Beautiful! Very Sinn-ish

thanks. So i dont need to get a Sinn anymore?

 

No, it means you need at least a half a dozen Sinn watches too. And the most expensive models.

 

if there’s one thing i learned from Philippine Catholic schools: stay away from Sinn.

 

Is that the new Speedgraf reedition? If so, can you share some thoughts? I was curious about it but ultimately decided not to go for it.

 

yes it is. Two things i like about it. Telemeter scale and countdown bezel.

 

Bronze should be like silver, in that you can polish and clean the patina away to start over whenever you want. Not everyone loves bronze but I wouldn’t worry about it’s ability to hold up to the elements.

 

I’m seeing red!!!!!!!!!

 

that new kickstarter dark green superman is pretty nice. might of even looked better going with the faux lume

$545 is solid as well....not really that gung ho of this in house movement being any better than a swiss....you know it will have to go back to yema if anything goes wrong...then, bammm..shipping to and from france + cost to fix/service could be really steep

yema doing this really sends the wrong message with their customer base that paid 1k for their other superman's

 

Yema will offer a discounted upgrade for those:

The in-housing is certainly kind of a pain but should only be an issue in the case where parts are needed. Still, at $545 (or $750 for a GMT) the initial outlay isn't too shabby. I'm neither a bronze enthusiast nor have another watch in my budget this year beyond those already pre-ordered and paid for, but the blue GMT is speaking to me for some reason... will have to see next week when it launches on Kickstarter.

 

the price is nice, no doubt. for the whole watch....but what if the in house movement is worse than an average eta.........which can't be entirely ruled out..

if i bought a heritage superman with eta i would certainly not send it in for their so called "upraded in house movement",,,and pay 250-350 for it...

pretty soon many watch brands will have an in house, and the majority will be worse than an eta or a pain in the ass to service without taking you to the cleaners

 

I think it'll be fine, but what I'm saying is I'm more likely to accept the service prices if I pay $750 for the early-bird watches rather than the eventual MSRP

 

I'm disappointed they're only offering the bronze cases in this kickstarter round - I really don't like them compared with the ss models.

 

I like the blue GMT but just not sure if I will like the bronze. I wish they offered a stainless option. Pair that with their coffin bracelet.....man that would be killer!

 

Although I do like their brushed bronze watches, I don't care for this "pebbled" look--or whatever you call it. Looks cheap to me.

 

these two new hyped up in house 2000 movements dropped in a stainless case with bronze bezel are going to be $545 on kickstarter. people have paid almost double that for their heritage sub with an eta inside.

i think yema is going to phase out all eta and their prices will even come down, not go up because of it. i never heard of such a thing. business's don't usually charge you less for a better product

 

Why would anyone want to pay $99 for a datewheel where single digits are not centered properly and the font is terrible?

 

i don't even get that part. does the date wheel only fit the new movement making it a must buy,..or is it just a potential upgrade in yema's eyes.

 

They believe that a colour change is worth 99$ I guess
