Sinn 757 - Only the 2nd watch I've bought two of

[andy tims]

Picked this up the other day, which makes the 757 only the 2nd watch I've owned, sold, regretted selling & eventually replaced.

Sellers pic for now.


I've had an 857, U1 & U2 since selling my first 757, but none combined the 757 / 857 style dial, with the U series type chunkiness & I've waited ages to get one at sensible money pre-owned.

Very happy to have scored another of these

Great choice Andy . . . for the second time. I went for a 757UTC so slightly different. Bought several months ago, but I get my hands on it on Saturday would you believe when it gets here from America . . .

Can't wait. . . .

Andy, you're incorrigable, but very understandably - it's a great standard.

Smart purchase, i'd be pleased with it too.

[Pesty]

Why are you going around buying every watch on my list.

Its a conspiracy.

Loverly those are.

[andy_s]

Begs the question - what was the first watch you let go & bought one back later?

where could i get a watch like this for a good price?

857s seem to come up more regularly than cheap 856s though. The latter seems to be like the proverbial rocking horse poo.

One of these.


However the second one came straight from Damasko almost out of the blue, from an order I'd placed about a year before never really expecting to get filled.

I only recently got rid of my 857 & yes 757's are surprisingly rare.

A few of my own pics

great pictures, i had a chance to try a friends 757 on once, it is one hell of a watch.

Had been thinking of a U2 recently, but this has made me reconsider again.

I have a 556 which is my first sinn, that is stunning, but there is room for one more.

One for all the lume freaks

Lovely watch + quality pictures, as always!

So finally got my hands on my 757UTC on Saturday and it's not left my wrist since . . . I absolutely understand why you'd buy this watch twice, I'd buy it again without thinking about it . . . it's an absolute beast. I've really fallen for this one, it's definitely a keeper . ..

As someone has said before (poetic license as I'm sure it referred to a U1), it's got an attitude of "after the holocaust there'll be me and the cockroaches left".

It's a really big lump to wear, but wears really comfortably. I'm currently wearing it on the Bunde strap it came with, but it also has a second Sinn Fleiger strap with deployant that I'll try soon as well. Not convinced on the Bunde strap and will inevitably purchase a bracelet for it as well, although I think I'll like the Flieger strap.

Here's a crap late night, cheap camera, quick wrist shot, I'll take some better ones in the next few days . .

Lovely watch.

Andy - will this now be a keeper?

Keeper - not sure I recognise that term but in all probability yes it will.
