Hopefully the models sold by Watch Buys use English on the day wheel. I actually thought about finding another picture, but the others I saw were on forums and I have heard some unhappiness about people lifting photos about privately owned watches not for sale.
Boogiebot: That's a really interesting comment. This model has actually been around for several years, but I see the resemblence. There are some notable differences too but maybe there is something to that being why I'm drawn to it. In that respect it wouldn't be weird at all. The XXI is still probably my favorite watch that I have owned. The only reason I sold it was the brownish dial; I sold overall for a triple financial whammy at the time but if the XXI had a black dial I probably would have kept it and not bought the Yachtmaster. I think that's the main reason most people sell them after a while.
Obviously, the Sinn is not a Breguet. Is it good enough, though, that I could enjoy it? Part of what I'm trying to gauge is quality. As opposed to, say, the prior model CSO in blue, which is also a Valjoux 7750 with mods, how good is this? I'm intrigued that it looks a a little different from the norm; then again, you don't see many XXs or XXIs around, or watches with that style. Whether I'm comfortable with maybe getting something that looks like my old XXI is now another consideration.
Roff: The different blue is part of the intrigue for me, as well. There are a couple of threads on Watchuseek with wrist shots--they really show the piece and the heading is the watch name--wasn't sure if it would be right to copy for these purposes or not. For my taste, a blue watch has limited versatilty in the first place, but it works great casually with jeans or with a blue shirt or suit, which I often wear. Also, Watch Buys has a pretty liberal return policy--you can't put it on of course, but if you open the box and don't like the dial in the metal, you can return it without a restocking fee. I was curious about servicing as well. I was told that RGM is doing service now and an Argon gas charging unit is a few weeks from coming over to RGM as well. The all-weather oil used for extreme temperatures is such that it has a three year warranty. If they can service it in the States, and up to now the Argon gas charge was the problem, it wouldn't seem any worse than sending to BUSA.
All comments are appreciated. Keep 'em coming. Thanks.
