Dann antworte ich mal auf Deutsch, das macht es für die meißten Leser vermutlich einfacher

Zum Band konnte ich noch nichts herausfinden, ich habe Sinn eben eine Anfrage gestellt und werde das Ergebnis dann sofort hier mitteilen.

Von der 140 A sind bereits Exemplare verkauft worden. Einer der ersten Besitzer der Uhr war sich allerdings nicht sicher, ob das Band passt, weil das Gehäuse insgesamt komplett überarbeitet wurde, also beispielsweise die neue Innenlünette so nicht mehr in die alten Gehäuse passt. Genaueres dann wie gesagt aber sobald ich eine Rückmeldung von Sinn habe.

Ich denke das neue Band, gerade das satinierte/gebürstete der 140 A wird für viele interessant sein, weil es mit dem BAnd der 144 zwar einen guten Neuersatz für die alten 157er mit ihrem 20mm Anstoß gibt, aber eben aktuell keines für die 22mm Gehäuse der alten 104/142er.

Danke für deine Antwort, Ich (auch...) warte auf die Neumeldungen.
Gruss,
Robert

[Eine Frage: Weiß jemand, ob das tegimentiere Stahlband für die neue 140 A an das Gehäuse der originalen 142 passt?]

Not yet! But as the bracelet hasn't got fitted ends for a curved case I'd act on the assumption that it fits. Neverthelesse they might have changed it - e.g. made it thicker so that it doesn't fit into the case lug of the old Lemania versions. Moreover you shouldn't forget that tegimented material changes the color. It has been hard in the past to find bracelets which colours match the ones of the tegimented U2 bezel. I can't imagine that an old 142/140 and a new tegimented steel-bracelet match each others tone.

[Bisher nicht! Da das Armband aber keine auf das Gehäuse angepassten runden Entstücke hat, würde ich annehmen, dass es passt. Trotzdem könnte es sein, dass das neue Band geändert, z.B. dicker gemacht wurde und es deshalb nicht mehr in den Spalt am alten 142er Gehäuse passt. Darüber hinaus solltest Du nicht vergessen, dass die Tegimentierung die Farbe verändert. In der Vergangenheit war es teilweise schwer Stahlbänder zu finden, dessen Farbton zur tegimentierten Lünette der U2 gepasst hat. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen, dass eine alte 142/140 und ein neues tegimentieres Stahlband den selben Farbton haben.]

Thanks for your reply! I hope color shade difference is minimal in case of the polished/brushed surfaces, I think (and hope) that the sandblasted surface colors might differ a bit more.
I've already seen on another Forum the limited 140A on matching steel bracelet so I think the bracelet is already available - if I'm right.
I'd go for the new bracelet because of the possible desk-diving scratches on the bracelet (mainly on the clasp), because of the greater stability of the newer bracelet and because of the better weight disttribution of the watch head/bracelet. I can tolerate a tad of color difference, my main issue is the fitting chance.
I'm fine with German replies, only my poor German grammar make me write in English.
Best,
Robert

Danke für Deine Antwort! Ich hoffe der Farbton unterscheidet sich bei den polierten/gebürsteten Oberflächen nur minimal, Ich denke (und hoffe) dass die gestrahlten Oberflächen größere Farbunterschiede haben. Ich habe in einem anderen Forum bereits die limitierte 140A am passenden Stahlband gesehen, denke also dass dieses bereits verfügbar ist.
Ich würde das neue Band wegen der möglichen Schreibtisch-Tauch Spuren an am Band (hauptsächlich auf der Schließe) nehmen, wegen der größeren Stabilität des neuen Bandes und aufgrund des besseren Gewichtsverhältnisses von Band und (Gehäuse-)kopf. Eine gewisse Farbabweichung kann ich hinnehmen, mein Hauptaspekt ist die Kompatibilität mit dem alten Gehäuse.]

I hope Sinn ingenieurs will find out how to add a weekday indicator to the modified 7750 in the 140 A - surely a polished/brushed case piece with all-black dial will come home with me.

BTW a question: anyone having experience if the tegimented steel bracelet for the 140 A can be used with the original 142 case?

I'd be very happy if Sinn would produce the new 140A (brushed/polished case for me!) with the "normal" ETA-Valjoux 7750 inside! According to my knowledge Sinn is short of the SZ01 and thus could sell more watches of this classic 142 design.

For me it would be good, because:
1. the watch could be way less expensive
2. would have the important weekday feature
3. maybe with a small re-design the case could be thinner (again according to my informations the SZ01 is thicker than the street version) but the very same case with the very same height is fine too, if the "red pencil" wouldn't let the thinner case be produced.

To have this classic design without a central minute counter could be a sacrilegium, but it is not, because:
1. back in the seventies Lemania produced similar cases with the HW Lemania movement with tricompax subdials, e. g. Longines
2. Sinn produced watches with the classic LWO5100-driven 156 design 7750-watches too (both the 256 and the 155 Manufactum)

Robert

Dear Forumners, watchmaker experts!

Is it easily possible to take the "Flyback watch parts" out of the 7750 Flyback and put the Flyback complication into an other 7750, or are there some major modifications on the main parts of the 7750 (e. g. main plate, etc.) that makes this "transplantation" impossible? (German replies are welcome too!)

Thx, regards:
Robert

Does anyone know what has happened to this bid?:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/2513627220…984.m1423.l2649

Original termination was in the eveningtime on 13-10-30. I wanted to bid and thus I wanted to check how the bid goes one day earlier but the bid was already over (Beendet). What can I do in the future not to pass such auctions? I've asked the seller on the bay but no reply yet.
Thx, Robert

Edit: no need to reply, I've found the reason of earlier termination :
"Dieses Angebot wurde vom Verkäufer beendet, da der Artikel beschädigt wurde oder verloren ging."

But anyway, this is strange...
Best,
Robert

Zitat von Roadsternet

Die Zeiger der 103 Serie leuchten heller und länger als bei der 756/757 Serie ist halt c3 zu c1 Luminova.
Richtig gut kommt in der 103 die Zeiger der Neuen 358 es wird dann von der Spitze ca.1,2mm Abgekniffen.
Das ist auch der Ultimative Umrüsttip für die Besitzer der 155 Manufactum Uhr,sind dort eh zu kurz.

Aber eigentlich sind die 103 Zeiger perfekt.Sehr hohe Ablesbarkeit dr Uhrzeit aber trotzdem eine minimale
Überlappung der Hilfszifferblätter.

Die erste "moderne" 103 war übrigens ca.1975 die Orfina vom entliehenden Foto ;o)
Gruss Lars

Hallo Lars,

schöne Lünette der Orfina! Ist die Sinn 103 St (plexy) mit diesem Lünette nachrüstbar? (Stahlrahmen!)
Danke! Gruss,
Robert

Dear Mates,

I need your help:
I have a pre-owned Sinn 203 / Arktis with the 60 ratchet counter-clockwise divers bezel, with which I have two problems:

1. The bezel is way too "loose", that is, in every position there is an easy move back (clockwise), so it is very hard to line the bezel markings exactly to the dial hour and minute markings, without looking at the watch impossible. My watchmaker says that it depends on the construction, so no replace of the bezel and/or the bezel spring could solve the problem. How are you 203/Arktis owners with this, does your watch bezel have this easy move within each ratchet position, or they are "exact"?
2. As a man never to dive I way prefer to have the same steel divers bezel working bidirectionally. Any serious opinion about the chance that if the bezel spring of my 203/Arktis can be replaced by the recent version of the 103 St Sa 60-ratchet bidirectional bezel, or does the 103 St Sa bezel ratchet mechanism work differently? Any significance here of the side screws of the 103 St Sa bezel, that the 203 bezel does not have?

Thanks a lot for any kind input! Please do not advice to ask Sinn/Frankfurt as this would be changing the function of a divers bezel.

Best regards,
Robert

PS: Any photos about (ratcheting) 103 St Sa bezel parts and watch case would also be nice if some have such scans...

Zitat von Robertusz

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.

Arktis in da Haus - couldn't be happier. Some mods to be done yet, after it I'll post the result here

Regarding prices: look the technical difference between the 140 on bracelet for cca. 4000 Euro and the Omega Seamster POC cal. 9300 on bracelet for 6100 Euro - which is the RRP only, still open for some discounts. No real race between these two for these prices. And I'm a hardcore fanatic of Sinn watches, owning 4 at the moment. (203 Arktis, 103 St plexy, 356 II copper dial and B&R Space One (=Sinn 142).

Hi Mates,
I cannot see any new threads in the sales corner since March 16th - is it possible that no trades, sales, WTB-s since than, or I do have some problems with the site?
Thx for any kind input - PM-s too!
Robert

I'm sorry that I haven't got any reply because that could easily be a technical problem on my computer that I still do not see anything new on sales corner after more than 1 month, while earlier there was something new every couple of days. Mod maybe? PM is welcome too...
Thx,
Robert
