    Hi All

    I’m selling my Sinn 103 SA HD from the era when Helmut Sinn owned and managed the company, during his time watches were produced in fairly small batches.
    So what do all the numbers and letter designations after 103 mean - SA means it has a Sapphire Crystal and HD means it’s Handwound. Because there’s no auto rotor there’s a much slimmer case profile, about as thick as a Speedmaster- so it fits beautifully (see photos side by side with a Speedmaster).
    This one has great Patina - the Tritium has aged to a lovely even Creme Brûlée colour which gives it a great Vintage quality despite the Watch only being circa 30 years old.......and as for that Seconds Chrono Hand - I love the big arrow filled with Tritium, one of the main reasons I bought it.

    Details

    Case - good condition, with a sapphire case back, signed screw down crown and screw down pushers
    Lugs- 20mm
    Case Diameter- 41mm
    Movement- Valjoux 7760 Handwound
    Crystal - Sapphire
    Bezel- Dive Type
    Day/Date Wheel - German
    Buckle - original Sinn buckle
    Service History - last serviced August 2016 - all functions work well

    That's a really nice watch. I have owned several SINN and this is super nice.
