Anyone think it looks good on the black bracelet?

When did yalls order?

I ordered the first morning around 8am pacific. Thought for sure I'd be on the second wave of shipments :/
I ordered late, on 4/26. I did ask them before picking a number if they had any insight into what was shipping the soonest. They only knew of 2 numbers that would be in this batch so I selected one. They're just done randomly but somehow they got info on a couple.

Ah makes sense now. Thanks for the info.

That's how I was gonna order it. Reminds me of the JLC NSA articulated rubber setup.

I think you would regret getting the black bracelet. Hold out for the regular. They will get more in soon.

Yeah, I'm going to hold out. I'll just use an isofrane in the mean time.

Have to agree with the others. That does not look good.

My U1Pro shipped on the strap, and I now have the chance to get a bracelet added at the factory. Really like the strap. Not sure the bracelet is how I'd wear this one (but the bracelets look so damn good).
What's the vote, worth the price of admission to have both strap and bracelet? :shrug:

I have both and am glad I went that route. Plus the ZULU as well.

I wear mine on canvas or ISO most of the time, but I really like having the bracelet option. It's such a great fit for the watch.

It does make it a heavy watch though.

Last time I inquired of Sinn, they wouldn't sell me a bezel as a part and would only replace at time of service. I believe it was about $325 USD a couple years ago.

I communicated with Matt last year 12-21-2016. I was looking to purchase an SDR bezel and it costs $400 plus shipping.
It's a beautiful world! Gerald.

Want to trade? I imagine a naked bezel is only slightly cheaper than the sdr bezel.

I talked to Matt last week about a new U1 bezel and he quoted me $350.

Okay, thanks guys, you convinced me. I'll ask Sinn to ship it on the bracelet when they return from service. :salute:

Agreed. Steel makes it bland. Black all the way

This watch is smoking hot. Owned a U1SDR, but this is next-level. Can't wait to get mine.
