New Sinn Bracelet

I ordered a replacement bracelet for my new Sinn 757 UTC from the only US AD - Watchbuys - over the holiday weekend. They shipped it Tuesday morning via FedEx and it arrived this morning. Very quick in my opinion for standard shipping. It was packaged exceedingly well. They had it in serious bubble wrap inside a very solid box. Also, Sinn apparently sends all bracelets out in their boxes with formed foam inserts and include a Sinn branded springbar tool, springbars, and allen wrenches for the screws. Very nice, particularly in comparison to both Omega and Fortis with whom I have dealt before for bracelets. Both send their new bracelets out in flimsy plastic sleeves without anything else. Frankly, the box the bracelet came in and the fitted foam are nicer than many watch boxes I've got

PICS DUDE...

...PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool Doc, let's see it on that bad boy 757 UTC.

LOVE Sinn bracelets.

No pics,it didn't happen.

Just got home, took pics, edited them, loaded to Photobucket, and

Congratz on the new bracelet Robert. I hope you were able to resolve the issue resulting in the purchase!

Thanks Duff! Yes, it looks like the bracelet will be a free and clear purchase so I ended up paying what I originally intended and have a new bracelet instead of the damaged one. Win-Win but with some bumps and irritation along the way.

Also, I noticed something and wanted to run it past folks here. The old one looked like this:

My new one looks like this:



Looks to me like they have added the Tegimented Symbol to the clasp



Is this new or is it something that has been seen before?

Hmm, very difficult for me to tell Robert. I guess your only solution would be to pack it up and ship it off to me attached to the watch of course, for a through inspection! And you don't have to Thank me Bro....it's the least I can do for a friend!

Duff,

First, thank you. It really makes me warm all over knowing you'd put yourself through that for me.

Second, we were saved from that imposition on you by a response from the US AD for Sinn:

"Sinn has developed a logo for the Tegiment process that they are now using on some of their products that feature that technology."

So, apparenty the logo usage on items is new and not completely through the line yet.

Thanks again,

-Robert

Did you get to keep the damaged bracelet, how damaged is it and will it fit a U1? Think you know where i'm going with this doc if you got it throw a price out there!

Thanks for posting those doc.Thats the new bracelet.All sinn bracelets work really well.They form well to the wrist.
Thats why when you see them used,the bracelets are pretty scratched up.Even the rubber strap with the large deployants
are really good.One good thing here is Sinn started to put the new tegimented hallmark on them.Thats really a good idea.
One,you know that its totally new and hasn't been sitting in inventory for two years.Also it insures that you do get a tegimented
bracelet.When looking at a tegimented bracelet and a standard one outside,you can see the difference.But under inside lighting its hard to
tell.I'm sure they did this because at some point,people were sent the wrong bracelets.

will that braeclet fit on the U1 big daddy or is the lugs size different?

Very nice Doc!

It would be nice if it did Trevor.

Sinn is amazing in their packaging of bracelets and straps. Your new one will look fabulous on the watch!

Sean, I agree that it's a great idea. Odd that I seem to be the first to report this on th Sinn forums.

Trev, Yup! The official answer from both the US and Aussie ADs is that it will.

dealing with a company that you know puts such effort into things

as the BIG things. It also shows that they care about the customer !

Sean,

Thanks for the heads up. I went looking for the 757 on other Sinn straps/bracelets and found a few pics but none on rubber. That is none until I joined the Sinn Uhren - und - Technikforum which is a German Language Sinn forum. Pretty cool place. Of course, my German is not up to the technical discussions but Google and Bablefish really help with that.

Oh that rubber looks good too!

Apparently it will fit a 9in wrist (barely) too straight from the shipping box. Clasp is well thought of by the reviewers too. Runs $120 new from the US AD. 22mm.
