Thanks for posting Jay...I think it's kind of cool...I like all of the white- the handset, the bezel markings, and the indices all go nicely together.

Looks like a stone dial. It comes across as “cold” to me.

I like the way it flattens the contrast between the dial and bezel.

From WatchBuys site; this could be very good or very bad.


Sinn has created a very special engraved grey dial using a decorative grinding process.

No two dials are the same as the engraved pattern is unique to that specific watch.

Looks like they're going for that meteorite look imo. Wouldn't be my first choice.

I don't understand it, but like the look. Will definitely hide the scratches that you get in the outer AR.

IWC would call it sandpaperium. It’s highly technological process involving 800 grit sand paper rubbing the dial from 10 to 4 and then 8 to 2 directions. $14k minimum

Does 'DS' stand for Dial Scratches?

Get rid of all that extra red.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

They dropped a bunch of dials in QC and stuck them in these. Smart play.

Not sure about the dial, if anything I would use a different set of hands... U2 hands would be nice... :grin:

This would be nice if they replaced the dial with anthracite color.

You guys know that you’d be popping wood if it was a new GS dial.

Me too. It’s a dial swap away from being good.

If you use a different set of hands, it’s just not a U1.

Agreed. When we did the Pro we discussed switching the hands. Ultimately, we came to the same conclusion as you. For better or worse, those hands belong on the U1.
