Sinn Legend Diver?

Post by logan2z » Wed Dec 04, 2013 7:49 am

Saw this on Sinn's FB page and not sure what to make of it. Looks like a Sinn-redialed Super Compressor of some kind. Maybe a Droz or something similar? Anyone ever seen one of these before?

Yeah pretty cool. I updated my original post. In retrospect looks more like a Droz or something similar than a Longines.

Lots of brands used the Super Compressor case which I believe was manufactured by Piquerez. I've never seen a Sinn-branded version though, and it looks very cool.

I was thinking it looked exactly like the Sinn version of the current Longines diver. I like it.

My initial thought too, but the dial is actually quite different:

You're right. I like the Sinn much better. Sort of off topic, am I the only person that thinks a totally flat set of hands looks cheap? I know that many very nice/expensive watches don't use a 3d hand set, but there's just something really nice about the watches (like this particular Sinn) that fit a hand with some depth. Older IWCs have this as well (the Rolex Daytona is another good example). It finishes off a watch very nicely.

Bears more similarity to this Droz (except for the hands)

Would love to see photo's of the movement and both sides of the case back to see SInn printed on them to see if this watch is legit.

Not a big fan of Sinn. Doesn't do anything for me.
