Sinn new models
Discussion
It would appear that Sinn had something up their sleeve that was at Basel as a prototype but not yet on the website, and due to 'movement congestion' probably won't make these available until next year due to the large number of pre-orders on the EZM10; the new Sinn 140 range.

On page 34/35 of the 2012/13 .pdf catalogue, here - http://www.sinn.de/en/Download/SINN_catalogue_2012... which also has a nice two page spread on the whole EZM series.
In addition, some other new models on their website here - http://www.sinn.de/en/New_Products.htm , the 103 Classic with markers instead of numbers caught my eye.

The original 140 was powered by the Lemania 1340/1 and had no 24hr hand, no day and shoulder-less pushers. The 1341 was a centre minute chrono but a more refined and expensive affair than the cheaper 5100 which superseded it in the 142, (with a 140B/141/142 Lemania 5012 mix in there just to confuse).
So it really does stick very closely to the original 140 in a number of ways, indicated by the absence of the 24hr hand, shoulderless pushers and no day.
Not bad for a seventies watch - here is an original:
There are some interesting pictures of the EZM10 here Slagathore, http://forums.watchuseek.com/f24/feel-like-kickin-... , but they are saying it will be later in the year and a lot are pre-ordered already. Eu4,000 sounds about right.
The 140A may be expensive, as it's a 200 model LE, the normal 140 should be cheaper, as it has no DIAPAL or 24hr function, but you're right Pesty, prices are higher and higher chez Sinn, as most places...

Cheers, hadn't seen those pictures before.I do like that a lot.
The prices seem a lot, but I guess if they've got the orders in, it must be the going rate. I guess Sinn have a pretty big following around the world, judging by the variety of posters you get in the Sinn section on WUS.
I just hope they don't keep bumping the prices up too much! I still need to get a 757 S, then I'll be content with my Sinn collection and can start thinking about trying some different watchmakers.
http://www.pointoftime.de/shop_361_Neue-Modelle-20... has the price list for the new models, although some (140) aren't available until 2013...
Even taking into account the euro/£ rate changes, I do think Sinn are leaving a market segment they had more and more to themselves...

Yup, when I first saw the 757S, I'm sure it was around £1500 mark?
Just checked on Chronomaster and its £1750 on rubber. Jura have it as £2,040 on rubber and £2,265 on bracelet.
The tegimented bracelets are £315 on their own from Chronomaster.
At £1500 it was a no brainer, but at £2k+, it's open to some serious competition.
I still think they're up there for the money, but I'm a self confessed fanboy. I just hope the increase in prices don't put off potential new customers.

That's pretty much how I feel S, Schmidt used to be with IWC, so I don't know how much of this is 'market positioning', and they seem not to be able to make them fast enough, and they do offer a lot more than the competition in many respects. I wouldn't like to see them get too far away though - there's soe serious moey being thrown at new watches recently it seems.
Still, a lot of the older models are still very competitive s/h, I may be lucky and get a 156 next, fingers crossed - 'vintage' is more and more appealing...

Well its putting me off.
Me too. I've fancied a 556 for a while, but I can't bring myself to buy one at the current list (£678 @ Jura and £645 @ Chronomaster; on a strap) when I tried to buy one from Neil when it was £425 but they weren't in stock.
Maybe I should just do it in 0% through Jura so it feels less painful...
That 140a really is rather nice.

yep my 556 was around £400 from memory. which meant you could buy pre owned for between £300-350.
what are they selling for now pre owned?
There is a 2012, nearly new one on TZ now for £600. I purchased one for a mate off TZ late last year for £350 which was in decent condition. what are they selling for now pre owned?
