Sinn 103 Classic 12

Post by CGSshorty » Wed Sep 01, 2021 4:38 am

Absolutely gorgeous, in my opinion. 60th Anniversary LE of 600.

That looks great, Chris.


LE of 600 means I can wait to see some in the wild before deciding to order.

Stunning. And 17mm thick. Though that's the same as my blue 103 and I'm sensitive to thick watches. Somehow it does not bother me on mine. I'd rock that in a second.

Looks like Sinn reworked the sub dials, too and they did a great job, imo

I like how they used a champagne color rather than silver.

Yeah, I keep wanting to get these new Sinn chronographs, but then I see the thickness....

I saw the older 103 Klassic Limited Edition at a Watchbuys NYC roadshow, but I hesitated and missed out. I definitely prefer the new version though.

yeah, that's nice, been ages since I've had a chrono in my collection. Not sure about 17mm though.

The 103 wears really well for 17mm thick.

I agree. My Supermarine S500 @16mm and my PO GMT at 17mm drove me crazy. My 103 @17mm does not.

Subdials, etc., look whiter in this video.

The same thing happened to you with the 103 A Sa B. Some subdials, like my watch, were clearly champagne colored. Later releases were more silver.

I think they're very lightly colored, so they probably appear white.

This photo... :love:. Can't do 17mm but damn. I came very close to getting the Ti version of the 103 recently...

Here is another, they really nailed the 3 register chrono design:

The 206 Arktis wears really good on straps at that same thickness.

It’s hard to believe until you wear one, but these wear thinner than the specs would suggest. Still thick watches as are all 7750-powered watches, but better than you might think.

All 600 completely sold out. That was fast.
