Everyone is always complaining about the clasp. I have a 556A and also a 16710. I like the Sinn clasp better for, less flimsy. The quick extension works better and it’s just a solid piece of equipment that works. The bracelet itself is brilliant on this side of a Nautilus 5711. The 356SA will be my next watch, on a strap. Save a few hundred bucks that way and can swap the 556A bracelet. Sinn has become the ultimate tool watch company, where Rolex used to be. Affordable and available.
They haven't become it, they were always have been a proper/genuine tool watch company. I own a four Sinn and four rolex SS sports models. Sinn appeal to me far more than my Rolex and Omega's etc but I'm hanging on to all brands ATM. This watch works better in the 358 original size for my aging eyes at least.
I got a old one from 2001 for the 40th anniversary grey dial , but haven’t used it in years shame is I missed it and dug it out to realize that the acrylic crystal seems either horribly scratched or somehow cracked 😣 but really I d love it for it’s more compact dimensions as I never wear anything more than 38mm . But luv this none less
The copper guilloche dial version is my choice, on a brown croc strap. Unfortunately this only comes in the 38.5mm version. 42mm (358 version) are available as Grey and black dials only..........for now, shame. Great pick to review Rob. Keep them coming.
I disagree with not having a diving extension on the bracelet. With my hands being very chunky, it is the only way of getting a good fit on the wrist and still be able to take it off.
If people stopped calling it diving extension manufacturers might actually give us the option on non diving watches. These are tool watch companies remember
Really good size, that 37 -40mm seems to be my sweet spot. I find that as I get older I notice that I don’t enjoy chronos. Harder for my eyes to focus with “so much” going on. What about the acrylic dial? Wonder why they didn’t use sapphire.
One of my favs in the Sinn lineup. But I really don't understand why the sapphire version has a €500 premium over this one. Not all sapphire crystals are created equal I guess but still…
I believe the sapphire version also has a display case back which increases cost, and some sapphire models also have a 5 link bracelet instead of the h link so its not just the 1 crystal that increases the price.
This somewhat reminds me of my Big Eye, but smaller and the Sinn is on bracelet. Have a Sinn U1 on order and hopefully will get it next month. Just watch Teddy's review on the a different model Sinn and he said the same about the lumbe and bracelet.
Sellita/valjoux movements are weird with the hr hand at the 6. You have to push the reset pusher in really hard to get it to go all the way back to 12.
Yeah its just a quirky thing with the movement if the chrono has been running for a while it sometimes takes a double push or 1 really hard one to get everything back to normal. I love chronographs and have quite a few but when im wearing them i almost never use it to time stuff. i don't notice it much but that is one annoying thing about the 7750/ sellita movement. They work and last forever though my 356 is quite accurate to about +5 consistently chrono running or not.
It's very nice, beautiful design, and I know acrylic is traditional, but for me, with my climbing and trekking activities,I would need a sapphire crystal. This particular one you have is out of stock anyway since your video, 7 months ago. Maybe you sold them all with your fantastic review !!
Did anyone of you guys take it for a swim? :P Thanks for the review. im checking lots of footage atm to get a feel for that height. The Sapphire is half a mm slimmer but i'd still go acrylic i bet
Hi really enjoyed your review on this amazing watch. it's beautiful. I do actually own one and I am wondering where you've got your metal bracelet? Would you be able to let me know? Thanks!
Cool video! I was initially going to purchase this exact watch, however, a few weeks before I pulled the trigger, Sinn announced their U50 series... So yeah, I did a ton of research and snagged a U50-T about one minute after it became available for pre-order lol. But that being said, Sinn also just re-released a *_revamped_* version of this watch...and I kinda still want this piece... But I probably won't be able to get it for 3-4 years =/. So those who get it, please enjoy it!
@@davidhall4968 He mentioned the revamped version in the video and I had just missed that part when I posted that first comment. But also, he just didn't call it the revamped version like me (an idiot lol). What I had meant was the sapphire glass and display back model. So if anything, maybe that -revamped- *sapphire* version is a tiny, tiny bit thinner overall due to the sapphire glass not being as curved as the acrylic dome on those versions of the watch.
This is really a nice watch. Kind of wish I had the cash to get one. I am not sure of the movement but I have seen a number of Sinn watches in person and was very impressed with the quality of watches usually 1000 to 2000 dollar range. usually in the middle.
Is it a bead blasted bracelet also? It looks like it here. Yet some online images the bracelet looks like satin finish when with the satin finished SA version
While chronographs are my favourite complication, and I like Sinn watches in general, this is not it. The dial is simply too cluttered for my liking, even in the 42mm configuration. I totally dig the retro vibe of that crystal though. I agree that the copper guilloché dial would be my choice.
I own this in the 358 version, I have large wrists so it fits me. I do agree with you, I've owned this watch for years and love it, but it's not quite right. Sub dials in off white would work better for me. However it works better for my eyes than an original Speedie I own.
I have been on a waiting list for a lifetime for a Skydweller. Finally gave up bought the 356 and with the money I saved can buy another car!
I like this one a lot. The dimensions are just perfect. Also the 100m wr is just awesome for a chronograph watch.
I was just obsessing on this watch all day and then you upload a video! Love the channel, thanks for the content.
have you got yours? I enjoy mine so much!

Absolutely beautiful. This is the flight chrono I want.
A sleeper. One of their best
Awesome watch. I absolutely love my 556a.
I've been starting to look into chronos recently.
Cheers for the review

As soon as I saw 38mm 👀
Lots of backseat company CEO's posting on here. If you have better design thoughts why not start your very own watch company up like Helmut did.
Love your one month challenge, I'm going to try it
I disagree with not having a diving extension on the bracelet. With my hands being very chunky, it is the only way of getting a good fit on the wrist and still be able to take it off.
Ah, never thought of that issue.
If people stopped calling it diving extension manufacturers might actually give us the option on non diving watches. These are tool watch companies remember
Gustapo Gomez You took the thought right out of my little brain!
I have the same issue.
Sinn makes an adjustable on the fly clasp now, it's just always sold out lol.

For the vintage vibe. You can choose either when ordering

@@moosabman Absolutely.
@@moosabman You can order the watch to be built with any glass configuration you want. Still, 500 euros is a lot of money for the crystal.
Two years late with this but in case anyone else wonders, the sapphire version has a display back and also is brushed rather than bead-blasted
It uses the Sellita SW500 - not sure which version or if there is a upgraded finishing version for the sapphire sandwich.
This somewhat reminds me of my Big Eye, but smaller and the Sinn is on bracelet. Have a Sinn U1 on order and hopefully will get it next month. Just watch Teddy's review on the a different model Sinn and he said the same about the lumbe and bracelet.
I just decided not to get this but get the 556a. I already have the BigEye. Had I not have that I would’ve gone with the 356.
Did the 12 hour chrono dial at 6 not snap back with the seconds?
Sellita/valjoux movements are weird with the hr hand at the 6. You have to push the reset pusher in really hard to get it to go all the way back to 12.
Noticed that too. I’ve not noticed that on my Omega but will check now!

NICE: would it fit properly a 15 cm/5.9 inches wrist?thanks
Nice IWC alternative.
This is my current grail, my only problem they are 2200 new but 1500 pre owned... it makes it so hard to swallow
Simply buy used?
bigc208 yeah they don’t come up often and when they do it’s right after I bought one.

Responding to my own comment... But I'm selling a bunch of crappola in order to buy the revamped version of this watch! I cannot wait!
What changes where made?

The current ones are running on Sellita SW500, prettymuch a Valjoux
358 is 42mm and a Utc version and see through case back. Killer watches from sinn.
I have 2 sinn watches I'd be willing to possibly send in to the channel. I don't believe I've seen either of them on the channel before.
Into the channel? Between England and France? Are you unhappy with the Sinns?
DM me on the Diacord.
SW500, I'd love to see that domed crystal on the 556.
I have that sapphire double sandwich crystal, but it's the salmon dial, where can i send you a picture?
Is it a bead blasted bracelet also? It looks like it here. Yet some online images the bracelet looks like satin finish when with the satin finished SA version
I mean there's both
@@AMogus-jr6qk thanks yeah I discovered they sell a few variations of the H link
Great looking watch ! I do think they could have left the "flieger" off of the dial.
Sinn = sense
Big fan of that watch but not the bracelet. Looks really good on a strap.
I hate the clasps on my 556a and 556i. Put them both on leather because of it
I hate my mother in law. Put her on leather too.
I heard there’s a Sinn ad in Canada. Does anyone know the name? Or anywhere else in Canada that carries Sinn
Old comment I know, but J Vair
5 o'clock ?! that's early :)
Are there any chronographs that have the running seconds as the large second hand and the chrono second hand as the small?
Some quartz watches
Yeah Sinn EZM 13 springs to mind ;-)
I liked sinn 787
You would think with the engineering prowess at Sinn they could improve that clasp.
@ If a bunch of micro brands have figured it out Sinn could do it too. I'm okay with my Sinn 104 clasp but it is a weak point in the watch as a whole.
Hey @randomrob I’d be interested in purchasing that sinn if Nicholas is interested in selling
I’m selling my Sinn 103 st sa if you’re still interested
@@davidgioe511 sorry, I ended up getting a 103 st matte special edition from watchbuys
Is it Sinn or Zinn?
Sinn, but it's German so it's pronounced "Zin".
Looks like the non-Sinn that Bobby Legs just got! I don’t know who copied who.
Flieger with divers extension 😀
I think it's more like a pilot's extension, for if you want to wear the watch on top of your flight jacket.
SW500
*EX-PECIALLY*
Especially
It's the SW500, 🙄

Does it have rotor wobble?
Yes
@@RandomRobReviews heck
@@RandomRobReviews wobble means 7750. I like the wobble. 👍
A what?
@@lowersaxon the famous 7750 movt wobble. Not a defect. Its a trait
