Sinn Watches--Lot's Sold Out
Sinn Watches--Lot's Sold Out
Just went over to look at Sinn watches at Watchbuys and most or just about all Sinn's on bracelet are sold out plus no U1/U2's...
Is something going on w/Sinn? Slow summer....

Re: Sinn Watches--Lot's Sold Out
I checked with them last week, Mike. "Rob" at Watchbuys emailed me and said Sinn themselves were backordered, I presume until mid-July (he said WB wouldn't get any for 4 weeks). Somehow, WB still came up with a handful of them. Rob actually called me (i signed up for their auto update on new stock) and asked me if I wanted the last one - told him I couldn't at the moment. Pretty cool so for those guys. They sold out of whatever small batch they got in a matter of one day. At that price, I can see why. Honestly, I sorta wished i had just got the damn thing and hid it at my office for a few weeks!

Re: Sinn Watches--Lot's Sold Out
I've wondered for some time now if they aren't playing with the market. This kind of stuff has been going on for months, no?

Yeah, you know what I mean, Trevor My wife did that to me not long ago. "What is that? Did you buy a watch without telling me first??!!" "No, it's a couple of straps. Nobody ships a watch in a padded envelope!" "Oh, well, okay then." She can be quite demanding and when I get the chance to "do good" I definitely make it known.
So, yeah, hiding them at the office from now on.

Re: Sinn Watches--Lot's Sold Out
Few months ago, when I was waiting for my replacement U1, Sinn themselves were short of U series, and had a short wait time. Watchbuys on the other hand has been without U1 for a while, just some here some there, but officially on their page "sold out". I guess it's easy to lower a price on items you do not sell
There are only two kinds of people in the world, the ones that own Sinn U1, U1W, U2, UX, U212 and U-Unlimited, and ones that don’t.

Re: Sinn Watches--Lot's Sold Out
I've heard from several people that they were able to order from the recent lot that WBs received. The lower prices appear to be a good step toward bringing prices in line with European ADs. Basically, if you run the numbers and add in Tax/Tariff on imports the prices are pretty much a wash now with the lower prices.

Re: Sinn Watches--Lot's Sold Out
I am thinking simple math.
SLOW ECONOMY (LOWER DEMAND) + DESIRE TO REDUCE OVERHEARD (NEED TO BALANCE SUPPLY WITH DEMAND) = Maintaining less stock
Notice this equation does not account for market competition during reduced demand. You can do this kind of math when you are the ONLY authorized dealer for the entire CONUS, and other ADs are punked if they sell in your territory.
That and playing the ponies will put a squeeze on how much fresh new German hardware ($$$) you can let sit in a safety deposit box while waiting for internet orders.
