Was thinking of treating myself to one of these early next year. Just wondered if anyone had one on here and what the general consensus is? I absolutely love the design and the blue face is very striking. Other than reading descriptions and a couple of small reviews, I don't know much about the watch. Anyone know where I could possibly view one before I bought?

Not quite got the huge bank balance like some people on here wink and have to make do with a Seiko monster for best, so this would be a substantial purchase for me.

Cheers,

Sinn are very good. I have a 556 and am thinking about a UX.

I have an 856 UTC and would highly recommend Sinn and Neil at Chronomasters. It is one of my favourite watches and they are as tough as nails. Prior to this purchase I had never bought a watch unseen - but I put my faith in the PH knowledge and advice and am very happy I took the risk of buying a watch I couldn't try on first!

That 203 Arktis is a great looking watch - get it! You won't be disappointed!

Cheers for the replies. Looking at a few Sinn watches on Chronomaster site. Still think the Arktis is my favourite though.

I have been coverting one of these for a long time now. Have spoken to a fellow member of TZ-UK who has one and he raves about it and stated that if the watch ever gets close to it's operational limits then he is going to be in trouble.

It is a very striking watch and does look good with both a suit or jeans and t-shirt combo. If you are only going to have one watch, then this is the one I would go for.

As said already, Sinn is hard as nails and a great investment.

Let us know if you do take the plunge and post some pictures
