I have a tan canvas as well. I'll give that a try in a few days.

Thanks, Rahul. Apparently they are selling very quickly.
I'm not surprised. It's getting universal love on multiple forums, for good reason.

BTW, I know Steven, Gerry, and Barry, at the very least, have owned LE 103 A Sa pieces. How many of those are still around here?
I know Gerry's wife wears his nearly every day, much to his dismay. Does Steven still have his?
You mean this one? :fro:

Yea. It's not going anywhere. Not sure it's 17mm, can't recall, but close for sure. Never been an issue. Still love everything about it. Rock solid. I suspect you will LOVE that blue LE. Only on page 4 of this thread when replying, so maybe you already have it! :excited:

Thanks. That white variant is fantastic. I remember telling Barry he was crazy to sell his. I was right.

It came with a 5 ring Zulu, which was a poor choice by Sinn. It makes the watch sit very high on the wrist and is very bulky. It's also very short for a 5 ring. It's back in the Sinn box never to be seen again. A standard NATO would work better, but I don't have any in 20mm.

That's right, I'd forgot it was a zulu. I just remember it looking good color wise, too bad it wasn't a nato.

There are some photos on WUS. It's definitely a good color, but it sucks otherwise.

All this Sinn 103 talk is making me want to get one.

I'm fine with the regular black dial... but that white one looks really really good!

Its awesome and the thickness is okay. Saw one at the Watchbuys roadshow today. Also saw an unreleased watch with a dial that looks like Damascus steel found on knives and such.

Could the Damascus be Chris' LE?

This is awesome, I'm extremely jealous.

I'd also like to see a pic of it in the nato.

I was planning on waiting for Chris' LE this coming December, but alas, I folded.

Couldn't pass the deal, soooooo.....incoming :doh:

Gonna be unloading lots of watches soon to help alleviate the new purchase :banghead:

the watch looks very cool, but at 17mm thick, it's just way too thick for my tastes. it doesn't really matter what strap or nato you want to pair it with.

but the dial is so nice...

It really doesn't feel that thick on the wrist, but I guess measurements don't lie. :shrug:

It really doesn't feel any thicker than my standard 103 acrylic.

Thanks! Rob from Topper. He asked me if I was attending the lunch GTG with DWC and Grand Seiko in CA, just prior to the purchase. Told him I am in FL, :lol: . Rob said he'll say hello to Matt and the gang for me. :cheers:
