Swiss Army Titanium. Best watch Ive ever owned (next to the Rolex I got from work, which was nice, but uglier than hell so I sold it on ebay for $3500 )

I keep breaking pins in my SA though so Im now wearing my 10yr old Timex Ironman Triathlon

I LOVE that Sinn watch you have... where and how much $$?

Sent me and my wife on a TREMENDOUS vacation to Hawaii too. Small island named Lanai (where Billy Gates spent his wedding/honeymoon).

What company you ask? Doesn't matter, they are bankrupt now. Go figure... Ah the telecom boom was great to me.

Thanks. Sinns are tricky to find in the US - if I were buying one new, I would probably look at this UK site. I bought mine used on the Timezone forums for $550.

From chronomaster.co.uk: Sinn Flieger 656 Automatic Wristwatch. Rarely today do you see designs appearing that are totally unique and instantly recognisable. This watch has it all. A simple design, with 4 large prime hour numbers, jet black with white markings and hands gloving maximum visibility and clarity. The design is based on an aircraft clock. As well as being a lovely practical looking watch, it is highly functional and is extremely resistant to magnetic interference, and has a strong well finished crystal and case. There is a small date window between the 4 and 5 hour markings. It is small so not to interfere with the numeric symmetry of this beautifully designed watch. Sandblasted stainless steel case and bracelet. A true future classic and the watch that everybody is talking about. The watch features a Swiss made ETA 2824-2 automatic, screw down crown and case back, 10 ATM water resistance, high quality stitched leather strap and signed buckle, hack seconds, sapphire crystal, presentation box. Width is 40 mm at widest excluding crown and 43 mm including crown, Crystal diameter is 33 mm, Lug to lug is 45 mm, Thickness is 11.5 mm Ref SIN 03 Price £395


I want your job too!!!

I wish I still had that job too... those were the days.

meh... I wear a 6 year-old $100 Fossil. It looks nice enough that people mistake it for a more expensive watch and it keeps good time. What more could you ask?

Jedi, you sure you don't mean Rolexxx or Rolux, or my favorite the Comdey Central Rolexo...

seriously though anyone looking at a fake or lookalike Rolex watch should really do themselves a favor and look for "Invicta" watches, generally they are a hundred bucks or less online, many models look just like Rolex watches and they will last a very long time if treated well vs the current fakes you buy on the street which IMHO suck and a junk.

link to Invicta?
