  • I am a proud owner of the U-1 T-SDR. I sent my watch for repair because I dropped my watch while winding on a hard surface. The seconds hand and winding equipment got damaged. While it was out for 5 months because i wanted the repair to be done in Germany by the technician that put the watch together. I couldn’t be happier, i got my watch back with a full explanation of the work, got the parts that were replaced and i was in constant communication with customer service letting me know when my watch arrived, when it was on track to be repaired, when the repair was completed, right to the point when the watch was sent via air mail back to the USA. Nothing short of amazing, my watch has come back working just as when it was new! Sinn technician manare truly unique at their craft. I own a GMT 16710 and that watch was serviced as well in NYC. I must tell you Rolex customer service was not as good as Sinn.

    When we lived in Germany we were lucky as my mother-in-law lived about 3 kilometers away from the Sinn showroom. I'd ride my electric skateboard there often. I have 6 Sinn watches in my small collection. My favorite is the EZM 1. When our kids start university we are headed back to our house in Spain and for 60 euros, I will take a flight to Frankfurt.

    I visited their old factory year ago. Thanks!

    Wow and thank you for giving us a glimpse of people at Sinn and their tech. I visited both their Frankfurt factory and downtown store but nothing close to your access to this open house/demo tour. And I thought I would never get an UX/oil filled quartz but after seeing it in Frankfurt and understanding all the tech my U50 Hydro is in route.

    Very cool, i enjoyed that. Still deciding on what my first Sinn will be but looking forward to having a small piece of this wonderful brand one day.

    So a liquid filled watch will counter atm pressure at depth.Very interesting technology.Equilibrium is achieved.I wonder why Rolex has never used this method on their serious dive watches.Clever to illiminate reflection when under water.

    Great viewing. I got myself a UX a few weeks ago. Getting used to the second hand having a life of its own as it travels round the dial took a little getting used to but now I love it. It's not a watch for people with OCD at all. The clarity and contrast of the dial cannot be beaten and it has a nice reassuring heft to it. The only downer is the quite frankly pathetic lume. It's a keeper though.

    Hey Alix, question; I'm new to all this, so, about oil-filled timepieces, I'm assuming only quartz pieces would be suitable for oil filing. I can't imagine a mechanical movement with the balance wheel swishing around back and forth in the stuff. How far 'off the beam' am I on this one?

    Microphone setup and handling needs to be worked on. Very disturbing sound quality.
