I own a 556i that was purchased on the black leather strap. It has found a home worn on an Erica's original nylon and has accompanied me on many treks in and around British Columbia. Wear your 556a in good health and may you enjoy this underrated tool watch as much as I have mine.
@@jessfraser8743 Hi Jess, I was literally there today, picking up my newest Sinn , a Flieger Klassic Chronograph from Mary and Jason. My favourite watch store ever!
This is great thanks. The wrist shot has finally made my mind up as I have the same size wrist as you. Lovely watch. I may go with the red secondhand though both are great.
Sinn is one of my favourite brands, despite owning a Rolex Submariner 124060, my Sinn 856 S UTC is still my most worn watch after 6 years of ownership and will stay in my collection. My AD recently offered me a new Rolex Explorer 1 in 36mm... l declined as I will be planning to add the 556A soon. You are right about how much nicer the 556 looks in person. When l tried it on, l absolutely love the dimensions, looks in its simplicity and how it wears. It is also a strap monster so will be a perfect addition to my collection.
I will alwas prefer the A model, not the I. If you wanna have a genuine aviation watch you need to buy that one. There are flight instruments from Sinn exactly designed like the A modell and i love it. I love watches and i love the aviation. Those two themes combined is frankly amazing. The size is perfect, mostly aviation watches are ways to big like >44mm. Have the watch on a green wild boar lether strap and looking forward to get the metal bracelet. Good video, keep on!
Unfortunately I never got the chance to see them in person as I don't think their are any boutiques near me. If you can see them in person I highly recommend it.
I've been wearing mine every single day for the past 3 years. Never take it off, beaten the hell out of it and it's still -2 to 3 seconds per day.
Sinn is my new weakness! Beautiful watch!

A very nice looking watch! Great unboxing, good to see more budget friendly watches getting some lime light.

I've owned one for about a year. At 38.5mm it has perfect proportions. It's a beauty and I won't be parting with it.

Good point about pilot watch aesthetics and explorer styling
Nice Rolex explorer alternative. Agree the clasp needs work, but it’s a strap monster and worthy of adding to anybody’s collection.
I have the exact same Sinn shares rotation with my Blackbay58, Omega 2254.50 SMP, and Speedy. All keepers for me
Sinn should update their clasps
What's wrong with the clasp? I like it.
556 is perfect useful watch!!
I'm thinking about Mother of Pearl version. Did you have an occasion to see it in person?
Unfortunately I never got the chance to see them in person as I don't think their are any boutiques near me. If you can see them in person I highly recommend it.
Love this watch with it's matt dial and minimalistic design, hoping to own one someday.
All the other reviews I see about this watch show it with a gold tone rotor. This has silver as does mine. Why the difference?
Sinn now uses a rhodium plated rotor instead of the old gold one on their more recent models.
I was wondering the same thing
just ordered my sinn I rs, two weeks wait....
