Always love the rep to gen comparison. Nice pics.

Sweet! That's some nice Spanish wine too. Do you pour it from high above the glass?

Very nice...you do great comps on the pieces, also where did you obtain the strap?
I've been toying with getting the PVD GMT, hopefully it looks as good as yours. Was this from Purtime?

Thx for that, here we see how good the Sinn reps are. Not mentionning their excellent AR coating.
And I fully agree, it looks very nice on leather (with red stitching) : I did the same choice for my U2

Wow, thanks for the great post. I really like the simplicity of this watch. Kind of reminds me of a Mondaine on steroids. Beautiful watch and a perfect strap for it.

Very well done! Great detail shots.

As the lighting was slightly different, the red on gen looks richer. Is there much difference, or is it mainly in the lighting? Also the red type on the face looks to be thicker and have more 3d relief and shine to it.

What is case size and where did you find it?

U-boat photos remind me how great the movie Das Boot was!

Thanks for your comments

Really the double AR is excellent , but the steel , the case , are of good quality .... the simplicity is the key .... now the Sinn are the queen of the reps ( for me..)

I took an Internet photography, and the red color, it cannot be equal, I am sorry not to can to have done it...

The case is in 44 mm and the strap is from www.jacobstraps.com

The spanish wine is from the Basque Country.

From the Wikipedia

Txakoli is a slightly sparkling, very dry white wine with high acidity and low alcohol content produced in the Basque Country.

It is normally served as an aperitif and drunk within one year of bottling as it cannot be stored for longer periods. The most common variety is pale green in appearance but red and rosé varieties exist too. When served, it is normally poured into tall glasses from height, often as an accompaniment to pintxos today. It typically has between 9.5-11.5 ABV.

Pintxoak eta Txakoliña , the best !!!

I like the watch a lot, but I want to try that wine...preferably at that fine shop in the photo! What a great place!

Awesome review!

Thanks for posting

 

[bblake]

That is sooooo close to the gen. I'm really impressed. Nice comparison shots.

 

[JellyJoe]

I always encourage these awesome reviews. Taking the time to post pics to compare gen with rep is a great service for everybody.
Thanks for sharing mate, and very nice watch =)

how about lume, is it good?

 

[raguse]

how about lume, is it good?

No , the lume is very bad, doesn't have any lume

Soon I will send the watch to Hijack or Fleed ( see the thread "SINN U2 modded" ) to fix the problem.


Thanks

Impressive review. The comparison part is very enlightening. Sorry to hear that about the poor lume, though.

Good choice with the strap, suits it well IMHO.
