How's the thickness and weight on the 556? I often wear a Tudor BB41 as my 'everyday' watch, but it's a big, hefty thing. I've been starting to eye a 556 B as an alternative, and am curious to hear how others feel about their 556's.
Watch in question:
U50 fresh out of the box...
Looks great, how do you like it? Seems to fit perfectly on your wrist.👍
thanks KingC..... first impressions after a weekend wearing? Uber-legible dial ( typical on Sinn) ..IMO, Sinn’s anti-reflective is industry standard. The interplay of the red orange, deep matte black and stark white are a winning color scheme. Feels very light on the wrist
( similar to my 566 on a H link )...the LEGO hands, which I can see some folks - not being crazy about... for me only add to the military tool feel to it. The brushed matte H link bracelet and case give that look too. Lume seems decent enough for what I’m doing at night. I never owed the U1 ( only tried it on) ,.. but for my tastes this U50 is a hit. I think Sinn will move a lot of German U Boat steel on this latest diver from them.
I have long hankered after a Sinn, and last year bought a Sinn 140A. It is a gorgeous watch with high quality case finishing, a highly legible Lemania 5012-type display and some very neat features, including waterproof chrono pushers. But for some reason I never used it for swimming and despite the scratch resistant Tegimented steel case, it didn't get used as much as it might do for anything else, possibly because I had my trusty Fortis B-42 Cosmonaut Chrono, complete with the Lemania 5100 movement and lightweight titanium case. So I was probably a bit susceptible when I received an unsolicited approach from someone on another forum who was looking for one.
The Sinn 140A is now passed on, but I suspect that another Sinn model may be along before too long. I had some design input into the EZM10 when that was under development, a dozen years ago, and despite its very similar functionality to the Fortis, and its Ti case, I would like to try one some time. And then there is the Sinn EZM1, another I've been thinking of for at least a decade, or perhaps the EZM1.1 remake. Unfortunately though, they don't seem to be getting any cheaper, but, business difficulties in the current year permitting, I hope to pick one of them up in the next few months.
But it's brand with some superb watches. In fact, if I was told I could have, say, a three watch collection but could choose only the current models from one brand, it's a toss-up as to whether I'd choose Sinn or Omega.
I'd love to hear more about you ended giving design input on the EZM10!
I have a 103 that I use all the time at work, and I think I'd love to replace it with the EZM10 at some point. I haven't been able to see one in person, but it looks like a terrific tool watch, and I love the look of a fully lumed bezel.
