They're better looking than the square ones IMO...

A little off topic but can anyone enlighten me on the relationship between Sinn and B&R? I've seen a couple of pieces within a 20-25 year timeframe co-signed on the dial... now I think those pieces are really cool...

The cool thing about these watches is that the crystal is much higher than the rest of the case instead of being flush like most modern watches. It gives them a real vintage feel.


I guess that's why they are the Vintage series. :poke:

I like the chrono better on these two and find the small seconds non-chrono a bit bland. But the Heritage non-chrono version is pretty sharp IMO. I think they are even a little less, but could be wrong.

you think 3k list is expensive for that watch?

i was thinking how cheap it was!


That's a pretty steep price point for both of those watches. You can get much more watch with other brands at those prices.

Breitling diesnt have an automatic watch, let alone a pvd one for 3k.

who does of a comparable brand? they are all close to that.


Wasn't the colt like $2k? And I'm done comparing to breitling, they've lost their minds as far as I'm concerned with what happened at Basel. I just think that for what a b&r is they're too expensive. $3k for a pretty basic looking watch with a pretty basic movement inside of it seems a bit high to me, jmo. I'm assuming that it had an eta inside of it that isn't heavily modified by the way.

:yeahthat

To each his own. I liked B&Rs for about 5 minutes. Once I became better educated, I just realized they're overpriced for what they are. I don't compare them to Breitling - I compare them to all manufactures.

For the money, I'd rather buy an actual vintage piece than something new made to look old.

While I like the look of those pieces I'd probably buy something else for those prices. I don't think the prices are that high and the watches look nice but for some reason I just couldn't do it.

:yeahthat I think i'd get bored of it pretty quickly. Its a nice watch (esp the Chrono) but there's not enough to it to keep me entranced.
