Sinn 900 Pilot S Chronograph Watch
Die Fliegeruhr 900 FLIEGER S! Der gro??e Fliegerchronograph! This new tool watch from German brand Sinn is a handsome looker, and saying "screw you!" (in German) to fashion watches. This pilot style watch is a compliment to similar dive chronograph watches from Sinn. Such as the? U1000. While the 900 Pilot is no longer brand spanking new, the 900 Pilot S, which is in black, is new. See my previous article on the Sinn 900 Pilot watch here.I love the hard industrial feel of the watch. The pure dedication to function and durability that still ends up looking nice. Sort of makes sense that Sinn made a limited edition watch for Hummer right? Does the addition of a PVD coated black on the watch make it fundamentally different from the non PVD version? Not really, but the look of an all black sports watch is a force to be reckoned with.

Yes, to this point, Defakto, who made a name for themselves with one-handed watches, had yet to produce a 3-hander. The Struktur does so in an elegant manner, keeping true to the moder

Left the 5167 club today.
Slightly different thread than the usual incomings. I traded away my 5167 for another watch (Rolex 116655). I really enjoyed the Aquanaut and would recommend it wholeheartedly as a daily driver, but ultimately I felt like 2 stainless steel Pateks with identical movements was redundant and decided to send it to a loving home.

Anyone have a Patek Tropical Strap break?
It is rubber after all, at some point it has to disintegrate. I wonder what the lifespan of them are.
