sinn 556 - quite possibly the best all around sport/dress watch for a 7" wrist on every level

The Sinn 556 to me is a great looking watch, but it doesn't have any of the improvements that Sinn has made otherwise to watches like the tegimented steel - although tegimentation is basically like an eggshell and can be "cracked" if it is scratched hard enough. The DA36 though, like all Damasko watches, has fully ice hardened steel, and it costs less money. To my knowledge they use C3 lume, which is frankly sub-par these days. There are people out there that have had their Damaskos re-lumed just because it's so poor. The all-lume faced models though, while still being of lower intensity, seem to be better lume wise just because there is so much more of it.

I personally want a DA42 or DA43, but that's still on the horizon.

Its a nice looking watch but I prefer this.
