That's as old as the hills Bry - but a great thread I have to agree. There's a nice (quite worn though so may need some PVD love ) 856S UTC up at a good price on MWR at the mo., Peter is good to deal with too. I'm still trying to figure out whether I like their new EZM10 yet or not...

Ooooh,I think they are 356's,no?




Scuse the reflections.....

IMO Sinn have some nice chronos and non chronos always liked the EZM1 and EZM2, 103, 142 etc.

IMO the worn bracelet should come up a treat and with the tegimenting not need to much prep work.

I decided this week a 103 Sa is the watch I need in my life.

They're a bit of a bargain compared to other makers with sketchy history doing things with the same movement.

I understand the factory has a shop, any one been? I read mutterings of some 'demos' from staff behind the counter too.

So many of these Swiss brands use the Valjoux and arguably better movements like Zenith El Primero HELL some have been known to use Seiko movements and even Miyota.

Such a good variety in the 103 range, sane price too.

Did you take a look at the Guinands - they are very good value now as well - http://guinand-watch.com/index.php?option=com_cont... for example, though perhaps in satin - nice display back and lovely highly finished 7750 underneath. Common enough movement, but for good reason.


Here's another nice black Sinn Bry - http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tree&go... more nicely worn though in this case I think.

(ETA - Just seen the bigger pics and the bracelet may need a bit of remedial work too)

Good grief, that's all I needed !

I think I'm swayed by the 103 still, with screw in pushers.

From what I can see the Guinands are mail order only, and here's the rub, I live in Norway.

I could go to Sinn in Germany, and get the 19% VAT back if I do it in person. If it's posted to me, the customs will pick it up, add 25 % and around 50 quid as a handling fee, and then the courier will add a fee too.
