yeah man...that thing is built like a tank! near indestructible and scratch resistant. wrap it around your knuckle and punch your way out of trouble  :laugh:

instantly recognisable and unmistakable. a true modern iconic classic. think this model would definitely be in the 21st century list of most iconic watches.

Don't think you can get the Sinn U1 for less than rm5 k new as the list price at HG is rm8k+ Factor in the disc and still rm6k+..Used can maybe get at less than 5
