Sinn UX

[RemaL]

right after looking at the MTM extreme and falling for the UX. the Wife's given me the go ahead to look into getting one in the next few months. the reviews look great and being used as a daily watch that can withstand almost anything it ticks all my boxes

only issue I have is that I like to try before I buy and usually go to a shop watch to try on . but there is only 2 places I have found/people have pointed me towards in the UK who are dealers for Sinn in the UK and 1 is online


just thinking what to do next

and I wish there was a warning about this board
2 1/2 years ago I had a Casio watch.
now got:
Omega planet ocean
Tissot Touch
Tag carrera

Have you contacted neil from Chronomaster yet?

I was in the same position a while back. Neil was happy for me to send the watch back if it wasn't for me. Fortunately, it was spot on. As I'm sure you'll find.

I'd have had to have paid for the postage back, but it's not that much.

I'd say get it from Neil, but that's just because I'd rather support the smaller business.

Shall do that I think

cheers

presumably one of the ADs is Jura? They offer 30 day money back if you don't like it so you can try on at home don't they?

yea mate and Slagathore was on the mark with the other

Good choice !

Do you have 30k lying around doing nothing ?, I just found your ultimate watch from the Bonhams sale on another thread.

I wish. got to save for this watch

Quick quesion for anyone with a Sinn. being there is the 2 main UK dealers I've found, are these the only places to send for a service or battery etc.. stil trying to find a bit more info about the backup you might get buying a Sinn. ALso cost's invloved if I needed a new batt etc..

Don't have one, but the watch would have to go for Germany for that I would have thought so maybe deal / speak to them direct.

If it were my money, Chronomaster were until recently the only AD and I've heard nothing but good things on watch forums.

Loads of info here if you haven't already sniffed it out : http://forums.watchuseek.com/forumdisplay.php?f=24...

Don't forget the pictures when it lands !

thanks for the reply

When it needs a battery it'll have to go to the factory, Neil could send it (there'd probably be a small surcharge to cover postage & insurance, time etc) or you could deal with Sinn direct - I've heard that they are easy to deal with but perhaps not as quick to update you as some. Either way I don't think it'll break the bank but I'd expect the same delays as for an automatic being serviced - 6-10 weeks at a guesstimate.

i'm going to email Neil at Chronomaster as there is no UX on his website so going to ask if he has any, if not time etc...

shall report back when I know more

to addd a few more questions

SS strap or Silicone? Most of my watches are SS

also theres more choice

SINN UX
SINN SDR
SINN GSG9

reading about the GSG is thats it's used by the elite German law enforcement units. over kill for me

but anything major difference between the range?

Never had a UX but have Sinn(ed) in the past and think you made a wise decision. Can't wait to see photos and hear some initial thoughts.

well the wife's said I cam have it as a christmas present so looks like I'll have to wait to report back

[RemaL]

I'll try and take a pics or 3 if I get the chance

[RemaL]

tryed it on , well had a qucik look before it was wrapped up.


I'm very happy with it but having to look forward to sorting out the rubber starp on christmas day now

[RemaL]

I know I know I will have to take a few pic's of my other watches and post them before I get my Sinn

[RemaL]

Ahh well was fun while it lasted.

Need to send this back as after 4 months of wearing daily and loving this watch it stopped after 3 days on my holiday. Was swimming in the pool and just stopped

not hit it, bezel was screwed in just stopped

How deep were you swimming !

Hope you get it back shaprish.

no more than 8 foot deep

and me

[RemaL]

Have no idea yet, sorting it out tomorrow. I just want it back. It's a great watch but don't fancy waiting ages for it and as it was a pressy from the wife she wants me to get a replacment as she can't see why I should be without a watch for weeks when its still new. which I agree on

[RemaL]

balls seems a 2 month wait at least

Is that for Neil to order a new one, or to fix the broken one?

for Nail to fix the broken one.
