A DC57 appeared in the PH classifieds for a good price last night. It would have been rude not to

Nicely done. Love the look of those.

I have a Sinn 856 UTC which either has the same case or one very, very similar. I do love the aesthetics of this type of watch.

Here's my pics the just arrived Sinn Spacelab D1 140/2







Thanks to the previous owner for sending this previously quite beaten up watch to Sinn where they
1) refurbished and re-blasted the case;
2) completely overhauled the movement (new mainspring, various wheels, all the moving Delrin parts replaced etc);
3) fitted a new sapphire crystal;
4) replaced all crowns, pushers and gaskets;
5) replaced the hands as the lume was flaking;
6) replaced the internal bezel as the print was coming off;
7) fitted a new 142 dial as the lume was flaking (and also put a new 24-hour subdial hand on); and
8) supplied a new steel bracelet.

Nice to have a Lemania 5100 back in the collection - It's certainly my favourite chrono movement.

Very nice.

I think I'm just going to rename this thread "Incoming: What has Andy Tims bought now?"

Recently acquired - Tudor Oysterdate 'Big Block' Chronograph 79180

Lovely. Infinitely preferable to a Daytona IMHO.

Just housekeeping gents, but this thread is way beyond the maximum size that we like to run with here, so I'm closing it and I've started a continuation thread here.
