That’s a beauty. Nice size, too.

Really nice, but a little busy. Would be a little quieter without the minute markers but still a great looking watch.

I’m guessing the arrow tipped hand is the GMT hand, but without a scale I’m not certain how useful it is.

I don’t disagree. It seems like a “feature” without much value as it has been designed.

Isn’t that a 12 hour based second time zone hand? Or am I misunderstanding how this one works?

That looks great. Takes me back to the older Sinn look and lineup.

Just afraid of the price tag

Yes
So the hand circles the dial twice per a 24 hour period?

If so, this would be interesting. Given the GMT hand is run off the day gear of the 7750, I'm guessing Sinn must modify the gear train to make this happen.

Is the date change connected to the 24 hour hand, or the hour hand?

Guessing the date is connected to the hour hand rather than to the 2nd time zone.

wow - that is smokin' hot

From a guy who travels a lot, these types of GMT displays are much better than the traditional. By the time I figure out what the GMT hand is saying on the other ones, my tiny brain has already figured out the Delta with my home time zone so it effectively makes the GMT complication moot.

Love it when you can just glance at the watch..

The ST SA on bracelet (non-diapal, non GMT) is $2500, although it's sold out.

This one will be pricey

Is this a new model? I see postings online about this watch going back to March of this year, but mostly from Europe, Australia, etc. Maybe it's not available in North America.

I don't mean to derail this thread, but I'd love to own the 103 Zeit edition.

Titanium and a little less busy than the 144.

Maybe new.

Before posting, I went to Sinn site; it was set up to select strap, but not able to add to basket. Not looking to buy, just curious about price.

I’m kinda the other way - maybe I was dropped on my head as a child :shrug: :lol:

I like having the semicircle of color and the 24 hour GMT hand so at a glance I can (A) know if I can call home without waking anyone and (B) know whether I’m saying “good morning” or “good night” or “how was school today?” I use it as more or less a general guide to the remote time rather than an exact science.

For example, this one works well for my simpleton brain.

Also, a lot of folks have to document against UTC in the 24 hour format, so it works well for that purpose (until you get old and rickety like me and have to squint to see the tiny numbers).

The Sinn is still a cool watch though.

There are used ones for sale on Chrono24 so it doesn't appear to be a new model. It's listed on Sinn's official site but not on the Watchbuys site so I suspect it's an existing model that isn't available in NA.

It appears to be somewhere in the $3600 range on strap.

I’m sure WatchBuys would order one of it is available.
