First Sinn........656 S
Discussion
Today I picked up my first Sinn, a 656 S.
Went to pick the watch up from Neil at Chronomaster and enjoyed a good chat a nice cup of tea.
First impressions:
Amazed at the build quality. Feels like a very solid unit on the wrist and has already been noticed despite its simplicity and subtitle looks (IMHO). One concern I had with the watch before picking it up was the size of the date window however this was instantly put to rest, the date window is perfect for me, not intrusive on the face design and big enough for quick reference.
Wrist Shot - I have child's wrists despite my age so please be kind on the mickey taking.
I am not the best at taking photos. If anyone wants an image of a certain part of the watch let me know, I will do my best and post it up.
While picking up my watch I had chance to see a 756 UTC DIAPAL, fantastic, what a great looking watch. The contrast of metals on the face look brilliant. I was a little taken aback at the depth of the 756 but will certainly be considering a DIAPAL unit for my next Sinn.

Very nice choice! Could I ask you to take a photo of the watch with something else in the shot so I can get some idea of the size? I've toying with going for the silver version myself.
Yes, no trouble. I will take a picture next to an iPhone or something when I get home. Thanks for all the comments. Really happy with it so far.

I've been told by the Wife to hold off buying anything until after my birthday in a couple of week though.
Nice choice, looks great! I bought my first Sinn too recently 856 UTC on bracelet - very pleased with it. Interested to read your comments re 765 Diapal, I was looking to get one of these initially but noticed that they're circa 15mm thick... opted for a more slimline version in the end but still think the 765 is a great looker.
Nice watch tho, great choice!

interesting to read your points about the depth of the 756. I was looking at a UTC version of that watch but was also put off by the depth of it. As you can see from manly wrists it would look stupid, great great looking watches though. Nice watch tho, great choice!
Just got back home so will do the picture tomorrow. Thanks

Nice watch.I was looking at the DIAPAL 756 also. I think many of these 7750 watches are very thick. Look at Navitimers they have the same odd looking depth of case.
The 756s seem to look less odd on the wrist than they do in side on shots.
