SINN U50 1 year of Ownership

[@2manysigns]

I'm sure Omegas are great these days but I'd rather have that watch . Great , proven movement and much more reasonable service options . The steel is fantastic . Excellent . I'm also a big fan of Guinand , Muhle Glashutte as well as Damasko but other German brands that average folk could save up for also . I've a sense you can't go wrong with that . Very cool design .

[@TennesseeMike]

I really like Damasko and Muhle. I could see adding one to my collection. I'm not familiar with Guinand but plan on checking out. Thanks for watching and the awesome feecback.

The MG S.A.R. Rescue-Timer Lumen and the Damasko DC 80 Orange are also fantastic watches. With the the MG came over time the little issue, that reading the time by night doesn't work for me: the hands are scelletonised. But the DC 80 is simply WOW!

Hey Mike, Congratulations on your U50 Fully Tegimented. Bulletproof, 11,2mm thin and unique in many ways. All the best from Germany.

[@TennesseeMike]

Totally agree. Great watch.

[@threethrushes]

Sinn is excellent. I have a quartz, oil-filled watch. It feels pleasant to wear a beautifully-engineered mechanical wonder on one's wrist.

[@TennesseeMike]

The oil filled are very cool. Off top of my head I think they have a U50 variant that has that tech.

[@ms.annthrope415]

If it's quartz, then it's not mechanical. But I really like Sinn and would love their quartz, but can do without the oil.

Big fan of Sinn, the scratch resistant coating gives me a lot of peace of mind to where it at work and has meant that I have ditched my digitals completely. Now I just have my 856 and a Stowa marine and I'm really happy 😁

[@nickcapretta5481]

U50 is great, mine is never leaving my collection. If you want another German diver, check out the 39mm GO SeaQ. My favorite diver and a great upscale compliment to the U50

[@TennesseeMike]

GO is an awesome piece. A little out of my comfort zone on price however.

[@dadmodswatches]

I'm trying to get rid of a few and buy my first Sinn, I love them.

[@TennesseeMike]

Awesome. Which model?

[@dadmodswatches]

@@TennesseeMike I want an 857 and the 556a

[@hgr.7857]

Been wearing my 104 St Sa now most day for about a year. I really have to force myself to wear anything else. To that end, I'm ordering a 556i RS in about a week. My watch collecting niche has narrowed to German automatiks. The Sinn EZT, Damasko, Glashutte 🤤

[@hgr.7857]

I got a Sinn 104 St Sa (H-link) last June to commemorate a milestone. It's a double edge sword, bc it's about the only watch I wear now. I really have to force myself to wear anything else, despite havingany that I really like. Ordering a 556i RS (H-link) next week. The first month or so of ownership & I realized that my collecting journey will now be focused on German automatiks. The Sinn EZM and U models are 🔥, Damasko, Glashutte 🤤 All that to say: quit fkn around and order the Sinn. Every day that you wait is a day that you won't be able to wear it, and the prices are ever increasing. Lawd, I wish I got my 556i when they were about 1K (now 1.6K) 💸

[@TennesseeMike]

@@hgr.7857 If I were to to get a Sinn 104 that is the one I'd probably consider. The Green Special Edition is one that has caught my eye as well. Is yours on the Fine Link Bracelet?

[@RabbitWatchShop]

I would keep it. Unique design. Hyper legibility. Looks like a straight up precise German instrument / tool. Nice pop of color with the red seconds hand and printing.

[@TennesseeMike]

Well said. I agree.

[@fossilimprint2954]

The U50 is a keeper.

[@TennesseeMike]

Not totally sure actually. I recently offered it up for a trade. #flipper4life

[@hgr.7857]

Sinn for the winn. My 104 St Sa (H-link) has rarely left my wrist since I obtained it. I want a white 105 (the 6 o'clock date is better, symmetrical, but the hands on the 104 dominate). An6way, I'd like a white 105 to contrast the anthracite 104, and I'd love a U series at some point, and those EZMs... 🤤 *556i RS shall be ordered this June.* Its been in and out 9f the cart multiple times; it's now or never, before the price creeps up any higher.

[@vjboca44]

Excited to hear your thoughts on my all time favourite watch....the Doxa Sub 300!

[@TennesseeMike]

Should be in end of month. I will definitely do videos on it. It’s been on my radar for a few years. I’m very excited to add to my collection.

[@valjean3141]

I have a Sinn U1 (the blacked out beige version), and the 104. I like the 104, but definitely don’t give up the U50 - you will just wind up needing to buy it back. There’s something about the U50 and U1 - there’s nothing else quite like them.

[@TennesseeMike]

Well said.

[@brianh9575]

Where in Tennessee do you live. Memphis here. Curious how the U50 keeps time… I’ve been considering it along with a few other Sinns for many years. Probably gonna pull the trigger soon.

[@TennesseeMike]

I’m in Chattanooga area. U50 pretty accurate IMO.

[@goldenskies9884]

I own an omega smp300 and I still want a u50. My advice would just be to enjoy the sinn and continue to save for an omega.

[@dissident_mantis7]

I have an Omega Seamaster Professional 300 in blue on the OEM bracelet , the Sinn U50 on an army green nato and a seiko tuna SBBN049 on an Isofrane strap. Perfect 3 watch collection. I sold the doxa because I hated the lume.

[@JimKinkade]

Don’t let that one go!

[@TennesseeMike]

If I did it would fund another Sinn.

[@Walnutman5700]

Mike I'm thinking about the black case black bezel red silicone strap U50. It would be my most expensive watch. Others in my group range between $300-$700 so it is out of my comfort zone. Your thoughts?

[@TennesseeMike]

I'm a big fan. Pics of it look awesome. Definitely a tier jump for you. Have you checked out in person? I know that's difficult.

[@Walnutman5700]

No only see it on the internet. That's another worry!

[@TennesseeMike]

@Walnutman5700 I generally buy watches without checking out in person first.

[@Walnutman5700]

Thanks for your input. I don't think they discount?

[@TennesseeMike]

Watchbuys does not to my knowledge. You could keep your eyes out for a used. I got mine used.

[@VersedNJ]

I gave the U50 and for a few years.

[@BridgeWatches]

It’s a great watch. Just wish they’d get that tool less clasp out the door for the tegimented bracelet.

[@TennesseeMike]

I agree

[@rowdyron4111]

Can't lego of that one.
