You are talking about this one, right? If so, I've planted the seed for the wife, but it would be her present to me for our 10 year coming up, which means, well, married guys know...


Man, if this ends up happening I may have to do something similar. My 15th is only a few years away.

That watch looks great.

Hands will be black. I think we should use C1 lume, as it is the closest to white, in daylight. Sinn pointed out that it will be far less bright, at night, than C3.

So, looking for input.

I would try to get the closest to white if we can. I don't care about lume as much as maybe some others.

Those were my thoughts as well. These are the available lume colors from Sinn. Daylight on the left, night time on the right.

I'd ask them specifically about BGW9 just in case that is an older card and if it's unavailable then I'm fine with C1 (although "rot hell" would be fun just for the name). For reference, it does look like they use C3 on their standard white face and the green tint is pretty noticeable. Would be even more so with the Arabic numerals I think.

Yes, their standard is C3 - didn't like it.

Haven't gotten a price yet, but should be ~$1500 on a strap, ~$1800 on a bracelet. Extra $90 if we have Gig 'Em engraved on the rotor.

Just saw your post on "watchuseek". I have a recent Sinn 104 similar to the one you pictured. The Sinn 104 has the bi directional count down bezel which enhances it's functionality and is not common.
The color image in your example is great. With a 6.5" wrist, the 104 is the largest I would consider (41mm x 11.5mm). Most folks seem to prefer larger dimensions.
So far, I'm in.

Waiting on Sinn to send back an "official" rendering, then we will get a private login page on watch buys to pay for them, and once enough are paid for, they get scheduled for production - overall, about 12-18 months out.

What happens if we don't get enough interest to buy them? Do they refund at some point.

Yes. I think we sign up first, before we pay.

The Omega is a 42mm $6000+ watch, xxxmm thick. The Sinn is not a luxury brand but is a highly respected professional watch, 41mm wide, 11.9mm thick, costing about $1500 with a non metal strap.
Colors can be tweeked.

Yeah…. That I should "expect a rendering in 2022," so not exactly jumping at the chance for new business.

Patience, Ags. I think they liked it so much they are stalling while they incorporate into their standard 2022 offerings. Look for it to debut at Baselworld in April. In 2-3 years, that color palate will be the new "blue face" that everyone has to offer and you can get something similar from pretty much anyone you want.

Christopher Ward does custom packages - 25 units minimum. I just noticed it on their site...

Yea id be way more interested in a Christopher ward than the sinn, but not interested in a white face. I think you would get a handful of orders from the houston thread if you went Christopher ward.

Checking back in on this thread. I think the Sinn looks the cleanest. I hope they respond *soon*!
