I love Sinn, they are superb value for money but aren't just another cheaper IWC, they have their own style and innovations and are quite happy to follow their own path. My 356 II with the guilloché copper face is a beautiful looking watch, but completely unexpected - it's the 356 Flieger which you'd expect in black and white like all the other pilot's watches, but they've bunged on a crazy face and top quality brown leather strap with deployant buckle... all for around £700. Marvellous...
I just love that. Think it's a 38mm which may look a little small?

here's my U1 that arrived last week, anyone want to help me get the image working correctly feel free to tell me - for some reason I can't figure out how to post the correct link

the build quality is absolutely fantastic. I can't fault it one bit and I think like my O&W it's a steal at the price. It's on a Drednought strap from Eddie at tz-uk but I've got some other straps coming in this weekend so will update then

I'm amazed by all the folk saying the speedy isn't as durable as a Sinn.

The speedy pro has been around virtually unchanged since the late 1950s NASA put it through some very rigorous tests before using it in space.Tests which the speedy beat Rolex Submariners, Breitlings and many other watches.

It is a absolute design classic.

Will all these Sinns still that look good in 50 years time? Don't get me wrong I think Sinn make good watches but I doubt any will become the classic iconic watch that the Speedmaster pro has.

I'd get an Omega Speedmaster Pro before any Sinn. Any day.
