Sinn 240 ST Review
Last year at Basel World, Sinn announced a handful of curious and unexpected watches, from the diving-pilot's EZM 3F to the cleverly vintage 903 ST B E. But perhaps the most surprising was the 240 ST. Utilizing a case that dates back to at least the 80's, this barrel shaped tool-pilot is both new and a throwback. For those familiar with Sinn's line and history, you'll immediately note that the case comes from the revered 140/142 chronographs. Originally powered by the Lemania 5100, these rugged chronos are collector's pieces not just for their style, but also for their historical significance. As discussed in this article here, the 140/142s were, for a time, considered to be the first automatic chronographs worn in space. Sinn has since reissued those watches with their in-house modified Valjoux 7750 movement, the SZ01 and packed them full of their in-house tech. As expected, they command a demand a price of over $4k.The 240 ST is the first time this distinct barrel case has been used

can anyone tell me what reference this is?

I went to my local AD and tried on the 45.5 but it was just too big and thick, and I have a big wrist 7-3/4. I also wasn't crazy about the grey ceramic bezel. So I decided on the 45mm (thinner) model with the 8500 movement. I wanted to be sure I got the D version so I decided to buy new and move fast as they are disappearing since being recently discontinued. I wasn't sure which band I wanted, so along with the steel bracelet, I ordered the mesh and the black rubber strap with orange stitching (I'll address the rubber strap later in a different post). When I received the watch I was thrilled with the watch but the steel band felt very heavy and uncomfortable. And although i

Paul Pierce Commemorative Watch
When Paul's number was retired on Sunday, the Celtics gifted him a Rolex. He took a peak on the floor, closed the box and handed it to his wife...I want to know what was in the box!! Was it a personalized Hulk? If anyone has an answer, please shed some light!
