Watches - another OCD problem
-
I finally made my decision and chose a watch that I believe is very much “me.” It’s not flashy, is substantial in weight, and kind of “punk rock” in a way.
Very happy with my decision, and it’s procurement for the celebration of my 30th birthday (next week) is all the more meaningful. A very special thanks to the friend who was able to facilitate the sale for me.

I’m not much of a watch guy but that is stunning Adam.

Thanks Gav, after trying on 100 stainless band watches, I realized a leather band was the way I wanted to go.
And SINN seems to be a pretty rare brand in the US, so the likelihood of running into someone on the streets of Alabama with it is probably about as rare as seeing some Iron Heart jeans walking the streets lol

I made the switch to leather bands (from stainless steel) about 3 years ago and I just absolutely love them. Nothing against stainless, but IMHO there is a certian aesthetic of leather that really appeals to me. Especially with contrast stitching.
If you are ever in the market for more of a high end band, DaLuca has some really great products.
Great piece though sir. Truly unique and very appropriate given your personal style.

many thanks @Dstauffer - I have been trying to keep it in te box until my birthday next week, but it will probably get worn on Wednesday when I "dress up" for work.

Looks good @Appfaff. It's not an obvious choice either.
I prefer leather or rubber straps to steel bracelets. I find the latter heavy, and relatively uncomfortable. There are a few that I'm OK with (such as the titanium one on the Ploprof), but I don't think that I'd get a watch with one.

Very nice watch. Simple and classic is always a good call.
Just don't start making puns about how this makes you a Sinner or some other such crap…

Thats a very nice watch @Appfaff.

good start. congrats on digging a deeper hole into the world of watches..

Hahaha luckily for me my wife’s hawk like monitoring of our finances mixed with her uncannily frugal tendencies will probably mean this is the “only” watch I buy for a while…
And in all honesty, I have a quite a few watches, just nothing high-end like the SINN - I’ll probably rotate like I do my jeans and give them all some love.

I still need to set the time and date
C'mon, the first thing you're supposed to do is set the time and date, matched exactly to the coordinated atomic clocks at the U.S. Naval Observatory and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, so you can track the accuracy and then brag about how it's running better than COSC standards.
Do you even know how to watch nerd, bro?
-
well, considering that I had to read the damn instructions on how to get the crown to pop out, I am obviously outside of my league hahaha
but yes, I did set it to the official time standards
