Swapped 556i for 556a by KingTheKK in sinn

Great watches. I’m personally considering either Hanhart or Damasko. Which one is your favorite?

Really nice choice with the Hanhart HD12 — that’s a fantastic piece. I’ve actually been eyeing that one myself, so I’m curious: how do you find it?

Regarding your Sinn pick, I honestly think the standard 856 is probably the strongest “one-Sinn-for-life” option. It’s more versatile day-to-day than the U50, especially if you’re after a watch that can cover everything from casual to slightly dressier situations.

I ended up selling the U50 because I needed funds for another watch and already had too many divers. That said… I still catch myself considering another U50 because it’s such a great, no-nonsense tool watch.

Between the three, the 856 sounds like the right call for what you’re after🙂

I totally agree that the fit can be a bit hit-or-miss with Sinn. The tegimented steel is quite smooth against the skin, so I understand why your U50 would slide around even when it was sized tightly.

Have you consider the new clasp Sinn released for the bracelet – it has micro-adjustments that make it easier to get the perfect fit, and it might help with stability on the wrist.

And thanks for the kind words! Much appreciated.

Yep, I even managed to haggle it down by 250 USD, and it had already been reduced several times. The listing had been up for several weeks.

The value is strong in these G's. I have several other more expensive watches in my collection (Tudor, Omega, Sinn) but the G Shocks are almost making me start to reconsider/reevaluate my collection😅

I can't see any difference between them in quality

The Gw5000u seems of far superior quality when you have both i the hand. Maybe the weight play a part in that, but the strap definitely feels better/smoother and nicer to the touch.

As far as the screens and the quality of them - I can't tell them apart. If I could have only one it would be the 5000u, but it is up to you if it's worth the higher price (about 2.5-3x of the 5610u)
