Some of those are terrible, but I like this one for some reason:
I do too, but not at that price point.
How much is it
Rubber: $5,250.00
Leather: $4,960.00
Thanks. I couldn’t open the link. Works now.
I’d spend 5k on something else before Sinn but it’s nice. I love the 358

The more I look at the 358 DS, the more I like it. The dial reminds me of the DIAPAL with its contrasting registers, which I really like. Sort of a DIAPAL look for the price of the standard 358.

Same. The 356 is way too small for me. I’ve never understood why the 358 gets ignored.
Same!
I’m a smaller guy than both of you, but I like watches that are too big for my wrist, so I’m glad to see some progress with the 358.
I’d love a 358 DS UTC.

That’s my favorite of the new releases. If I was in the market for a new watch, that’s the one I’d buy.

Same here.
Glad to see it's not an LE; curious to see what a few dials look like in the flesh.
Description from watch buys site:
The Engraved Dial
The engraved dial is created using a special decorative grinding process. No two dials are alike, and the result created through the machining process cannot be repeated.
While the dial appears grey from afar, up close it becomes more evident that the base material can change color depending upon the angle of the light.
The pale SuperLuminova used on the hands, hour markers, and bezel index ensure that the watch remains highly legible despite its minimalist design.
The subdials feature small concentrically engraved circles, and the subdials appear slightly darker than their surroundings which helps give the overall dial an "aged" look.

I've always wanted a 144 but worried about how small it wears.. Otherwise nothing jumping out for me.

Absolutely love this 717
While 45mm is large, the stubby lugs should make it no bigger than my T1’s. Just 2.7mm thicker and L2L is 48.3mm
L2L 48.3mm
Large flat case back should wear well on the wrist.
Lume looks great too
I definitely prefer it on the 24mm leather strap.
It would probably look great on an Isofrane as well.
Time to start saving my pennies
