    Oh, no. I'll stick to my Bell&Ross by Sinn Space One (=Sinn 142) and my 103 St Plexy. An Arktis is to be bought yet and then enough for the time being. For a possible day-date 140 the acceptable price is still missing. Unfortunately I was sooooooo happy with the news about a new 140 but I will not order it.

    Totally agree on most points. But there are a few "up-s" for this new model too:

    1. I've never seen a watch with more scratch-magnet case than the 140/142 (I have one polished/brushed, so I write this with personal experience), so the Tegiment technology is the most useful on this Sinn ever.
    2. Using the ETA 7750 will allow to change the hour and minute hand and a wide veriety will be available, within the Sinn sortiment too (I always hated those frameless hands for looking very cheapish, either a polished or a white frame (see e. g. the 358 hands) look way nicer.

    The greatest "down" for the new 140 is the missing weekday feature. Without this I'll never buy this watch. But - as the basic caliber has the day-date feature - I strongly hope that the weekday window will soon appear on the new 140 too.
    I would prefer the all-black (non-limited) dial for the watch, and only the brushed/polished case is a candidate for buying.
    I simply cannot use the otherwise good-looking inner bezel of my 142 because the turning crown is so short (or flat, or depressed). I see on the CAD scans that the bezel turning crown on the new 140 will be a tad taller but something similar in size to the Sinn 900 turning crown would be nicer - it will turn out if they are interchangeable or not.
    Further down is the 100 m wr, I was hoping that this will be enhanced to 200 m, like the Sinn 900 Flieger. (Not that I would dive w/the watch but 200 m makes me more stay on the safe side...
    And I was hoping that the antimagnetism will be as high as 80.000 A/m, like again the 900 Flieger, as today many magnetic hazard is around the wristwatches.
    I do not know if the D3-system crown is screwdown or not and the D3-system pushers are usable underwater or not... both again just to be on the safe side. (Turning bezel may be used underwater, as I got to know from Sinn/FFM for my 142 earlier.)

    First I thought a "down" but now I think it being "neutral" that the minute counter is jumping, while that of the LWO 5100 was the sweeping one.

    About price: really the planned (?) RRP is extremely high, but they'll appear on the used watch market sooner or later. Other non-LWO5100 watches with central minute counter and turning bezel (both using different base movement) are the Breitling Skyracer and the Breguet Type XXI. RRP-s and used prices can and will be compared by every possible buyer, taking image and other factors into consideration too and Sinn hopefully also knows this...

    Best,

    BTW HNY o all!

    Vielleicht hat Jemand info an Sinn-Chronik site? Seit langem nicht erreichbar, hier steht "Das Nachschlagewerk für SINN-Uhren. (Achtung: Die SINN-Chronik ist derzeit leider inaktiv. Sie wird gegenwärtig überarbeitet und steht demnächst wieder zur Verfügung.)" aber seit nicht nur Gestern...
    Die website-Name ist jetzt zu verkaufen, wie dort geschrieben ist, aber was wirt mit die Text und schöne Fotos sein?
    Danke für die Antwort, Gruss
