New Sinn 103 St
Discussion
I wanted to get a decent mechanical chrono to keep and narrowed it down to a Sinn 103 a long time ago - finally got round to buying it.
This is the St model, with high domed acrylic glass and anodised friction pilot's bezel.
I love it - perfect size for me (41 mm diameter) and the acrylic is absolutely gorgeous. I've only owned sapphire glass dive watches previously and I was initially concerned about the scratch potential of acrylic. However, the depth and distortion effect is well worth having to polywatch it occasionally. Overall it has a vintage look (without being too contrived) but with reliable mechanicals (Valjoux 7750). A leather strap dresses it up and it goes under a cuff easily (most of the 15.5 mm height is the domed acrylic).

They look incredibly awkward on you - I can't tell if your wrists are too small for them or if you're just wearing them slightly unusually distal.
Be sure to let me know if you manage to come to a conclusion. I'll wait with bated breath.
rather than anything wrong with the watch ... or wrist
