I really like these watches and this may be my next watch purchase

What are your thoughts on this brand and is the DIAPAl technology really that good.

they also seem to hold their value quite well.

your thought?

Nice watches. Had a 556 - nicely built, solid, but a bit small for my tastes.

I'd certainly have another, but there always seems to be something else higher on the list.

Had a few Sinns over the years.....they're fantastic watches, innovative, tough and reliable....

my other choice would be a 2nd hand Fortis B-42 cosmonaut, but i am a bit worried about the reliability. Or back to Omega seamaster Chrono ( i really regret selling that watch)

I'm wearing my 556 today. Very happy with it, though early on I had to get a bit of dust removed from the dial as it was driving me nuts. As a brand I can't think of anything negative to say, and they tend to get plenty of praise in these parts.

I've got three, no problems, their engineering is solid, their 'technological' aspects are real-world and they all offer great quality/price I think. Good honest watches, eye-ergonomics are great, solid reliable movements. Very little not to like.

I am wearing my 356 today - love it!

Used to have a 757, now have a UX GSG9. Would quite happily try out the 356 above

I've got a 956, and it's one of my favourite watches, the quality and style of the dial is just spot on.

That's double nice. Is that a Fulda edition?

[sneijder]

Whilst we're on the subject, what's the deal with the 'Roberto' special editions that always pop up on Chrono24 ?

They seem cheaper than new models ?

Yup - although it is for sale.

One of the best all round brands at the moment - I've had approaching 15 & still have these







Diapal is certainly very clever tech. Not quite sure if the extended service intervals would offset the cost in strickly objective terms though.

That looks like a Tutima. Do you think Sinn and Tutima use the same case manufacturer? I wonder if Sinn uses the same movement (Lemania?) as Tutima too, at least before Tutima went in-house.

I don't think Tutima used that case (which was used by a few manufacturers - notably Lemania themselves):



The Tutima case is unique to them:


(Note there is no internal bezel as per the Sinn 142)

Both Sinn and Tutima used the Lemania 5100 in their watches, as Andy's above, but the movement has been discontinued for a number of years now. Sinn ape the dial-side with their (and Damaskos) SZ-01 movement found on their re-edition of the 142.

I have an EZM2B. Stonking build quality, great engineering and utterly reliable. Always seem to get great press on this forum.

...oh...and two of my three -
