      And I appreciate that, Rocket.:)  The U1 is a classic.

      A few years back there was a limited edition U1 with a full lume white face that I really loved.  I still occasionally think about trying to find one.

        @ Chris - http://www.chronomaster.co.uk/sinn_u_series.htm is this the same white one you remember?

        I love the U1, if anyone was thinking of flipping theirs then please feel free to PM me in the first instance.

          I can only highly recommended the U1 (btw Alex the factory is only 1 hour away from me, so no online shopping  😉 )

          You definitely get a lot for your money and compared to others, the asking price is very very fair. I had others and way more expensive ones before, but since I bought this one I didn't feel to go for something else. (beside maybe some vintage Rolex ones that are way out of my budget anyway)

          This is my daily rocker since around 3 years and there is not a single scratch or whatever on parts like the rotating ring due this Tegiment harding German submarine steel its made out…

                    thats what I mean and you don't need to worry or take much care of, things like to hit accidentally a stone wall or whatever with a 5000+ Euro watch only to see that you made scratches on to, it isn't the hottest thing… its no classic,  but who need the show.... a bit like Iron Heart, quality one a excellent level minus the poser factor...

                      i wear my ROLEX 16610 about the History and quality….my daily rocker is the 16610!
                      I rock this bitch every day @ work,i am a mechanic and the 16610 make all things that i make too!
                      but i think a ROLEX has a real real soul and history OPTIK!......HISTORY=movement 3135,history(Gleitze,Wilsdorf, same Design(oyster case) :-!!! since the 50´s on the Sub,100% autarchic) :-

                      but the U1 is a opinion in my mind!
                      i love my 16610 an d my 116200 and i never give it away!!!
                      i think the the U1 is a really good Choice......the history about the u boat steel is really  freaky and cool!
                      Optik is lovely good too!
                      what i think is not soooo good is the eta movement :-
                      but i think i get the U1 soon too  😉

                      thanks ROCKET to anfixen! 😛

                          1000€ is no to much for a mechanic,high quality item-MADE IN GERMANY! 😘

                          When i wear Jeans for 250€-300€…i think a wtach for 1000€ is ok;-)

                                    Yep, Hectic, that's the one.
                                    Gotta stop looking at watches; it's been a while since I bought one and I don't need to sucked into buying another.  The wife is already hinting that I should clean out a couple that I don't wear often…

                                        my modest contribution to this thread.  not much of a watch guy really, but this one has served me well.

                                        PUT DOWN THAT STARBUCKS, PICK UP THAT GNARBUCKS!!

                                          Been at home drinking beer and photographing stuff today.

                                          And one of mine:

                                          and then I ran out of battery. Well, more beer then.

                                            That is a lovely watch you've got there, loghill. Classic chronograph design. Late 60s, is it?
