Very nice. . .
I've finally taken the Sinn plunge after much consideration, deliberation and consternation at my own inability to decide . . .. Started wanting a U1, then wanted a watch with UTC function so moved onto a U2 . . . then decided I really wanted a weekend/holiday watch, tough, durable and with a chronograph function which I use when I'm watching racing (timing for when a rider comes round for a pic - also for timing eggs of course) . . . Had to have a date, a rotating bezel also useful . . .
So in the end after searching for ages and ages as they seem rarely to come up 2nd hand I came across this on that terrible search engine . . Elite Deal Seeker . .
Deployment with spare strap, so will have to choose which I prefer, but would also like to see what it would look like on a carbon/kevlar strap like you have on your IWC Andy. . . which when I'm feeling flush again I may treat my IWC too one as well . .
Only problem I have now is that to keep costs down and to avoid the dreaded import duty I had it sent to a mates office in the states as he was due there this week and would bring it back for me . . . unfortunately he's had to cancel and his watch fancying colleague has assessed it and proclaims it's first class, but that's great for him, useless for me as my new time piece is the other side of the Atlantic from my wrist
with no imminent date of delivery . . .

I'll let Andy decide if he wants to spill the beans. They crop up on ebay.de from time to time.
That was the only place I could find one that had recently been auctioned.Finished at €1050 as I recall.
NIce watch and as I said the geek in me loves the speed conversion chart.
