Back in December it was my 40th birthday.
Being a watch fan, I picked out a nice example and suggested to wife as a great gift idea. Fast forward several months the watch never came to fruition. There was much wasted time but at least all money was recovered.
So in early June, I started looking for a different watch gift idea. I found it in the Sinn 856 UTC. Hopefully next week or the week after I will receive and begin to enjoy it.
The image above shows a rubber bracelet. Mine is coming in the steel bracelet. I additionally ordered a Sinn Black Leather band to go with it. I don’t like normal buckle-style clasps but instead prefer deployment-style clasps.
In the U.S.A., Sinn’s only authorized dealer is WatchBuys. Unfortunately, the Sinn deployment clasp that matches the watch’s style is out of stock. I found a nice alternative on eBay for $18. The Sinn clasp is $90 for no reason I can imagine. WatchBuys does give you “points” for purchases so if I chose to get the Sinn clasp when it’s back in stock I’ll have a $40 credit to leverage.
I’m excited. Hopefully I’ll have a follow-up post soon with some images of my watch.
Update. Check out my baby!
