I just got the email from Watchbuys about it.

Like the design a lot! :cheers:


However, I think the capsule restricts you to dealing only with Sinn,
in Germany, for any repair down the road. (unless that has changed)

Nice size, newly and exclusively designed/built case, Ar gas filled case (w/ CuSO4 capsule), modified base movement (7750 or something else??) and a 60 minute vs. 30 minute chrono register. I dig it. Price is not too bad considering the modifications and other special features and not to mention it being limited edition (500 pieces). I like it. :thumbsup:

I wish they had left off the 1961-2011 from the dial. Other than that it's just about perfect. I love the grey dial.

I should have looked closer at the dial - just noticed that and agree.

Other than the lume color used (I would prefer white), it is pretty nice!

I can understand that. Try not looking at it as an anniversary model. I was hoping for something new, fresh and kick ass for that. This was not it.

But as "just a watch", I've come to really like it.

Here's hoping they do bring something new...and fresh...and kick ass, when the new movement debuts later this year. :cheers:
