The likely reason U1Pros were flipped is size / weight, but that won’t be an issue here.

Re: Sinn U50 Pro!
I’m torn on the explorer. The old 36mm is slightly better looking IMO but the new one is way nicer and probably cheaper from an AD. Unfortunately the nearest AD is two hours away so it’s probably impossible to source one story retail.jswing wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 9:27 amJust messing with you. That's a nice list.

Re: Sinn U50 Pro!
I never did get the new one. I'm still on "the list". One of the ADs I requested it from actually contacted me in January to make sure I was still interested. I said yes, hoping they had one but no, she was just checking to see if I wanted to stay on the list.

Re: Sinn U50 Pro!
It might be a good time to get on an AD list for a new Explorer. I've been noticing the gray/secondhand prices on the 36mm Explorers coming down in the past few weeks (both the older version and the new version). Prices on a lot of Rolex models are dropping right now, but the Explorer has been particularly noticeable to me. If I had to guess, I'd bet that a lot of people still think 36mm is too small. So there may be more AD availability if the gray dealers become less interested.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Fri May 27, 2022 9:34 amI’m torn on the explorer.

Ben tried to “build a relationship” with 15 different AD’s and no luck. I told him next time he should mention wanting to buy a watch.
Re: Sinn U50 Pro!
I was a bit undecided, but I finally decided to grab one of the last 5 remaining. (now just 3 left - 2 gone in the last few minutes)
I guess this is last call.
