Sinn make a nice little range of watches for those who like to think paying through the nose for a 'boutique' brand is providing them with something special.
Not sure if you are for or against from that post.Whilst prices gave certainly risen -circa 8 to 10 years ago they were underpriced, I think compared to many brands their prices are not bad. OK they use mostly bought in movements as the base for most of their stuff, but they have lots of innovative features in several models - Argon filling, the oil filled UX, tegimented steel and Diapal off the top of my head.
On all the watch fora I frequent, they are without question one of the best respected brands, but of course they won't appeal to everyone.

Neither for nor against, they make some lovely £300-£400 watches and flog them for a huge German premium. If Seiko charged the same for such middle of the road fare they'd be laughed out of business.Whilst prices gave certainly risen -circa 8 to 10 years ago they were underpriced, I think compared to many brands their prices are not bad.

I have a U1 SDR and definitely don't think it was overpriced, the opposite in fact. What £300-£400 watch is comparable?Stinkotanko said:
£1400-ish for a bog standard ETA clone in a visually challenging package?
You're right, there's nothing else out there quite like the U1.
Two months on the forum.You're right, there's nothing else out there quite like the U1.
Congratulations, I dont think anyone else has managed to achieve quite such an agressive blend of self-opinionated overly critical downright rudeness in such a short time. Keep it up, you'll go far.
(I know, you call it as you see it. Me too. See above.)

Coming from someone that thinks Sinn can somehow charge a huge premium despite the fact that most people have never heard of them ..You're right, there's nothing else out there quite like the U1.

Let's not feed the troll
Why do people troll? Its perfectly possible to post an opinion in a reasoned way without sounding like a deliberately antagonistic jerk. For every one person that reacts to a troll, ten others read the post, think something derogatory about the troll and simply get on with life.Why would anyone deliberately make themselves out to be an aggressive idiot?
I genuinely don't understand.

The troll label is one too easy for people to throw out when they have no counter to the points made. It's more a reflection on you than me.

I don't care that your view is different, however well informed it may be. You've ignored the points I made about some of the technology employed in Sinn's watches. If you don't like them, that's fine / your loss. Plenty of happy Sinn owners do like them.

What is the fascination on this forum with length of service? Did you not exist before you signed up to Pistonheads? Stinkotanko said:

As it happens, I don't think you're a Troll - leastways not a very good one - just an ill-mannered person.
