Sinn T1 and T2 now available in blue

Post by CGSshorty » Wed Jul 15, 2015 7:23 am

I'm not a huge fan of these watches, mostly due to the hands. This is a nice blue dial, though.

Still don't like, but the blue is an improvement.

I don't like the blue more than I don't like the black.

black is better IMO, that said i just can't get into the watch, the hands are odd to me and the case shape...

You're not wrong. Many people would have preferred a titanium 42mm U1 update.

Black date wheels under a blue dial is a pet peeve. I don't understand why a premium watch maker can't get color matched date wheels made...

Skip the ti and add the u212 hands and it would be perfect.

Sinn I get, they're not really a premium brand. Omega, however, is a wtf.

Yes. A titanium U1 would be ideal. I'll take one please.

Sinn wasn't a premium brand when Helmut ran it but it sure is now under Schmidt. Still tool watches but they're not cheap anymore.

Yup, that's a pet peeve of mine also, and is the first thing I noticed on this one. But even if the date wheel was blue, I'd still prefer the black version.

Sinn has been just off the mark lately. The T1 and T2 would have been great with just a few design tweaks (e.g., hand shape). Just like the U200 would have been great if it were just a tad bigger. People have been crying for a U1/UX type automatic watch in 40mm, and Sinn just can't seem to deliver.

The U2 C is the only thing recently from Sinn that has me salivating. But then it's a highly limited edition and a tad too big for me at 44mm.

So we've got:
- stump leg hands (T1, T2)
- dog dick hands (Marathon)
- tampon hands (Bathyscaphe)
