differnce in length of Sinn leather straps
Just sent my Sinn 103 with 7760 hand wind movement to RGM for service there price is about what I paid for the CWC RAF issued chronograph so the going rate. But now I am thinking of getting a new leather strap for it's return. I like the brown leather with brown stitching. What's the deference in length standard short and long the standard cheaper by 10 bucks. Hate to buy one that's to short or to long if a standard would work cheaper so what size wrist works with these three sizes sounds like a newbe question. The sweep hand not lining up at reset bugged me so much I just had to get it fixed so a service and pressure test sounded good so off it went the other day. Link below for the standard one.

Well they had a chat thing on watchbuys like what we use to have on this forum years ago if any old timers remember got my answer since I got a 7 inch wrist standard will work good since it's cheaper.

Re: differnce in length of Sinn leather straps
What is the actual length of both straps? This information is nowhere online.
Re: differnce in length of Sinn leather straps
When I did watchbuys on line chat they ask my wrist size I said about 7 inches they said standard but nothing on the differences in length of the three sizes. They should have a size chart for the three sizes so some with bigger or shorter size wrist know the right size so it's a no brainer.

Re: differnce in length of Sinn leather straps
Somehow watchbuys manages to be unhelpful even when asked a simple direct question. I tried to get them to tell me the specs for the spring bars on my EZM1 and it was like pulling teeth. After five back and fourth emails I swore those tards off for good. One email to Sinn resulted in a terse response listing the exact specs.
In case anyone else in the world wants to ask WB the size of an EZM1's spring bars, I'll save them the trouble:
"The spring bars should have a length of 20 mm and a diameter of 1,5 mm."

Do Watchbuys ever read these threads? Sometimes they're like dealing with the DMV.
only accurate watches are interesting

I think they hate their lives. There is no other explanation.

Re: differnce in length of Sinn leather straps
Well I ordered that strap. Right after I ordered it Watchbuys calls me on the phone to ask what type of watch the strap was going on. I told them a vintage Sinn 103 they asked what type of finish was on the case I said it had the none brush finish I guess so they have the correct buckle on it a brush finish buckle would not look right. So some times there service not bad.

They never did order the missing screw for me (despite saying they would). I'll never contact them again. Those guys are worse then Kobold.

Did they accuse you of breaking the spring bar from bad strap changes or just encourage you to send the watch to RGM for repair?JP Chestnut wrote:Somehow watchbuys manages to be unhelpful even when asked a simple direct question.

I hate to pile on, but they earned it.
I even forgot, but it happened to me too! I also called and requested two bracelet screws for a U1. After a month I emailed Sinn. Had the bracelet screws within a week.

Neither. They tried to confuse me by speaking in tongues - and it worked.streetracer101 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 01, 2017 11:09 amDid they accuse you of breaking the spring bar from bad strap changes or just encourage you to send the watch to RGM for repair?JP Chestnut wrote:Somehow watchbuys manages to be unhelpful even when asked a simple direct question.
