it serve you well through all your adventures!
Happy birthday Daniel! Great present to self indeed. Btw we emailed you about reviewing our new watches. Gentle reminder in case it's dumped into your junk folder.
Happy birthday always enjoy your reviews that particular sinn may be the best watch anywhere at that price point
Happy Birthday old man 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁
Just kidding, I wish I was 40 again...
Congratulations on your beautiful Sinn 104, absolutely gorgeous, may you wear it and enjoy it for many years to come.
Have a wonderful birthday mate. Wishing you and your family all the best always. Cheers 👏 👍
All the very best my friend and congratulations....fantastic choice....🏴⌚🏴⌚
Happy Birthday Dan, all the best mate. Nice watch Sinn.

Very beautiful watch! It was a good choice for sure.
Nice watch sinn has been on my mind happy birthday.
Happy birthday to you Dan,hope you had a great day. Well what can one say what a great birthday treat,that’ll never leave your watch collection. You will enjoy it to a ripe old age.

Happy Birthday Dan!!! Great self birthday gift.
Their other style I love is the U50/U1.
Happy Birthday Dan. 🎂🎉🍾
Big 40 eh? Wish I was 40 again!
The Sin is a nice watch, be even better with no day/date imho.
Happy birthday and congratulations on the purchase, that's a nice watch to treat yourself with!
I also wanted a special watch for my 30th (which was in January), but I ended up not buying anything - still saving up. Being broke sucks, and the war has made it even worse.
Happy birthday young fella.
Happy birthday 🎂🎉🥳. It’s mine tomorrow; bought myself a Citizen ecozilla🤟🏼.
Happy Birthday & congrats for this nice watch!
congrats dan have a great day , the sinn looks awesome
Happy Birthday .... Got yourself a classic there
I agree you have to bond with your watch, it also takes longer when you have a rotation, and price point ( especially when it’s more than you normally pay)
Happy birthday and it looks grate 🙌🎁🎉
Happy belated birthday mate. Wear it in good health
Happy birthday!!
Wonderful camera work! Thanks!
Very nice watch Dan and happy birthday to you. The watch reminds me a bit of another tool watch, the Cardinal Sicura Submarine watch from 1968 that was worn by actor William Gaunt in the TV series “The Champions”.
It’s a nice watch Dan. Thought you were nailed on to buy the Tudor Black Bay.

I have it and now I’ve had it a while - it’s the one I always come back to. Especially on a rubber strap
That’s my grail. Being a Lumimox fan, I prefer numerals to stick indices. Nice content !
Happy birthday 🎉🎆 I hope you have a wonderful day 🎂🎁
And a very very nice watch..
Very nice. The blue dial variant looks epic
Made the mistake of looking, you’re correct

Happy birthday Dan! That's an absolutely beautiful watch. The only thing that would make it look even better, is if the day was in German!
Great watch! Happy birthday! Hope this is your best year yet!

The original brown leather vintage thing was also sexy, but very hard to wear - due to sharp edges on the arm side... 😅
15 years ago I got an EZM3 tool diver watch. Its much more technical/ industrial - tool like. It got a lot scratches meanwhile.

I like how the domed crystal blends into the bezel very nice
I see an Audi Quattro there. You must be a very nice guy! Cheers from Portugal
Happy birthday!
Love the 104!!!
I miss mine, just need to raise the funds to buy again!
Hmm nice choice, happy birthday to you
Happy birthday.
Its a great watch, count down bezel is very useful and its a real strap monster.
Thanks nice review. The aluminum bezel I wouldn't be worried much about I'd be much more worried about the AR coding on the top of the crystal. It may have not done anything less than 4 months but I can almost guarantee within years it's going to have scratches. I would never buy a watch if they are on the outside just my opinion
I absolutely love this watch but im scared the movement isnt good ..i hear it can grind when wound too much ! How much is too much ? Will it not last 🤔, the other watch im torn with is the longines hydroconquest ,it has 300 m water resistant
A eta movement which is better ,what to do 😮
Happy birthday
very nice i love it... do like the white dial version a bit better... cheers
I recently purchased the matte finished anthracite dial 104 which was a limited edition. I may have expected too much, because I have not bonded with it and will be selling it shortly
Hey can you do a review on the ball engineer ii magneto s?
Thanks
If anyone wants to lend me one sure!
I have the blue dia versionl, I think it gives the watch more life.
I agree, needs a splash of colour!
I noticed you said 7.25 inch wrist and in one shot it looks like you have the leather strap on the tightest setting? My wrist is about 6.75 and if you are already on the smallest setting then it may be too big for me. Is it actually on the last hole for your wrist?
I hope you didn't pay full UK retail... I've been looking at a Sinn 556 (mother of pearl) and a Doxa sub 200 (aquamarine). Both are around £180-200 more expensive than the Euro or Dollar price!
i have heard it said that the sinn can rivel some of the big boy brands
Happy B
I would not disrespect your birthday choice as each to their own, but I never bonded with this watch. The all polished surfaces cheapen the watch and the bezel would rock very slightly by pushing down on it despite none of the screws being loose. Got rid of it
