Bro, excellent summary of pts to look out for... and yes, for a few hundred dollars differential i rather buy brand new...

[plohhk]

Thanks for the advise, I hear u totally and cannot agree more. I add that if I should buy a preowned one in event I know I will approach the deal with patience as I will not die if I dun have it mindset else if I too poisioned, I will just go get myself a brand new U1. Thanks again cheers!

Hi everyone,

I am new here. I am very interested in Sinn watches and thinking of getting 656. However, I had some questions I hope someone can enlighten me.

Sinn had some interesting technology like argon filling, silicon oil etc. incorporated inside their watches. After some research, (correct me if I am wrong), the technology found in 656 I guess will be silicon oil and anti-magnetic. My concern is that when the watches requires servicing after a few years, is the Sinn service centre in Singapore equipped to service the watches? Or do the watches need to be sent back to Germany for servicing. I did some research on the net and I read that some watches need to be sent back to Germany. Would this be the case for 656 (I believe that the technology in 656 is minimal compared to other range as it is a basic range)?

Thank you

Welcome aboard!

i'm not really well-versed with sinn timepieces even though i only hv a u1 but one thing's for sure: the tegimented pieces are good tool watches and definitely as tough as nails save for the AR coating on the sapphire glass.

when it comes to argon, silicon oil and all that jazz, i'm quite sure it can only be done in germany. good luck for your hunt and do share your joy with us when u have bought one.
