Appreciate the full review Pete! This watch is definitely in my top 3 for future purchases as I love the unique design elements and compact dimensions. I sport a flattish 6.5 inch wrist, and figure this will fit nicely. Loved the comparison to other watches, nice touch!
Great watch I have it on my radar. I picked up a U1 recently, I absolutely love it and the larger size. The U50 proportions are really attractive too. Sinn are my favourite brand along with omega.
I finally got mine last week too! Amazing watch. Except for the clasp, but whatever. As for the paint on the hands being uneven, that’s what I thought before by just watching videos and checking out photos on internet. And the reason is that the red paint is gloss and reflect a lot of light. That’s my simple explanation but in person, the paint finish is perfect on the hands 👌
I get the feeling you like this watch lol. Got to say I don't blame you, it's definitely got its own unique vibe. Yes , definitely one to add to the list. Great review Pete , really enjoyed it mate.
Hi great review by the way, do you still own the watch if so are your thoughts still the same and is the surface holding up ok, I'm looking to purchase it.
Well I had both and sold this one, kept the doxa. Why? The doxa is more iconic and that's sort of the goal in my permanent collection. Doxa is also more fun. I love tool watches, but the u50 might have been a little too tooly! Very brutal looking in it's design and over time that look lost its appeal to me. I've never gotten tired of the doxa.
Nice segment at the end lol. As for Sinn, its a nice watch, but I’m not sure about the lego indices. And what’s up with their website? It’s like they don’t want you to find their watches.
Is it realistic to change the handset by a watch maker after? Is it realistic to change the clasp (but keep the same bracelet)? Do you have any idea if they're going to revise the u50 anytime soon?
It's definitely possible to have the hands changed, but your choices will be limited and it's doubtful the lume will match. I sold this watch, I don't remember the clasp attaches but I'm sure it's possible to change the clasp, but again it won't be tegimented steel so probably won't match.
San Martin do a pretty awesome looking sand blasted homage of this, if homage watches are your thing. Already sold out in the AliExpress 11 11 sale I noticed earlier.
WTF, LET'S SIN(N)... Ahh, german brutal and kitch design that ends to be nice as fock, still built like a tank. Even the indices look like tanks from an 80's video game! A total "must" watch for any submariner or even any mechanic/ architect in the (reviving) brutalist architecture movement (don't look at it, sucks mostly... hahahaha). PS Watch your back when you call anything german smooth, you may regret it! LOL PS2 Last part was fun mate. Hope this barrel is big enough........
Love the Submarine Steel, slim casing compared to 500m divers of other brands but I dislike the squarish hands red white reminds me of the RED CROSS SOCIETY ! They should change the design of the hands for something more sporty or sophisticated ...
