Oh crap. I know this watch is too big for me, but my resolve is weakening :doh: ...
Have you tried a U1? Honestly it doesn't wear very large, especially on a strap like an Isofrane.

Agreed. Barely any difference on the wrist over a Sub-C.

This one is a grey Drew canvas. 22mm lugs tapering to 20mm at the buckle. Historically, it's been my favorite strap on Sinn divers.

You can reach him on IG @d22straps or PM him here at d22.

That looks great, Matt. I actually have the same strap.

Honestly, only the 16660/16600 wears more comfortable to me. This watch has great balance.

I may need to just do this soon. I'm gonna delve into the details tomorrow to understand better the difference between these and the normal u1. I really like the look of this one. Bracelet would be mandatory for me

I'd be curious to know the overall plan too; if they are doing 10 per month or if the goal is to deliver them all by a certain time period.

Also curious. Do you know if they being delivered in the order the deposits were taken or by serial number? i.e 1-10 and then 10-20, etc.

WatchBuys is doing their best to deliver them in the order they were paid for. Obviously, they are only able to deliver what Sinn sends them.
There shouldn't be any delays in delivering the rest, but Sinn has to fit them in to their production schedule along with all the other new watches.

Just reserved mine (#76). I was on the fence due to the lack of date but seeing the live pics put me over the edge - thanks Wu and Shorty. I've always had a special draw to the U1 (I think I've owned 5 or 6, plus a few U2) and the DWC connection is pretty special. Looking forward to this one.

Sinn is releasing them in batches of 10. If you reserve now you'd have a while to pay for it.

As in maybe 10 per month? That would give a guy six months or so to prepare. :)

I don't have a timeframe. The good news is all cases and dials are done and ready to be assembled.

The more I view this thread the more it's making me figure out how many watches I'd have to sell to buy this, and stay married. I especially love the look on the fitted rubber strap.

You can always marry again.
