Am a fan of Sinn particularly the U1 and the 857 but due to my procrastination, i missed the chance to obtain it when it was cheaper and only due to my pride that i am refraining from purchasing one new today. Maybe will do so if a pre-owned one shows up.

I have a U1 but the love is fading since I got my black DA36. The Damasko is a lot more comfortable for daily wear (Maybe I need the change the steel bracelet on my U1). The weight is really putting me off. Other than that I think it's a cool watch

I have a love/hate relationship with my 857s.

Love the look and feel of the watch but hate the weight and less than perfect build quality. But everytime I leave it at home, I'll start to miss it. It's a b-day present from the wife couple of years ago.

Owned a ST103 since new from THG, my experiences
1- the main crown thread worn off during warranty. free service of course
2- the bezel came while swimming. luckily found it back at the shallow end of the pool. got it done free even after warranty
3! -the chrono cap screw-in crown at 2 o'clock came off ! exposing the tiny spring and pin to activate the stop-clock,and the main crown thread gave way again,it only takes a bout 3 turns to tighthen,when usually 5turns or more. send emails to THG & Sinn Germany. Sinn replied and request to send back to them in Germany, total cost about RM$1500.00 including parts changed on movement,service etc... Forgotten if they charge me for the chrono button. All parts changed were given back to me.
After doing some search in the web,i read some Sinn owner having such experiences too !
Imagine changing the Main screw-in crown tube twice..where some of my other watches with screw-in crown never have such problems

Having said that,i am having second thoughts on buying the long admired U1...which i find it encase in a very tough material which is good for rough use..

Owned a Sinn U1 SDR but sold it off.
Tough and huge watch... not really ngam for my pencil wrists...
Between Sinn and Damasko, I would very much prefer Damasko.
Still waiting for the new models to be available though...

It's a tough watch which can use as daily beater.
One of the best rubber strap, very comfy, but dust will very easily stick on the strap.
And the AR coating on the crystal is awesome!
opps forgot to mention..I own a Sinn U1.

Well Dav, you don't hear this from the dealers when they are selling this brand. Once i was checking out a Glycine in one of the showroom in KL, and i pointed out to the sales person the crown has a lot of side movement and also very loose ! ...Guess what he told me, Thats what you pay for ! Direct Chinese translation " pay 1cents worth from 1cent of Goods "  :Laughing_on_floor:

If you hang out at the showroom for long you will hear all kinds of S#*t and customers complains.. I still remember recently,a customer complain her 2week old Rolex only have power reserve less than half a day,if not worn,and she use to wear it like alternate day ! Insist they replace a new watch ! And the story goes on...... :Scolding:

Not as good as. A seiko. Dirty lume I would say. Does not glow that even. But the contrast of white to black makes up for it. Highly legible at a glance and in dark conditions.

Title: Re: Sinn fans...any?
Post by: Enkidu on November 10, 2011, 08:31:47 AM
My experience with Sinn is a little mixed. I bought a 356 chronograph in 2004. The watch worked fine for a few months, then it went dead. Just wouldn't move even when manually wound. I sent it back to the AD who sent it to Sinn's service centre (can't remember where, maybe Singapore). I got the watch back about 2 months later....I wore the watch off and on for a few years, then it went dead again!!!! This time I sent it to my usual watch repair fellow, told me some parts were not assembled properly and the mainspring went bust. Repaired for about RM 200 I think. So much for German precision and quality. After a while, I traded the watch (on SCWF) for a Seiko Alpnist.

Despite the bad experience with the 356, I bought a 656 this year. I got the one on leather strap. Quite a semi-heavy watch. My daily wearer, very legible, comfortable to wear. Accuracy wise, when I first bought it, it was running pretty accurately (within COSC range, despite not having a COSC rated movement!!!), but after a few months, it began to run fast (about 10-12 sec a day). I have no problem with that. Sinn 656 is very legible, but don't count on the lume. But I notice there are small traces of rust around the rim of the back-case lately. I opened the back case and cleaned it myself. Maybe I sweat a lot......

I could be wrong, but I think there is only 1 AD in Malaysia rights? Outlets in Gardens (I bought my 656 there), Lot 10 (got my 356 there)....... I guess you should know which shop i am referring to..

My advice??.......buy and enjoy the watch, but don't expect too much.

Good luck.

THG should highlight problems to SINN, i have read soem SINN owners having problems with theirs too. Why waste money on advertisement when they can't take care of existing watch owners?
If fact the SINN Club here is only interested on launching new products and generating more sales...

I think we could be referring to Sinn Club South East Asia, based (yes) in Singapore. I am not a member. And yes, I know there are some hardcore Sinn lovers out there. They proudly call themselves "Sinners". You can find some other relatively active fora like Timezone.com.

To me, one of the most attractive Sinn is probably the 857. But my former colleague (who owned one) told me the bezel insert / bezel itself may get scratched and even "ding-ed" quite easily. That's why I settled for a 656 even though there was an 857 in the shop when I purchased the 656.

There are several types of process for ' Black Coating ' the watch case,namely the most common entry level the PVD,which i was told since Bell Ross was one of the earliest, that the surface may scratch easily and reveal the bare steel..
Today there are many types of coatings available from different manufacturer. Some called it DLC-Don't know hard compare to Diamond,since its call DLC....until you 'ding' it !!... :Praying:

Oh well, the reason the person person make noise  is because Sinn did not used the so called "entry level" pvd and instead using a good quality ones and claimed that the tegiment steel + black coating is hard and hence does not peel off (which doesn't happen to the person who complain about it).


If sinn had use the normal pvd process, the person wont be making noise knowing that the pvd layer would be scratched off eventually...

Well, we learn new things from the discussion on Sinn watches.
Does Damasko watches also the same as Sinn in terms of being scratch-proof on the "Black-coating"?

Here is what Damasko said
   
"The Watch Case

.....we took out patents for 20 closely related martensitic sorts of stainless steel which highly exceeded our expectations. They are absolutely nickel-free, offer a good corrosion resistance, and can be tempered up to 64 HRC/800Vickers which is four times the hardness of every other steel currently used in the watch industry.
What makes this material so special is the fact that the molten steel is enriched with 0.35% nitrogen under high pressure. Nitrogen and carbon are responsible for the hardness of the alloy. Under normal circumstances it takes about 1% of carbon to temper a martensitic steel up to 60 Rockwell but the low nitrogen content of our steel only requires 0.35% of carbon to achieve this superior hardness and in addition to that leads to an excellent corrosion resistance which is many times higher compared to other temperable martensitic steels. Due to the special process of hardening we call this steel “ice-hardened, nickel-free stainless steel”. This material is patented for our applications and Damasko makes exclusive use of this pioneering material.

The entire watch case, including hardened crown and pushers is designed, engineered, and machined at our factory near Regensburg. Until the end of 2002 we supplied our cases to a well known German watch brand but from now on these cases will only be available through Damasko.
After the special heat treatment mentioned above our steel reaches a maximum hardness of 62 Rockwell which makes it superbly scratch-resistant. You have to search hard to find a common household item ( apart from a sapphire nail-file or a brick) that is able to scratch the case.
Due to its superior performances this steel was mainly created for aeronautical use in:

- ball bearings for jet-engines
- rotor bearings for helicopters
- fuel pumps of the “Space Shuttle”
- high-speed bearings in CNC lathes
- dental and surgical instruments"

Here is mine

From my posts above, I perhaps (inadvertantly) gave the impression that all Sinns have issues. This of course is not true. I know a Sinn owner who has been wearing his Sinn chrono (the one with the discontinued Lemania movement, can't recall the reference number) for years and years and he swears the watch is working all OK.

Hi

Does anyone have any experience servicing their Sinn? What is their service interval like; and how much does a service cost? Do you send to the local AD or to Germany directly

I am considering a 7 year old 856 UTC. The copper sulfate capsule is still white. Is it worth considering?

own a 303 chronograph, the chrono up down at between 11 and 12, sent to hg pavillion still under warranty expire may 2012.
they just do only observation only, they said nothing wrong with the watch that was feb 2012.

i ask what if i take back same problem, after warranty they will charge, after some argument they agreed they sent to singapore hg service center.

i receive back my watch end of april 2012, the timing is slow, adjusted a few times, sent the last time last month still slow but better now -3 second a day and the chrono have problem stop at between 11 and 12, now i just press the chrono on off, now it ok for the time being. hope no major repair in future.

I also read before people's experience of HG playing for time then charging after warranty. Maybe should escalate to Sinn HQ in order to get their attention. I tried asking for service charges from HG but they would not provide any. Don't know how much will it cost to send back to Germany for servicing

I paid about rm400 inclusive insurance when i send to Germany, few parts changed etc..etc..they returned my replaced parts back to me,unlike here they keep to recycle !
When i got it back,i saw some finger prints on the rotor and movement ! German workmanship ! Had it cleaned at Hour Glass. Running a couple of minutes fast a month..

Mine is U2s .....

Sorry forgot to take the cooper sulphate color ... but its surely dark blue ...  maybe next time need to take it off when basuh tangan ... hehe

Wah how can! It's a diver watch! I'm guessing they need to send back to Germany already since need to check for leakage, change the capsule and refill Ar gas

Any idea how long is the turnaround time?

Please keep us updated on your repair thanks

"If you hang out at the showroom for long you will hear all kinds of S#*t and customers complains.. I still remember recently,a customer complain her 2week old Rolex only have power reserve less than half a day,if not worn,and she use to wear it like alternate day ! Insist they replace a new watch ! And the story goes on...... :Scolding:"


The above lady customer complaint lack of power reserve of her Rolex mainly due to her low wrist activity :Cheers:, if she only spend 8 hours on the keyboard is mainly finger activity :Blue:.  This is a common complaint by lady customer as I often encounter while in the trade before.  The best solution is always give it a few winds before putting it on :thumbsup:.

That why Patek is smart to made most of the ladies model in quartz like Twenty4 :Dancing_banana:.  No lady will complaint on this matter :mooning:.

The best I ever heard was a lady customer asked me to put a new battery on her Rolex Datejust  :Laughing_on_floor:

Hi Guys, need some help here. I am just helping an overseas friend to source a Sinn watch. His target models are:

U1000; u1000s; u1000sdr; u2; u2s; u2sdr

Any one of these models will do. So any idea whether they r availlable in malaysia and how much selling for new stock? Sorry havent got time to visit the AD yet..

but if anyone got these models to let go, he will consider pre-owned too...

Thx in advance..

Both branches have U1, 856 and 556A, no other less common models.

Can try the branch at Lot10 but I doubt they will have U1000 or U2

Very tough and astute watch.
Wears a little small but that's the beauty of old school military type watches. Too bad this is no longer in production..

i am looking at both the 103 and 104 ... both very nice..price also reasonable...RRP for the 103 Sapphire s/s about rm11k+, and for a 104 is rm6.5k .. I like the 103 chrono style which is similar like Brequet n I also like the simple modern pilot with Arabic numeral of a 104...

the 103 come with the acrylic glass which is quite attractive ....
