  • Wann schaltet euer Datum um? Official Sinn date switch test

    Sorry for the English reply:
    I have every watch driven by ETA-Valjoux 7750 let with my watchmaker re-adjusted: so both the day and the date switch complete by around 02:00 AM.
    This makes me a few advantages:
    - though I usually go to sleep hours before midnight sometimes it takes a tad longer and I don't like to see partially moved discs.
    - this way "funcionally" I see and feel the passing day as one unit and do not have to think if I peep at my watch just before or after midnight.
    - I have two more hours for adjusting the calendar in the eveningtime, not until 20:00 but until 22:00 which is fine because I don't get home from work before 20:30 every other day.
    Sorry for being so long but in the last few decades :) this shifting of the calendar switch time proved to be extremely useful. Of course my watches that have a quick date change (e. g. my Breitling B01) change date at midnight sharp (better say within about half a minute before or after), not at 02:00 AM.
    Hope this may generate some "followers" :)
    Best,

  • Sinn 103 St plexy - an upgrade to screwdown pushers

    Dear Forum Mates,

    could someone with advanced Photoshop skills make a "mixture" of a 103 St plexy -mixed up with the screwdown pushers of the 103 St Sa? (possibly in unscrewed state of the pushers). I wonder how it would look as I'm playing with the idea of giving the middle part of the case to a very skilled watchmaker with perfect case working abilities too to enlarge the outer part of the pusher holes to take up the wider shoulders of the screwdown pushers (with maintaining the waterresistance of course as I do not dare to swim with this watch because of being afraid of an unwanted push of the chrono pusher). I hope if despite all the precautions everything would go wrong Sinn will replace the middle part - of course for a good amount of money. The other option would be to ask Sinn to perform this mod but I think they'd refuse to do this. (I have the screwdown pushers at home.)
    But anyway, first it would be good to see how it would look...

    Any kind help is welcome! Sorry for posting in English - on the other hand I understand German replies too.

    Best regards,
    Robert

  • Erfahrungsbericht Sinn 203 Arktis

    Ich hatte meine Arktis mit andere Sinn Zeigern (und Tudor Drückern) umbauen lassen um die Flieger-Look zu verstaerken (und Ich habe keine Love für die Rahmenlose Zeigern). Jetzt habe Ich die Uhr auf Originalzustand zurückgebaut. Ich werde nochmals die Zeiger-Umbau machen lassen (aber die Sinn-Drücker bleiben) darum finde Ich nicht nur schöner und eleganter aber viel Stilsicherer. (Natürlich meine Meinung nur.)
    Ide neue blaue 103 ist auch schön und hatte sie schwarze oder blaue Hilfzifferblaetter und aufwaertz-zaehlende Lünette würde Ich einen sofort kaufen. Aber die Arktis bleibt... :)

  • BaselWorld 2017 - Was gibt`s Neues ?

    Eine 358 mit count-up Drehlünette, eine 140 mit blaues ZB, Wochentag-Fenster und Stunden/Minutenzeiger mit weissem oder poliertem Umrandung. 103 St Sa mit count-up Lünette und auch ohne Argoncapsule-Öffnung. Stahlbander mit Doppeldrücker-system und schnelle Feinverstellung-System.
    Oooops, nur daydreaming... :(

    Zitat von selespeed

    Heute wieder mal die gute alte 103 St mit Acryl und überschwerem Sekundenstopper :D

    Where could I get the very same bezel for my 103 St plexy? The edge of this one seems much better for grabbing and turning, the only concern of mine (present style of bezel edge) is that I cannot grab it well enough thus turning is hard, e. g. when things are wet. (Bezel spring does not have too large resistance, so that's not the problem.)
    Thanks a lot!
