I really like the Sinn 104, it appeals to me on almost every level, but I'm not a fan of the polished case, or the polished aspects of the bracelet,
I have found a bead blasted version, unfortunately the only one for sale I can find is on Chrono24 from a dealer in Australia which ends up coming in at nearly £2000 when VAT and after postage is added.
Does anyone know if this limited edition ever made it to the UK? I'm wondering what my chances of finding one second hand might be.

Although on closer reading, it appears that the model designation 104.010 FB is a limited edition that may only be available from the Australian dealer > https://www.definewatches.com.au/shop/sinn/104-st-...

For such a unique piece, and matching matte finish bracelet, the total price doesn't seem that bad.

Well if you do buy from Oz, at least you'll have the satisfaction of probably owning the only one of it's type in the UK cool

Thats a good point, I'm just waiting to hear back from the seller regarding strap choice and then I think I'm going to go for it.

You could just buy a standard model and then have it bead blasted its pretty straight forward to do
Ps the fine link bracelet also looks good
