Lasting Impression Of The Sinn 203 Arktis
In a way, actually many ways, German Sinn watches are like military vehicles. They are built to last not only because the customer demands it, but because Sinn puts a large investment into their products and does not want to replace them anytime soon. Take the AMC Huvmee, which was designed in the mid 1980s and is still the most widely used vehicle in the US Army. No consumer car would last that long and still be built. Sure lots of things have changed about the Humvee (Hummer H1), but it retains the same shape and feel. The applies to Sinn watches to a large degree. The Sinn 203 series of watches was designed over 15 years ago, and still have a wonderful lasting quality to it. Perhaps it is because it is a much a machine as it is a watch, a Sinn watch is meant to last both stylistically, and functionally for a long time.The Sinn 203 Arktis was designed as an extreme conditions chronograph. Meaning it retains accuracy well below freezing, and almost at boiling temperatures. The metal

The Ferrari Speedmaster Chronography for instance has earned a name for itself
When it came to precision swiss watch manufacturing Ferrari has always been the forerunner. The Ferrari Speedmaster Chronography for instance has earned a name for itself for being the first watch that was worn to moon. During the 1960s the North American Space Association (NASA) consistently used these hand-wound mechanical Speedmaster wrist watches for all their missions in the outer space. This fact in itself bears a pertinent testimony to the superior function and design of the Ferrari watches.

Well... It arrived yesterday. My heart is definitely with AP, but since selling my Diver, I've missed a rubber strap piece that works with a lot of clothing, water, etc.. Puffy's long review was a huge help, as was chatting with Mike, Michael Ian and Gus. Thanks guys! And also a huge thanks to one of our favorite enablers, DavidSW. Here are a few pics solo, as well as with a couple of my APs. Looking forward to hanging around the PP forum more, and I'm sure the PP sickness has just begun.

I was interested in this reference about a year ago, but the appeal, for one reason or another, faded. However, it's back on my radar. I was hoping current or former owners might be willing to chime in, as well as anyone else who has considered the reference.Also, would be interested to see it side by side with a speedmaster if possible..Thanks!

Does two tone work in gym shorts?
I'm on the hunt for my next watch. So far I've had a datejust 116234 but it was too small, a bluesey 16613 which I really liked but prefer the newer model, and a BLNR which I really liked but have an itch for two tone. My main issue is that I primarily wear gym shorts but I really enjoy a two tone watch. Is it strange to wear a two tone with gym shorts? If so, what is a good watch to wear? I've sold all my watches and I'm beginning to think my only solution is to have two watches as I may never be happy with just one. I'm currently eyeing a 116613 and 126331.
