    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

    I think it was only the special blue outside box,with handwritten serial-no. on it
    (I have one box of them from our "Forum-Father Markus Zorg"),
    so I think the watch itselve ist a normale one,
    maybe the titanium version? is much rarer than 1000 pcs. I think? :pinch:
    but I am not absolutly shure...
    Is there any other difference? :cl:

    Thx Stefan for your reply,
    I've also seen the titanium version on the web but now the steel version is talked about. You make me more sure that the watch itself is not a limited one, only the paper box :) that is exactly what I saw on the scan but did not really believe my eyes :) So no premium price to be paid for this watch on the used market... as I'm after a pre-loved Arktis for quite a while but still hunting for the best price/quality ratio piece.

    Once upon a time there was a limited edition of the Sinn 203 Arktis, a run of 1000 pieces. As I've just seen on on the web, I have some questions in connection with it:

    - when was this limited edition actually produced?
    - is it possible that the number of the limited series (e. g. XXX/1000) was marked only on the box and not on the case back?
    - what is the difference (if any) between this edition and the "street version"?
    - is the dial already with Superluminova or still Tritium? (earliest Arktis watches might still use Tritium, though I'm not sure about this)

    Thanks in advance! Regards,
    Robert

    Hi Stephan

    thx for chiming in. Both of us are waiting your watch back :) my wrist is about the same size, so measuring the weight of your Arktis on the imbus-bracelet is more than enough for me... hoping to get an Arktis myself sooner or later...

    Hey Robert?

    Can't help you without owning the watch and even
    if I did I wouldn't deconstruct the whole bracelet.

    Com'on man, you don't really need the weight
    down to the last dot and comma?? :p:

    No, it's not a question of life or death :) Just wanted to know what weight should I count and should I go for the most recent bracelet or stick to the previous one that I own. I'm quite sensible on weight and my 103 St sexy-plexy on the 5-row bracelet is just perfect with its 141-142 gramms. I didn't expect anyone to disassamble the bracelet but lengths could accidentally fit or the separate weight of a disassambled link could be discounted. Anyhow, thx for taking your time to reply!

    So anyone else having an even more ;) accurate data is highly welcome to chime in.

    BTW I'm fine with German replies as well but my poor grammar in German makes me prefer English when writing.

    Best regads,

    Mates,

    I'd be grateful to know the exact weight of the Arktis on bracelet, both on the newest "Imbusschlüssel" bracelet and the preceding, thinner, "normal-screws" bracelet with solid end links. I have cca. 6.75" wrist so my bracelet will use altogether 10 links + clasp + end links, so if possible the weight of this outfit would be interesting to know.
    Please do not give me factory data from catalogs because they are controversial and bracelet weight data is only approximate and shows full length bracelet weight.

    Thank you for your help in advance!

    Hmmm, kauf dir lieber eine einfache 103 St ohne verschraubte oder geschütze Drücker, mit Plexi und Stahlboden. Die ist wirklich viel flacher und wirkt filigraner (Gehäuse fast identisch mit den Sixties-Modellen).

    Nur das Zifferblatt ist eben moderner (in der heutigen Form erstmals aufgetaucht in einer Orfina im Jahr 1975 wie ich hier erfahren durfte).

    Die neue dicke 103 Klassik wirkt nicht wirklich klassisch auf mich. Nur fett und teuer.

    Bernd

    Totally agreed. My 103 plexi is one of my daily beaters and looks very, very classic, the most direct offspring of the mentioned Mathey Tissot/JLC/Breguet/Heuer/Sinn models. Only small personalizations were needed...
    Best,
    Robert

    Exakt so wie ich vermutet hatte :D ...

    BREGUET verzichtet auf den 12 Stunden-Totalisator zugunsten von arabischen Ziffern. Bei der LE COULTRE sind die Zeiger für die Zeit schlecht ablesbar. Die SINN ist die schönste :thumbup: !

    I always have the suspition that all these models with the very same case and base movement with only minor variations were produced in the very same factory according to the various wishes of the different brands, like Breguet, LeCoultre, and Heuer (Autavia ref. 2446). Two facts occur to my mind: one is that the now very expensive Rolex Killy was produced in its time by Heuer for Rolex, while the Montreal and similar Heuer models were produced in the seventies by Arola for Heuer (and for Longines, etc.)
    Does anyone here have any good, proved info on the issue with these 103-like Fliegers? It would further enhance the value of the early Sinn 103-s too... unfortunately I'm still to purchase one so I'm on the wrong side of the door...

    I think 1966 is the start with the Sinn 103.
    Only a pair was made with the Valjoux 72 without gravur on the bridge.
    The next Sinn 103 has the 726 higher beat movement.
    Regards Lars

    Lars,

    thx a lot for your input! I was after this information for quite a while but I could find an proved info nowhere. According to my preference the 103 series with this very case and lug design is the most "heritage-like" or iconic Sinn, having the way longest in-production time and (beside the 140/142) the closest to the original Helmut Sinn factory philosophy. PM to be sent soon.
    For cca. one year I've been owning the watch that is the closest off-spring of this iconic model: the 103 St with acrylic crystal.
    Best,
    Robert

    Hallo,
    ja sorry,hier funzt es aber :
    http://uhrforum.de/sinn-103a-aus-…473#post1396567

    Danke,Gruss Lars

    Fantastisch! Echt klassiker ist sie!
    Jemand weisst seit wann Sinn hat die 103 mit dem gleichem Gehauseform im Programm? Diese ist aus 1966 (wie weisst man das?) 1961 (mein Geburtsjahr) ist die Gründungsjahr, so die Zeit-Entfernung zwischen diese zwei Daten. BTW die geiche Gehauseform mit Valjoux 72 war erhaeltlich auch bei Breguet, Heuer, JLC und vielleicht andere Hersteller. Und es ist nicht ganz unmöglich dass diese Herteller haben diese Uhr von die selbe wirkliche Hersteller gekauft hatten (einige haben e. g. die selbe Kronenmuster... natürlich Personalisierungen waren möglich, wie Stadtnamen-Lünett, 24h Lünett und -Zeiger, etc. Elegante Verwandschaft... :)
    Gruss,
    Robert

    A antimagnetic inner case puts 1mm on top of the heigth of a watch without.
    However - it doesn't look good on the 140 :S

    We'll probably have to wait a long time till the presented models will be deliverd.
    Don't want to imagine how long it might take to get some other versions :zzz:

    :schade:

    aber hoffen dürft man immer...
