Sinn U50 Pro!

Post by BBK357 » Thu May 26, 2022 1:04 pm

Starting a new thread to avoid the shenanigans.

$3250 strap
$3330 bracelet

Background

Before we get into the specifics about this watch, some background information is helpful.

Years ago we met Chris Shortell at our New York Road Show, and Chris approached us with an interesting statement - "I have an idea for a better U1 if you are interested".

We were both interested and ready to hear his ideas, and Chris worked with us in 2016 to design the Sinn U1 Professional, a watch that has become somewhat legendary among those who know Sinn.

If you were lucky enough to own a Sinn U1 Professional, you know how well this watch was made, and why listening to Chris was critical to its release. That watch too was a limited edition, and all pieces quickly sold out.

When Sinn introduced the first Sinn U50, we again contacted Chris to discuss a professional version of that watch, and the Sinn U50 Professional is now a reality.

We thank Chris for his invaluable input, ideas, and time to develop both the original Sinn U1 Professional and the new Sinn U50 Professional.

Sorry I kept this one so quiet, guys. I figured everyone would like a surprise.

I didn't even read the details. Just went straight to submitting paypal. Loved my U1P so much... other than size was the perfect tool watch.

Any idea on delivery? They don't say anything. Assume this fall?

This is why they invented PayPal Credit - 0% for 6 month financing. Do it.

I’ve been told they’ll start shipping June or July, and through the winter.

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
And If I have trouble the warranty said

Wondering where you were hiding through this. Good to see you and great job getting this done!

In for #14. I always regretted selling my U1 Pro but the U50 will fit me better. Perfect watch. Thanks Chris.

You were fast! I went through the purchase process as soon as I got the email, and the low #s were disappearing as I tried to check out.

I’ve been checking the site all day as I had a feeling this was going to be good and I caught it before they sent the email. Might have been right when they posted it on the site.

Anyway, really looking forward to this one!
