Wish there were more Sinn in stores. Would love to try on before committing to an online purchase.

I'm a big fan of almost everything Sinn does.

The salmon version of the 356 has been on my list for a while. It’s a stunner and has crazy details on the dial.

Absolutely love this, love how they have been able to fit the Chronograph without cutting the numbers … 38.5 mm is lovely

"a tube of something when i rub one out with my watch?"

Another German chrono but with tremendous history is the Hanhart 417ES 39mm Flyback.

Wearing the 3 subdial 356 w/ acrylic crystal right now. By the way, you can get still get the “old” style w/ acrylic crystal and blasted finish as well as satin finish with sapphire crystal and the fine link bracelet.

Hi Max, You mentioned that the new Sinn 356 as an alternative to the Navitimer. However, Sinn has true alternative to the Navitimer which is the 903. It would be nice to see a review on the latest Sinn 903.

Picked up my Railmaster on Delray as well. The experience was good & I’m gathering funds for another purchase, hopefully soon. Not trying to “promote” or anything but the incoming stock is becoming more plentiful & the prices are great. Glad he’s finding success.

I love Sinn. Started with the 104 white dial. Had the 103 Klassik 12. Currently have a U50 S BS and 155 S Bright Star Bundeswehr, love them both! I've considered the white panda dial 356 Klassik, really looks good. Im glad they finally uodated their clasp with yool free micro-adjust. You can buy separately or upgrade on a new watch purchase for certain bracelet models. They're slowly becoming standard to their watches.

2:22 “rub one…” WAT!?!

As a fan of this channel and fan of Sinn - in my view a real fan is one that actually rises possible issues so that the brands can improve themselves - i added a comment earlier about issues with my own 356 (purchased with my own money) issues like counters not resetting, others having the hands falling off inside the watch, very long waiting times for servicing, etc. I don't see it anymore, was it deleted?

I sold my Omega Reduced and got myself the Sinn 356 SA with sapphire crystal and see through case back. Such a joyful experience!!!

Sinn is a great German watchmaker that nails it in every segment. Great value for money. If you are seeking for the better Navitimer check out the Sinn 903 …

I love Sinn, especially the 104 st sa GMT but when it comes to Fleigers, Fortis has my heart and is what I flew with but I love much of what the German's build, guns, watches, cars. Thanks for sharing!

At least they were both mechanical…..no “24 hr” dial 🤮. The older Sinn with 38.5 mm diameter…..Wow! I was a SAR pilot when I was young. Those 12 hr. totalizers were there for a reason. Fine review Max. Thanks!

There is also the „normal“ 356sa which has the 12,6,9 configuration and ist completely brushed with a sapphire crystal. Perfect combination. Has been my daily watch for nearly 3 years now.

im sure being a German fighter pilot watch incarnation its more like chilling out in the pampas of Argentina or the jungle of Brazil rather than a jazz club in the city.

I love the 356 original worn it for a couple years now. You describe it just right!

There's also another alternative of Sinn 356 if you have tight budget, Seiko Sna139. In my opinion Sna139 is even better in the term of price point to value due to titanium material

As a Swiss I love Sinn. I own a diver U1. A real beauty.

I like the Sinn, but look at the Damasko DC57 and DC56 on the bracelet. Outstanding!

Cool watches, new and old. Wish they would have kept the date on the new one, and the old brass/gold rotor on the movements, but time moves on. Probably would go for the older one before the new one, but really like em both regardless. Thanks!

The Sinn Navitimer is my favorite new Sinn!

Sinn’s more inexpensive alternative to the Navitimer is the 903, slightly changed for this year (no crown @ 10:30). I have the previous version, love it!

I have the 856 UTC. Fantastic watch, abysmal clasp and zero on the fly adjustment.

I'm wearing my Sinn EZM 13.1 as I watch this. Great lefty watch.

I have been looking at Sinn for quite a while but cannot get past the thickness on most of their models.

The 356 Sa already feels a bit more 'refined' (whatever that means) in that it has a brushed case as opposed to the blasted case of the acrylic version.

I tried on the Klassic Fleiger recently. It is excellent in the metal. I’m tending towards a Hanhart (which really should get a lot more love from enthusiasts), but it’s a coin toss between the 2.

Hello WatchCrunch and other viewers! Any opinions comparing between Sinn 356 and Omega 3220.50?

Sinn only makes a couple things that appeal to me. The 556 I RS, which I honestly don't know why I haven't bought yet, and that new 903. I love the Navitimer B01, but not $10,000 worth. Plus it's a little too pretty/shinny for me. The 903 solves both of those problems, I think. The lugs are a little thicker and the crown is longer, making it look less delicate. And at around $4000 on the fine link bracelet, I'm sold.

Max, very good episode! Sinn Marks great watches. I have my 144 Ti from almost 20 years and it is perfect EDC for people who prefer chronographs. I have 356 on my radar, but new 903 change a bit my interest 😉

congratulations on your new watch ;-) To my eye there is more IWC in it than Speedy … cool watch anyway.

Never been a Sinn fan I do adore German watches but for some reason the brand never appealed to me…that is until now. That Chrono is absolutely gorgeous.

I own a Sinn 556irs. It fits my 7.25 in wrist like a glove. It gets a lot of wristime because its so versatile.

Sinn makes this in a sapphire crystal variant. I wish this model had the d3 waterproof pushers, then it would be perfect.

Not my preference aesthetically, but the 130 looks a lot like the IWC Pilot Chrono, which I recently saw in person and it looked awesome.

Sinn has its own navitimer already the 903 as it bought the IP off a bankrupt Breitling in the 1970s. Ive Owned a sinn 756 for nearly a decade now and it still gets regular wrist time despite a growing watch collection

Congrats Max!! I was looking at that exact watch at Del Ray, it certainly was a good buy!! Enjoy!!

“Rub one out with my watch.”😂 Well, who hasn’t?

Love the speedy! However I cant wait for the video you make when getting the IWC ingenieur, love that watch, especially the aqua dial!

The 903 is Sinn's Navitimer. They have the trademark (shared with Breitling). I have the ezm10 and I love it. In fact... I love German pilot chronos more than Swiss. Damasko, sinn, tutima, hanhart. I have 'm. The 356 is great, but the 103. Oh boy... ❤❤

Max, fantastic video and I love that you supported Federico. I also avoided the "historical" route and went Breitling B09 Pistachio over the speedy. Adds a splash of color and may not have gone to space, but sure gets a lot of compliments. Also, I like George Kern.

The new 356 ticks all the boxes for me. It's definitely on the short list for my next purchase.

Thanks for this video! I LOVE my Sinn 556 (my beater). Looks great, amazing movement considering the price (+1-3 secs/day), and fits perfectly on my small wrist. I loved the anniversary editions of the 356 ever since their first announcement, but could not get over the 15mm (sapphire) thickness, so I continue to hold off. If you notice, from day 1, 99.9% photos that are released are top view because Sinn knows 15-15.5mm is silly. But if they know, do something about it instead of hide it.

These are the first Sinns I’ve liked. They always falling into the “I just don’t get it” category for me, but these are hot.

Been saying this for years. Watch was my grail for years. Got one used for a crazy value. It’s literally perfect

About to get a Helm Vanuatu which is a diver inspired by Sinn. Very excited.

Sinn just released the new 903 a few weeks ago and that's truly the Navitimer alternative.

Been eyeing the 356 for a while. Almost pulled the trigger on a copper dial last year but like you was nervous with the 15.5mm height. Thanks for the review.

Great video. Lovely watches. I actually prefer the older one. It’s great. I think my favourite they do is the astronaut chrono is it the 140 something or other? Love that watch

Beautiful watch with overall great specs. If they went hand-wound with this, and shaved a mil or more off the thickness, that would be a real winner in my book.

these two Sinn are wonderful looking

tbh, if you would go for a navitimer than you would have the option to go for the sinn 903 ST 2

Awesome watch. Nice score. I like the older Sinn personally. Side note, what shirt/jacket is that? I love it.

Huge fan of the Sinn 356

Sinn make some fantastic watches!! I do wish they spend a bit more time updating their clasps and adding a nice on-the-fly macro adj clasp though.

Looks good on that zero pass strap.

I concur, but it's a 358 for me same as above at 42mm instead.

I also recommend the Hanhart 417es

Excellent presenter, thank you.

Hi Max: After watching your video on the 556a, I'm learning towards buying this model. However, the 356 is growing on me. Since you owned both, which one do you like better (556a or 356)? Thanks!

IWC pilot chrono vibes!

People who think they get history with a brandnew watch, seriously need to get away from all this marketing. Those Sinns look great, I would like to have either of them.

I'm loving Sinn

Beautiful Watches!

SINN are amazing

Sinn = The Rolex of Beaters!

What is this Delray store? can they ship to Canada? I think you've convinced me regarding the Sinn

I truly think German watch making is going to grow exponentially in the coming decade, Sinn will benefit

mamacoo is best watch factory!!!

love Sinn

If they shaves some thrickness with the router off and manual wind. It would be more of an all time watch!!

What shirt/jacket shacket is that?

Good discussion of the SINN. However, your title is misleading, I nearly did not open your video because the title is so vague.

The Sinn 900 Pilot is an objectively better watch than the SpeedMaster (IMHO) and can be purchased for under $4300 NIB. Just compare the specs. 20 bar WR, Tegiment, AR sealed and heavily anti-magnetic.

The lack of in house movement is an off the table factor for many people

the Sinn 903 II is even better

The speedmaster you showed at 0:11, How did you get the 3861 SS Bracelet o fit the trilogy reissue ? Or does it go straight on ?

Great watch, but i prefer the Hanhart Pioneer. Cheers

On the radar AND the wrist.

Wait are you the guy trying to re-invent the NATO strap what are you hustling now lol

Did you buy it from Fed personally??

More of a great type 20 or iwc replacement speedmaster is a different vibe

It’s at the same price point as the reduce used speedy… idk which one I like more

Sinn is Great 😀

Has really nothing to do with a speedmaster. It looks like an Iwc chrono from the 90’s ( really close actually ) comparing the second one to a breitling ? Not really. Do you know that sinn used to build navitimers

The older Sinn looks alot like the Tutima pilots watches.

I really want to see the panda in the metal.

Rub one out. 😂

I want a 903!

It's thick

Antricite ruins it for me. Bracelet - great step-up. Envelope could use a modern look. Otherwise a great watch.

It’s not a $2000 speedmaster. It’s a Sinn. Not every watch is a cheaper version of something else. And it looks more like an IWC anyway

The sinn I like is double the price.

I think you missed Fortis in your list

An evening at the jazz club?

glad i'm not the only one who likes rubbing one out with my watch

😂 rub one out¿ With your watch?? Aaaaayyoooo 😂
