I loved it but... I wasn't in love with it so it was time to go...

Looks great! :thumbsup:

I haven't been a particular fan of the U1, but I have to admit this looks pretty sweet. :)

Awesome watch! The bracelet really puts it over the top(especially over the rubber strap).

Oooo k.... It's a gen. :)

First impression was that it was a tad big but it was because I was rockin the IWC Mark XVI all day. After ten minutes it was as normal as a 44mm Panerai on my wrist. It wears quiet small for a 44mm due to its lug to lug (height wise). It weighs a ton just like my old MKII but its better cause I don't have a crown digging into the back of my hand.

The finish on the case, bracelet and bezel screams quality. Never held a gen until today and I have to say.. sinn lives up to its hype.

For under 2k the sinn U series are no doubt the best bang for your buck when it comes to tool watches.
Thanks all for the comments!

That's why they call me "Dead Eye" gentlemen. :)

Congrats, Cheez! That's a sweet watch!

By the way, what kinda guy are you, Cheez- Geno's, Pat's, Delessandro's, Frusco's, Tony Luke's? ...Or, are you a Wawa guy? (just kidding)
