Sinn 556/656 too small
Discussion
Hi, I'm toying with buying myself a Sinn 556 or 656 watch early next year, I love the simple, elegant style. However, my wrists are fairly chunky at 7.8", will a 38.5mm case watch look too small? I'm currently wearing a 40mm Poljot aviator, which I think looks about right on my wrist. However I also have an old 36mm Oris which looks tiny now...
Not sure whereabouts in the world you are, but if you find yourself in Central London, then head down to Jura's in Burlington Garden and try one on.
I have had 2 Sinn 556's over time and if I am totally honest they were a little bit too small for me. I have a 7.5in approx wrist and I'm used to 40mm+ Omegas and the like. I am now sporting a 42mm Aqua Terra which I absolutley love and would not go less then 40mm now, but each person is different.
I have a friend who wears a Breitling Blackbird one day and then a Speedbird III the next day and it isn't an issue for him.

I'd say it would feel too small, but go try one out if you can.Love the design too, but I sold my 656 pretty quickly having gotten used to larger watches & my wrists are smaller than yours.
Thanks for the advice! I have a suspicion that it will be too small, I'll need to pay a visit to Jura next time I'm down in that London, I guess. I know that Chronomaster will allow me to try the watch, but I wouldn't want to do that unles I was 90% sure that I would keep it, and I'm about 50% sure at the moment.

If you're planning to go to the PistonHeads show in January I'll be there. I'll have the Sinn on I'm sure - you're welcome to try it on.Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
