Witt Diver. Loving the lume.


Very nice! It seems like enthusiasts are getting enthusiastic for Wittnauer and rightfully so. They made a lot of nice watches.

Their old sales slogan was something approximating - "Wittnauer. Your watchmakers watch!"

Soooo nice. Very rich, warm color.

I use the same "trick" with custom straps -which is to go like +.075mm more than the lug width (only if seems appropriate for the watch head). Very subjective and not scientific !! Lulzz

I just hate the tail sticking out.
It's not that I have freakishly small wrists (about 17.5 cm), but I still like my straps short.

This one is 21/18 110/75 3mm thick

This one helped me plant some tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. Then it helped me sand some of the deck rails. Now it's going to help me drink a cold beer and have a cigar.


Love your Seiko dive watch!! (I just bought a brand new SNZG17K1 - black ion)

Watch out for that sun.

Nice!! You just made me an extra happy guy.

I won an auction the other day on a very similar (yours is nicer) Sinn 7751. I like the lugs on your watch / the one Im supposed to be getting is a little more bog standard.

Factory strap and in my experience this is a generally good predictor that the watch will be in good condition, which it appears to be.

My plan is fit a nice NATO on the watch and us it as my daily for the sumner. These "grand" complications are a pleasure when kept running...

Beg pardon: do you have an idea in your head for FMV (fair mkt $) for these watches? This will be my first Sinn and I plan on keeping it. I think I did OK but I'm not loaded like most of these guys around here...

Hi citizenrich,

Yours is the Sinn 6026. That one is a bit less ornamented and comes with a sapphire crystal, whereas mine comes with a hesalite crystal.

FMV... I don't know. All I know is that I bought mine at an authorised dealer for 1050 euro back in 2003, yours, the 6026 was quite a bit pricier. Aftwerwards the prices have increased considerably (I bought mine when Sinn was still very affordable). I believe the last list price for mine was around the 1600 euro mark (which it is still very much worth imho).

Congrats on a great watch!

Never thought I'd like that, but I really like it! Dibs?
Noted .... Had the same effect on me - I wasn't going to keep it originally, but it's actually really nice to wear, and the lightening bolt just makes me smile 馃檮

Thank you. It always feel a little awkward crossing the money Rubicon but we're allowed to do it here and it's what sets this forum apart from all the others.

FWIW - I think your watch looks substantially better and I don't even think it close.

She looks beautiful on your wrist: you wear it well.
