I hope Serge won't mind this post being slightly off-topic. Personally, I really prefer three-handers to chronographs, though I the love the look of the vintage Speedys.
So...here's my Speedy "three-hander"...my much-loved Sinn 104i (photo by yours truly...) I get a lot of interest in this piece at Red Bar meet ups...many guys think it's an Omega until I show them its a Sinn.

Thank you, Serge.
Yes, they do have attractive styling, but what is more impressive is their level of quality: in design, execution, manufacturing, assembly, regulation, durability, etc. And Sinn has some impressive technologies e.g. their tegimented steels (1200 Vickers hardness!), submarine steels, tegimented submarine steeels, diapal lubrication-free movements, inert gas atmospheres and CuS04 dehumidifying technology, etc. that literally no other manufacturer has or offers. All my Sinns run more accurately, more consistently, more reliably, regardless of how often I wear them, than any of my Swiss watches.

Oh, and ruggedness, too... What can I say? They're German. I have a phrase I coined for Sinn that would resonate very strongly for anyone that has first-hand knowledge of the brand: Sinn: No frills, no frou-frou, no f**kin' around.

In the meantime, zip over to WatchBuys. They are the exclusive seller for Sinn and Hanhart in North America. And they sell only direct to customers to keep prices down and very reasonable. In many respects, Sinn is the like the Schiit of the watch industry.

Hello Serge,
Good choice with the Dark Side Of The Moon. Owning already some black watches, I went with the Grey SOM, and I love it! |

Hi Jean-Marc, I did not get it, only tried it on and loved it. Congrats on the Grey, also gorgeous.
