New Sinn 556 Limited Edition

What are your thoughts on the new Sinn 556?
Limited to 400 pieces per colour with a 38.5mm case.
I personally love them and have ordered all four! I'm thinking of adding a bracelet to the order, I think that it will work best with these bright dials.

Looks way nicer than the Oyster Perpetual colours.

The dials are really nice.

Not convinced by the plain case, large crown and blah movement.

While the colors are cool, just not feeling they go with the case and not a fan of what they chose for markers. But clearly they seem popular as they are sold out in the US.

Sold out? I didn't realise. I like how minimal this design is, I can't wait to see what they will look like on a bracelet.

Agreed, I like the texture to the dials. It gives them a little more depth.

Yes just checked - so congrats on getting one of each! The case seems awesome , should wear really well. I have a damasko DS30 which has a very similar case out of same material.

Definitely not for everyone, but the 556 does have a large following. I have always been interested by this model and am excited to see what they're like on wrist. I guess the large crown goes with the "pilot" look to the watch.

Oh that's a great watch also. I usually prefer smaller watches but couldn't help myself with this release. Fingers crossed they all suit me haha

OP thanks for the picture!

A bit too bland for my taste but the dials are definitively nice and I can see the allure of the no-frill design. Congrats!

I reserved the yellow one, looking forward to seeing it in person. Good on you for getting all 4. My first choice, the blue was gone in the first day.
