Sinn 900 Flieger
Discussion
Hi,
I'm looking into my first Sinn watch after reading good things about the brand. The 2 that stand out for me are the 900 Pilot & the 103 Ti Diapal. I think I may be swaying towards the 900 and any feedback on this model would be appreciated.
Also, is there any way of getting one of these with a discount? I've contacted the 2 distributors in the UK and neither will do any deals on Sinn.
Thanks

I think you'd be lucky to get discount and the ADs overseas won't send anything onto another dealers country.
As to the watches, they are fairly different in respect to size mostly, the 900 is a 44mm watch while the 103 is 41mm, the 900 wears large from what I've seen as there is no chamfer or angle to the bezel; it is a straight edge.
Both are interesting ones though, both powered by a 7750 which is a reliable movement although the 103 will have been tweaked to include the DIAPAL (DLC coated pallets - friction free-ish).
One is steel and the other titanium, so again a difference in weight that may play on preference for you. Both have the 'hydro' technology (Ar/dehumidifying capsule). Both have the 2nd timezone function.
The 103 is a case design that goes back to the 1960s, (from a Heuer Autavia originally), and has continued to be a classic, updated with the various tech incl. captive bezel whilst still keeping the classic line with its slightly domed crystal.
The 900 is more modern looking and features Sinn style de-emphasising of non-essential dial script - the subdued constant second scale for example. It's very well thought out and has a nice minute scale, precision, internal bezel.
So either will do the job, I'd say the 103 is perhaps the more classical, wear anywhere type, but the 900 has some evident features and has been tailored very well to its job.
I'm fairly sure someone on here has a 900.
