Sinn 757 UTC

Sorry for the delay in getting some descent photos up. Been dealing with a couple of things.

AWESOME pics DOC!

I know a little of the back story but that watch still TOTALLY rocks!

TOTALLY dig that yellow GMT hand!

Congrats and keep enjoying it!

Great looking watch DOC!

About bullet proof Doc.Congrats on the 757.

Thanks guys. Things are working out and its a terrific watch. Very complicated dial but its easy to read at the same time.

Drilled lugs so that makes changing the bracelet much easier (thanks Sinn).

GMT is pretty nice setup with it being 12 hour and jumping. The best part is that they made the yellow hand the same shape as the hour hand and just a fraction smaller so it can hide behind the hour hand if you are not using it. My GMTs are usually set to GMT as a reference for Europe but it also makes the math for other timezones easier since its 0. I figure, why have a GMT hand of you hide it. But, it's nice that you can do so on this - just not sure when I'd do that with it.

Lume is nice. Readable at 5am this morning on the nightstand so that's good. Its not a torch like my Sumo or Monster but its good through the night so that's good.

Bezel lines up perfectly and has a much more tool-like ratcheting to it.

Keeping good time (-2 secs over 24 hours from what I can tell - it has no standard second hand so I had to use the chrono for this).

Weird not having a 9 o'clock constant seconds hand on a 7750 based chrono. Its taking some getting used to but it definietly unclutters the dial to a degree. When I need a second hand I already use the Chrono on my other 7750s so this is not much different.

Speaking of seconds hands - this one is really nice. I couldn't put my finger on it in the pics but I liked the hands but wasn't sure why. The second hand is a very long, narrow, straight white hand but it tapers from the base to the tip to about 50-60% of its original width. Nice, elegant look.

Overall, the single most toolish watch I have ever handled and yet its got very solid wrist presence. Wears well at 43mm (better than my Mido frankly) without any digging in of the crown.

The case maker is SUG and their logo (and GERMANY) are engraved into the case between the 6 o'clock lugs. Can't see it with the bracelet on but its visible with a strap.

Anyway, thanks for looking!

Very, very sweet watch Doc. everything will be fine and the watch was well worth the wait! Knowing me i would set the GMT time to those crazy Norweigan friends of ours to see if it was cocktail hour but i have a feeling its cocktail hour all the time over there!

That watch looks phenomenal Robert! Can't wait to see it with the new bracelet!

Good to see it in the light of day, Robert. That is a handsome piece.
I love my GMT's, (looking at maybe adding another) and similar to Trevor, I keep mine though, to CET, love France, Switzerland and Italy and the time we spent there. Keeping up with what the time is, for when we go back.

Great watch, Doc! We may make a Europhile out of you yet...

Beauty. Probably my favorite modern Sinn. Congrats!

She's a beaut Doc, congratulations.

Glad your liking it and solid overview. I too love the Chrono seconds hand, and once you live with it a while, the lack of a constant seconds hand is no big deal, and actually a bit refreshing since it's not something you see on many other watches.

It's also right at home on Leather, Nato/Zulu or the bracelet, and with 200m WR, it can handle time in the water as well.

Love the pics too.

Great watch Doc!! Beautiful!!!

great watch Doc! Enjoy wearing it.

Thanks guys. Its really nice. Sinn sure makes a sweet product. I looked at some of the 100 series chronos over the years but never did pull the trigger. Then I got my O&W Mirage III and love it. The bidirectional bezel is a real plus for a non-diver IMHO. Having realized that with the O&W it made the bidirectional bezel on this that much more of a plus for me.

I have 22mm rubber but did not like the look. Don't have any 22mm brown so I'm probably going to order a peanut and dark brown in Buffalo from International Watchman. Love his Buffalos (and the price even more - $10) and they're XLs to boot! Have the bracelet it came on up for sale at eBay. If I can clear $150 then I'll be at 0 sum on the new bracelet.

Anyway, its a great watch and just about the most toolish one I've ever handled. My correspondence with Sinn in Germany was a pleasure. Responded to my query about 3 minutes after they opened this morning.

Now, is there any Sinn swag floating about?

Yowza Doc !!! Your Sinn is a REAL stunner !
It's got it ALL !..The dial is SO NICE with the vibrant hands,
and markers. Along with an EXCEPTIONAL GMT hand, which
mirrors the UTC there as well. Even the case, and how that
bezel looks is UNBELIEVABLY NICE !..I know these watches
have a great reputation, so the quality is more than just on
the surface. It must be extremely fun to hold one of these,
or have it on the wrist sir ! ..Congratulations on getting
this Sinn, and ENJOY everything about it !!!..Fantastic photos
as always too !

Amazing photos, how do you not get crystal glare? Anyway, that 757 has been a long favorite of mine, really great watch. Congrats on getting one! Another reason to love the 7750!

Thanks. The answer is dual AR and a light box that diffuses the light. These aren't that good, I was rushed. Need to clean up the crystal, sharpen the focus and add some features. Plus I just got some Macro attachment lens for the camera ($25 for 4, optical quality is not that great but then its a step up for me) so I'll be trying those next weekend.

Congrats on a great watch!! Being able to hide the GMT is so cool......
