I don’t see myself buying another Sinn until a clasp happens. Sheesh!
In the short time that you own the average watch, how many times do you wear it on the bracelet? Once? Twice? :grin:

I’m actually glad they didn’t use the Lego hands of the U50 on this one and differentiate it.
First Sinn in a while I really want

though I thought something was off initially and wasn't sure... the more I look at it the more something seems off with the hands, I think they aren't the right size. throwing off proportions maybe?

Although, I prefer plain dials, I like that rutilated quartz looking dial.

That said digging all the new T50 renditions a lot but glad I pulled the trigger on this! People weren't lying... wears just like the early SD... hell, been so long since i moved my 14060M that it might wear similarly to that, too:

I agree with Chris' post on Ti in a watch size like this... It's been awhile since i wore a watch of this size and weight and know i'm probably going to smack the hell out of it on house features.

Yeah, I realize it’s become a funny thing with me and natos, but I do wear and prefer some stuff on bracelet.

I do think they’re just a tad small/thin.

I think the thinnest is okay but the hour hand could be a tad longer, and as such, the overall handset could benefit in being a tad thicker to accommodate for the added length of the hour hand.

But, alas, i'll never see it in the flesh as it doesn't interest me enough... This may be a model that needs to be seen in the flesh in order to pass final judgment. I'll leave that to someone here inevitably.

So a nearly $5,000 titanium watch that only saves 15g from the steel version….


How about Sinn work on movements next. My sellita movement in my U50P is shit. Not as bad as some Seiko I’ve had, but very inconsistent. Just when it’s +2 sec/day a few week later I look at it and it’s running fast… +9 sec/day. Goes back and forth… not what I’d expect from a $3,400 watch.

So after Sinn figures out how to regulate a sellita they can work on the hard stuff…. Like an adjustable clasp. I know it’s tough guys but Seiko did it 15 years ago; go hire someone from Seiko or Rolex to guide you through it.

I agree with this. At least let them use the SW300-1.

Same experience with pretty much every Sellita movement I’ve owned. Sometimes is great, the next week it’s crazy. Not acceptable in stuff this expensive. I’d rather have a quartz motor than an inaccurate mechanical.

Disappointing for sure. What’s the mvt in the U50p?
And Sinn pieces have just gotten too high in general… for me anyway

The SW300 is pretty sweet. I’ve got a couple of them and they run spot on.

My U50P is one of the least accurate Sinn's that I have owned. Gains around 10 seconds per day. I agree that with price points for Sinn three handers getting into the $4k-$5k range something has to give. Tudor/Omega movements in this price range are superb. Both of my METAS Omegas and my Tudor FXD only gain a couple of seconds per week.

Exactly. My EZM custom I got from Seth (and sold back to him lol) was virtually spot-on timekeeping. Love me some ETA.

And it still keeps poor time or is inconsistent?

Both. Mine has varied between o-+10. I know that’s kinda picky, but cheaper stuff has run better and there is no pattern to the differences.

Do it. I would if I could. I don’t need all the tech but tegimenting is definitely good and the Professional U series watches are perfection.

Oh sorry you already picked it up and are worried about the movement. Gotcha. I have two SW200s and they are great timekeepers, FWIW.

SW300 is supposed to be the equal to the 2892. I may just have been unlucky or Sinn doesn’t regulate them like they used too. Always had great accuracy with ETA Sinn’s.
