Sinn 556

Post by big-e-294 » 18 Oct 2011 17:32

anyone own the Sinn 556?
i quite like the simplicity, but wondering what is the best price for a preowned piece... or best price for a new piece?

is it even worth getting? :?:

I think shouldn't be more than what i paid for the 656 from jwwatch (S$950 exc gst) recently. :)

BN prob cost under 1.4k

Was also checking out this model but decided it's kinda too small for my liking ;)

But it's a nice watch nonetheless

So a preowned one can be less than 1k.
Worth considering. :twisted:

I'd have to agree with that. I have owned Sinn, and while some of their pieces are iconic in both design, material, and movement used, majority are mediocre. I limited myself to these two because one arguably led the Sinn renaissance, while the other was picked up for the SInn/L5100 combo. I'd save the 556 money and gun for a future MM300.

have you tried on the actual watch?

best you try one :lol:

personally now, i will weigh the question of spending this $ on a movt. Unless you can get a preowned piece at a very good price, then it's worth it.

if not, it's still jiak branding ;)

No problem..... it is hard not to sway.... try quench your thirst along the way by getting one/two small hoots like g-shock and stay focus! ;)
