Hate watchbuys..I might have a new Sinn hookup?
While browsing the FS section on WUS, I came across someone selling a new Sinn that was purchased in Germany. The company's name happened to be on the receipt pictures in his ad, so I googled them. It turns out that they are an AD that has a site in both German and English and a salesperson that writes (poorly, but understandable) in English. I sent them an inquiry about a UX GSG9 on bracelet and she replied that one could be had for apx $1700 USD shipped! They are an AD too. For comparison, watchbuys charges $2040 for the GSG9 on rubber. Here's there site: http://www.watch.de/english/men-s-watch ... /sinn.html Keep in mind that their prices depicted have the 19% VAT factored in. As long as the watch is shipped out of EU, that is subtracted. Shipping is a flat 100 Euros. Seems like a great deal given the current devalued Euro, and the fact that you can bypass WB altogether. Anyone have experince with these guys?

I have never dealt with that guy but you check chrono24 and see if he is a trusted seller on there.
I have used this guy Andre.Grewling@gmx.de for some Marcello C watches and he might be able to help you out.

Rob, are you referring to that nearly new U2 on WUS? Lovely watch. You think Watchbuys are bad? Check out the local AD prices here in Australia. Big money.

No, its not the WB prices that are so bad. Its the fact that they are a bag of dicks. I'd rather send my money outside of the US to a company that treats me well than support a company with bad customer service practices.nolans wrote:Rob, are you referring to that nearly new U2 on WUS?

I just posted this up because in my last Sinn thread, there were a few people who said they wanted a new Sinn, but wouldn't get one because they couldn't tolerate WB. So, I figured this would be another channel to go through. I don't need any more Sinns at the moment - got a U1 on the wrist and a U2s and UX sdr should be here Friday. I am good to go in the Sinn department

I've bought from watch.de before. I'm not sure they are official Sinn dealers (didn't see them on the list of dealers in Germany) but they do have a nice selection of watches, 1000 day warranty period, and they respond to you quickly. They also sell on ebay if you search on ebay.de
Re: Hate watchbuys..I might have a new Sinn hookup?
I inquired about a bracelet by itself, and was told by Angelina I had to contact the manufacturer. They do not sell bracelets stand alone.
She did respond about 45 minutes after I inquired though.

they'll send to the US? nice.
Re: Hate watchbuys..I might have a new Sinn hookup?
I haven't bought from Watchbuys, as my Sinn came 2nd hand, but from the horror stories I've heard, I want nothing to do with them. Any other dealers are always welcome, especially if they are cheaper than the ONLY US Distributor.

Thanks for the tip. Will have to remember them in the future.

I've read somewhere that there's a Canadian Sinn AD but they can't advertise because of exclusivity of Watchbuys and I don't know whether they ship to the US.

Yeah I'm not sure dealers outside of the USA are allowed to ship to the states. I'm not crazy about WB but with enough patience most things end up on the sales pages eventually. My problem is I'm not patient. :D

Louis-Black in downtown Toronto are an Authorized Sinn Dealer, but a silent one. I bought a U1-T from there, no waiting on a pre-order list like on Watchbuys, they just ordered direct from Germany my 1 watch. Call them up they'll prob ship to you.
