What "reverse printing" do you mean? They use the same date and weekday discs, regardless the way they turn the movement. It does not matter at all whether they cut the hole for the weekday into the dial at 3 or 9 o'clock.

Just look here: http://www.sinn.de/Modell/917.htm (also available in English)
It says clearly: "Zusatzoption Englischer Wochentag: 0,00 €" Optional feature Days of week in English: 0,00 €)

HappyDay989: Excuse me for my possible stupidity but though I see the whole Sinn website and the detailed 917 desciption in English too but I could not find that's written that Sinn offers the 917 with an English weekday too - not even by clicking on the link you've placed here. And yes, if you save the scan of any "normal" 7750 and rotate the scan by 180 grades you'll see the weekday upside down. So when you rotate the movement and don't open the weekday (and date) window on the other side you have to print an upside down weekday (and date) disc. Ther is a kind of Fortis B-42 where the movement is not turned but they've opened the weekday window at the left to the center hands and they also needed an upside down weekday disc. So either I could convince you or I need further clarification - written in German is fine with me only my poor German grammar makes me write in English.

@ Robertusz: English weekdays are an option free of charge for all SINN watches fitted with the ubiquitous Valjoux 7750 movement. You just have to let SINN know upon order placement that you wish to have the English weekday disc instead of the German one.

Yes, but - according to my best knowledge - this is the very first Sinn with VJ 7750 and reverse printing of the weekday. So it only remains to be seen wether they will have the English option with a reverse printing too. I've all of my Sinns with English day, though I speak German too - because my English is way better.

I wish:
- black dial with Luminova numerals and Luminova hands
- count-up lunette (maybe from ref. 900)
- Tegimented case and bracelet, solid steel case-back
- alternatively the very same in 41.5 mm (the size of the ref. 956)
- English week-day.

Similar result from the other side: 900 Flieger with day-date instead of 2nd time zone. Maybe a bit smaller and thinner hour markings on the dial (something like on the Hummer version - and the seconds circle in white wouldn't disturb me either). Both versions for both watches: righty and lefty... 41.5 mm size too.

Any input in connection with these suggestions?

Dear Forumners!

I could not trace two main points of the Sinn 142 production:

1. when was sapphyre glass (inside AR coated) introduced after mineral glass?

2. When was screw-down crown introduced after non-screw-down crown?

I have catalogs only from 1994 and later so I do not know: looking for a brushed/polished 142 St with sapphyre glass and screw-down crown, wanna know which years to look after? (End of brushed/polished case production is known for me, so it is not a question).

Thanks for any kind input, also a copy (scan) of the UM test about the 142 St is welcome! (I think cca. year 1991).

Best regards:

German reply is also welcome!!!
