Thanks again for the kind words, all!

Just a couple quick observations after 24 hours. I wish the date window was bigger and the dial had lume on 3, 6, & 9. Those are small quibbles and don't take away from the performance or enjoyment.

Love the easy to read dial, big part of the tool watch vibe. And the ability to hide the UTC hand, although I use it often so it will be seen most times. The darker tegiment steel adds an under-the-radar stealthiness which I am liking.

This beast will do land, sea, & air with ease. Good news cause it will see all three. Gotta love that German engineering.

Very many congratulations Dan, I have a couple of Sinn Tegemented watches that I wear for work, I am absolutely amazed that they still look brand new, I have banged scraped and generally abused them like you wouldn't believe. My only quibble? I never bought the 757 UTC like yours. Lol.

Dave,

I've seen your's and other's Sinn watches which first led me to the brand. Looking forward to see how it holds up over time. In the meantime it will be fun using all the cool features.

Congrats! Sinn makes great watch. I had an U1 years ago, sold it to fund another watch. I recent got another one back and it put a smile on my face everytime I wear it. :)



NATO always feel right at home

Dan: you and I seem to have the same taste in watches!

This is an excellent piece and as you noted, has the skills to pay the bills.

Totally looks "the business " too.

I love Sinn (but don't own any- yet).

Very sharp U1! NATO seem like a natural fit with Sinn.
