Looking at sinn for my work watch.

Hey everyone I have the itch for a new watch. More like an infected mosquito bite that just won’t stop. I spend 60-70 hours a week at work so my watch with the most time is always my work watch. For a while I ran my skx then my 216570 my ranger and a few quartz watch’s. I manage a manufacturing facility and tend to be harsh on anything on me. So I gave up wearing anything to nice.

I loved my Tudor ranger but ended up selling it last year to a friend that well won’t sell it back yet lol. I ended up stumbling across the Sinn 556 A RS I love the size at 38mm and the big seller was it has a date which to me is very important in my line of work. Anyone one that model how is the quality? How is the anti magnetic of the watch? Any wrist shots?

I'm primarily on the revenue side of my main business right now but about to move back to the manufacturing end, and was previously spending a lot of time there.

I just picked up a Grand Seiko SGBE255 for this purpose. Discreet/won't rub people the wrong way, looks great with some wear and tear, and very well made for the money.

I was looking at Sinn too, but they seemed to have gone up quite a bit in price, and then I figured a 2nd hand GS wasn't *that* much more...

You could look at Damasko too BTW.

Unfortunately, isn't this model discontinued? I don't know why they did this.

I'm a huge Sinn fan. I have 3, and love and wear them all. But none of them are "discrete." They are pure tool (U2, 900S, EZM10).

Damasko is also great. However, I was eyeing the DC66 but that got discontinued.

I’m going to check out damasko. The real draw was the 12 3 6 9 simple and super legible.
I’d look at grand seiko I would just feel bad about the zaratsu polish it would make it a day. I d have to strip the case and bead blast it or have it plasma coated.
