Sinn 857 Watch
I just got finished using a German proxy server to trick Sinn's website into thinking I was viewing it from their homeland. Why did I do this? To get the price of this new 857 collection watch for you. Sinn apparently uses geo-locating to protect their prices from being viewed by potential buyers outside of Germany. Probably because those prices vary from country to country. Nevertheless, I am still going to tell you the prices as that is only fair.To my knowledge Sinn hasn't hard-launched the new 857 and 857 S watch collection yet. Though, the pieces are right up there on their website. These are a more simple version of the existing 857 UTC models which contained a small central GMT hand. What the 857 really is however is an upgraded and larger version of the 657 and 657 S - a watch I proudly own but simply do not wear any longer as it is too small. Overall the 857 is going to be a very solid seller for Sinn based on its design and upgraded features over the 657 family.The 857 and 85

Incoming - jumbo
GentsA little while ago I was asking about the fit and impressions on the thin RO. They are hard to try on and locate. So I put my mind to it and started the hunt, then placed a deposit. About 5 weeks later, and here it is. What can I say, amazing bracelet that sparkles. Thin case that is super comfy. Beautiful blue dial. No seconds, so what, it's a jumbo man. I've got other watches to watch a seconds hand. I can still hear it tick. I just love the Look from the rear. The rotor is my favorite part.Great first impressions and I'm glad I rolled the dice, how can a thin 39mm not fit.....Here we go

Yin and Yang my perfect combo
I started my PAM journey since 2008 and have acquired a number of PAMs. My PAM journey has come to an end and I have settled in with these 2 pieces that I call the Yin and Yang of my collection. I just wanted to share with you this photo.

A question for Submariner and sea dweller owners
I have a black submariner with date and whenever I look at the black dial and bezel of a sea dweller I can't help but think it is basically the same watch. Yes I see the red line of text that says sea dweller and I admit it really pops and looks great. Both watches are awesome. But overall they just seem like the same watch or nearly the same watch. Yes I know there are some subtle differences such as the movement, size, depth rating etc. Rolex has so many different styles of watches in different colors and designs my question to those that own both of these watches is:What is it that inspired you to buy both a submariner AND a sea dweller?

What price you get from insurance?
Has anyone on this forum had to file a claim with their insurance company for a Rolex watch, who is willing to share what value their insurance company gave them compared to Rolex suggested retail?The reason I ask is that I recently filed a claim with my insurance company for a lost Rolex, and the quote they received from Rolex was only about 75% of suggested retail price.In the end this was irrelevant to me, as I asked them to send me a replacement watch (same model as the insured piece), but it did make me curious.Does Rolex perhaps quote them the wholesale price?
