Another great review. I just picked up a Sinn 104 and I am so happy with it. I was thinking I would save up now for my first luxury piece, but I’m also tempted to get more Sinn watches. They are that good

Bought the U1 at the Sinn factory in Frankfurt in 2010. 13 Years later I wear it almost daily and it has never failed. The rubber strap unfortunately didn’t last as long and I replaced it with a third party strap (the cost for the replacement strap w/o the clasp is excessive at best). This watch has been on a few hundred dives, has survived two motorbike crashes and still looks like new. At the time I was tempted to either go with the UX (the GSG 9 watch), the U2 or the U1. For me the design was one factor, but also that the UX is not an automatic, but a quartz. And I hate changing batteries in a watch. By the way I paid something a bit shy of a 1000 Euros and also got the 19% VAT back. Cheers from Sydney!

Is your u1 Regimented ?

@j.j.h.atemycereal Жыл бұрын

I've heard that Sinn put the back-play in the U1 bezel ON PURPOSE because, as a super tooly von-tool watch, that back play would assist in dislodging a grain of sand, or a shrimp fin, or something that will inevitably jam up the bezel while you're diving at 1000 meters. So it's not a bug, it's a FEATURE. Great video. Thanks from America!

Loved this show MWC! It’s always so good to hear someone talking about a watch that they love. Before you bought your U50 I would have disregarded it as too modern or not vintage enough but when you hear someone who loves it talk about it you gain a whole new appreciation for a watch you totally overlooked before. It just goes to show how broad the spectrum is when it comes to watches and that’s a great thing! I’m still not sure I’ll ever love the Casio DW290 though 😂 But I do appreciate it now more than I did before. Fantastic work as always MWC 🙌

The U1 has become my most worn watch in my collection by far ever since I bought it. It's a brick shithouse of a watch, one you never ever forget you're wearing, and I just love the look of it. It absolutely screams "TOOL WATCH", I feel like I could take it off and use it as a hammer if I needed to lol. The Lego style hands were what drew me in in the first place, but I totally understand it not being for everyone, it's definitely a look

The problem it’s not the demand go a see the German boutiques, plus the Japan new store they even have special editions that in Europe you can’t find it … yes big demands plus lack of watchemakers personal … anyway love my Sinn’s super well built watches but if you go to the EZM , Flieger Chronos with all the high specs prepare your bank account 😊 the watch’s are all uprising the prices! 😮 one day with all this demands a proper mechanical good watch cost 6 figures 😳! Any way if we want good “watch’s” the U1 bezel is possible to fix but it should be in the fabric, plus the U50 does have a little tiny back play not too much but it’s there ! And have to agree with MWC the 104 is much better made :bezel action spot on , crown much smoother and mine it’s more accurate than the U50 not being picky! The tegimented is Top ! Expensive yes but only the AR coating outside in all Sinn’s are very easy to came off if you beat bit hard but always an option remove it All the best and enjoy your watches wear them not photos and safe boxes….😂

These are such beautiful watches. The bracelet too. My only reservation, with a tegimented watch with sapphire crystal, which is amazing at preventing scratches: why would Sinn then put anti reflective coating on top of the sapphire? Hit a door knob or a wall and the scratch will be visible. If they did a version with the coating under the crystal, that would be maybe my grail watch. All Sinns seem to have this issue with the coating.

I’m just on my way back from a two week holiday in Germany where I had hoped to treat myself to a Sinn 556, maybe the UTC version or the Sinn that looks like a Navitimer but was dismayed at how scarce they are in shops - the dealer I was aware of in Augsburg had a small selection but none that was on my list so I came away empty handed.

I still love U1 better, I have 16,5 cm wrist and U1 are just fine. They are in the service right now, so I bought titanium 42mm Tutima Di300. They are ok, but I just miss that big ol chunk of U-boat steel on my hand 😂

Love the u50. But out here in the former English penal colony, the exchange rate, taxes etc make it on par with a second hand bb58. Tough decision.

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Жыл бұрын

Very tough my friend! The watch you’d wear more often would be the BB58 in my opinion. The U50 is for someone with a few watches in their collection!;£

@kcsrr15 Жыл бұрын

The 44mm size of the U1 turned me off. At that size, I could have purchased a Pam. The 41mm seems to be a better fit.

Got a question about your wrist size MWC it’s about the silicone strap from your U50 how many rubber parts have you cut ? Bebe got the black model U50 S steel bracelet etc. the part that fits in the “quick adjustment “ kind off.. how many “cuts have you made ? If you can please make a small video review showing the rubber/silicone strap with the clasp plus that latch quick adjustment if you can mate ! All the best to you and your channel! Lots of fun 🤩👍

Hi, i already own a 556i and plan to purchase a u50 for sure. Perfect review! Just one question please: i really want to buy these kind of sailcloth straps from artem too. Is it possible to use the "fat"-spring bars (1mm) or do I have to go for the quick-release bars? Or which of them fits better? Can you answer this, sir? Thanks!

Great comparison video Russell! Always nice to see Sinn content 👌 The U50 wins for me hands down! Mainly due to the size but also the indices and logo looking too small on the dial of the U1. The Artem sail cloth strap looks awesome on it aswell!

@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR Жыл бұрын

Yeah I'm with you James! Funny as I'm coming at it from having owned the U50 a year y'know and the U1 is the original daddy! But proportions wise the U50 just looks better doesn't it!

I found a reasonably priced 2nd hand of this U1, is it better than the Sinn 556i? I can get the U1 used for around 1,200$ and 1,700$ brand new for the 556i.

Remove the red markings on the bezel and it would be perfect. It's just an distraction.

Have you noticed if your tegimented clasp for the silicon strap is completely tegimented? Mine is tegimented only the external lid, but not the rest of the clasp which is not the case of mm y bracelet clasp that is completely tegimented.
