I recently bought a U50 and love it . I initially wanted a Tudor Ranger but after looking into the Sinn brand decided on the U50 which more suits my lifestyle and need for a rugged durable watch and the water resistance was higher which was also a bonus as I spend time in salt water
@@willygood7 I can't remember off hand, the watch is about 3 years old now, so the price I paid will be out of date. I did get a discount of about £200 though. To answer your question accurately I'd have to dig out the receipt, which is in the loft. I'll go back through my emails.
Great video. I have four Sinn watches, ranging from 15+ years old to just a couple of months old, and all four have been fantastic. Really enjoyed the behind the scenes look here. 👍
Sinn are great. Hanhart as well. My Hanhart 417ES Flyback is a bit less than +2spd. I really like the Sinn 103 St Chronograph. German Watches are what I prefer. Adjusted in the positive is always better than the negative in my opinion. It also makes it easier to set correct time; pull out the crown, wait for time to catch up to you, press the crown in.
Really Good informative video with actual facts from the manufacturer. So much speculation on how they do things at the factory on forums but this clears a lot of that up.
From my understanding there is no such thing as a basic Sinn, you are very fortunate to have one on the wrist. I highly suggest going to thier website and ordering a free catalog it's very impressive basically it is a hard case book. Very nice.
@@BoleDaPole Yea maybe word 'basic' was unfortunate, but what I meant its one of their cheapest model, with Sellita SW200, three hander and date (no advanced complications), without Tegiment, oil inside etc. Still a great watch but 'basic' when compared to some of their other products.
One of German watchmakers worth buying. Sinn watch hold up pretty well on the secondary market. Which proves that brand has a quality product with great following.
Sinn is an amazing company that make the best tool watches. My number one brand. I own the 103 St Diapal, 240, EZM3 and the U2. They are all incredible timepieces.
Sinn is now what Rolex used to be forty years ago. Maker of durable watches for professionals. I had a Sub for diving, GMT for flying and a Daytona for rally racing. I used to rotate. Ever since I got the 556a and 356 they’ve been my work watches in the cockpit. Still have my Rolex watches but hardly wear them. Sinn for the win for professionals. Easier on the wallet too and no worries about getting robbed or damaging a very expensive watch doing extreme activities.
@@datboytalkinrungotellem I bought mine separately since it wasn’t available for the 356 specifically and watch buys has rewards so i used them towards the clasp. It’s fully milled and is the same length as the original clasp so i got a perfect fit. It’s only a little thicker because of the mechanism. OEM parts are always going to bring a premium but the quality and overall price of the watch is worth it imo. Also, Steel Reef has an adjustable link for $140 which would serve a similar purpose but I wanted the Sinn clasp.
@@datboytalkinrungotellem you have to look at the watch and the total cost. With the clasp, it’s still a lot less than any other day-date, automatic chronograph on the market and Sinns have probably the best resale so if I need to sell it or fall out of love I can get my money back no problem.
Hi, I’m looking into buying the same watch. I love the look of the acrylic but I’m worried about scratches. I know it’s easier to remove scratches from acrylic but I don’t want to be having to do that too often. Would love to know how yours is holding up?
Sinn is a great brand with really credible watch credentials. They're not blingy, they're not show ponies; they are the definition of what a tool watch should be. I don't have one but I want one. I wouldn't have my case repolished, I'd want it to show signs of wear, that's par for the course I feel.
Own a tegemented black U2, with GMT function. The workmanship on this watch the quality and the cost make it in my opinion the ultimate tool/travel timepiece, I am proud to own it and have nothing but respect for this company, I want to visit them - German engineering at its best! I am gradually offloading my Swiss collection and will buy this brand and GO!!
I have had my Sinn UX GSG9 Hydro for about 2 years. I have Grand Seiko, Breitling and Omega watches. This Sinn UX is the one watch I will never part ways with. My daily wearer. Not looking forward to sending it in for a battery replacement, but I knew about that when I purchased it. Looking forward to my next Sinn purchase.
Enjoyable video; thanks for making it. I have a Sinn 556A and I think it's a great watch. Sinn seems to be a quality company that makes great watches. I would love to tour their factory...👍
3M Fluorinert is the oil used in the UX . It’s fascinating to see the second hand bounce back as it struggles through it … well , perhaps not fascinating but quite interesting;)
Thank for the cool video 👍 Sinn is my favorite brand. Absolutely love my T1, T1B, EZM9, 857S & 836. Looking to pickup a UXS & 717 once the kids are out of college 😉
What a pleasant surprise to click on this video to find the familiar face of Mario from the ol’SpeedyFeetUK channel! Good to see you mate and in my other favourite subject of watches! Definitely a different world from working with EUC’s! Keep up the great work mate! 👍🏽👍🏽
Wow amazing what Sinn is doing very smart guys and level of engineering is mind blowing there I will buy one to support the channel God bless everyone 😇
I got scratches on my sinn 104 on the glass. Its definitely building character over a year of constant wear. Edit: Its only noticable when your really looking for it. I saw a video where you can actual remove the AR outer coating but i love how it is though so idc.
Damasko’s ice hardening way better than tegiment. Sinn’s tegiment gives an eggshell effect whereas damasko’s hardening is all the way through. In fact, damasko use to harden sinn cases.
If you are a real watch collector, you are not bothered about residual value. Therefore you are spending a lot. the true watch collector is often somebody who has the same value in spending as someone who has two Rolex watches.
This is an just an ad, you'd never objectively answer the question the title. I love my 104, but with the new clasp, it costs 1800€ and the H-Link bracelet has like half a millimeter Olay between the horns. Doesn't sound like a lot, but it is A LOT, and results in rattling.
Was moments from buying the 556 I (no date) with the Selita SW200-1 movement, before realising (thanks to the online manual) that Sinn install the date movement and gift the owner with a ghost position on crown. Selita manufacture a no-date version of the SW200. Once I realised this was a corner they were cutting I couldn’t see past it. For all the theatre of showcasing components, measuring tools and white coats - at the end of the day they’ve made a business decision on a €1300 + VAT watch that I simply can’t get behind.
(Reads the premise of the whole video again) … yeah, fact-based perspective which is directly on-point not doing it for those in the cheap seats? Standard. Go on - got an informed opinion on Sinn to offer up?
"Sinn doesnt make watches, they make time instruments." Oh, absolutely! Because calling them 'time instruments' totally changes everything. Next, they’ll be making *wrist-mounted temporal measurement devices*!
My Sinn UX Ezm is a nightmare: it has a huge bubble inside, that Sinn is unable to solve, after 3 intents... I cannot even snorkel with it! Sinn does not want to repair it anymore or replace it. Will not be a strong brand with this kind of behavior. The deutsch and seriousness quality has gone far away
@@billymania11 I watched it again and its still not great IMO. Nobody is 'being late' so that's a nonsense for a start. He said its rarely +6 (the average of +1- +11) but I would say that happens a fair bit (its the average!). The average of COSC is +2. COSC at its worse is Sinn's average. Just seems better to have as short a range and an average nearer to zero IMO. The Hydro used to accept air bubbles as a 'feature' but I think they have sorted that now and it would be a warranty issue. I really like Sinn (have a U212) but the COSC thing seems weird to me.
@@billymania11 I am not sure what COSC movements they are using, but Tudor guarantee their COSC certified movements to -2 - +4 I believe (I cannot be bothered to check as it is unimportant to me). Would reducing the range not be better than just shifting it?
His first statement almost turned me away. Silly statement. Not watches. Only "time instruments". And then continued to say their "watch/watches". Yeah right.
I had the 104 on my wish list for a long time then I started reading stories about servicing costs etc every 2 years I’m not spending big money (for me) to shell out more cash every 2 years so will look elsewhere

I thought the Hydro model was just simply oil filled models. I didn't know so many R&D went into developing it. Impressive
U50 / UX are dope. The optical effect on the UX is always a joy to experience.
I love the personal touch in an impersonal world
Yes more Sinn behind the scenes!!😁 love this company!

Terrific content. Thanks.
This is a very informative and interesting spot on Sinn. I’ve liked them for a while, but now I like them even more.
It's yes from me. Just ordered the EZM 3f
Stunning and practical

Ive had my U1 with tegiment for over 7 years now. It has gone trough hell and back but Still could be sold as new 😅❤.
Cool vidéo
Great video, thanks. Now I feel that I need a Sinn!
I have a 556I and a 104 St Sa I ⌚️ ❤
I'd be interested in their Ar coating on the glass. I believe they coat both outer and inner, but how scratch resistant is the outer coating

Edit: Its only noticable when your really looking for it. I saw a video where you can actual remove the AR outer coating but i love how it is though so idc.
How about a tapered bracelet maybe 20 to 16 or something
Great presentation on Sinn manufacturing process. However if you could add the pieces of the new release would add an apple in the show!!!
I move sinn, i have 3 sinns, 556A, 556I, 104 i, all in black
I love Sinn watches.
i have a ezm 13.1, it's great
When are they coming out with such simple technology as on-the-fly clasps?
They are slowly rolling out clasp/bands
@@DBR6464 I'm holding on buying a 556 for when it has the adjustable clasp.
@@gori277 on the fly should be available in the near future

Yes! Every day of the year. Not best when dressing up. Bomb proof. T)
Do they also sell watches at the HQ you visited?
I have a U50.
I think worth it . Muhle and Guinand also .

Would need a name change to have a bigger market
So now we know what Zod ended up doing after Superman defeated him in 1980.
😂😂😂
Give me all the geekery!!!! Go back to Frankfurt and take me with you, pretty please!
Sinn is awsome
Tagimenting sounds just like case hardening.
Thanks Captain!
