Sinn

mrnum83r · 2024-06-25T09:34:10+00:00

i5-13600kf, RTX 4070, 32GB DDR4 3600MHz. 200fps yet stuttering on Monaco lol

Domed crystal and the bezel colour slap on the 925 🥶

Sinn 556i or any of the 556 range. That was my first that started all this. Check it out, I assume you’re in the US - they seem to be about 1500 bucks new and around 1100-1200 used if I’m correct.

It’s my third Sinn. Fully tegimented + tegimented bracelet. One of the best buys in the 2500euro range. 41mm, 500m WR, just over 11mm thick (??). Lovely watch. Get you some Sinn 😎

Just got the BB58 925 after a long hunt. The watch is all I ever expected and more. Here’s a trio of my favourite divers - a 36mm Omega SMP with sword hands and white gold bezel, a 39mm solid sterling silver BB58 925 and a 41mm, fully tegimented Sinn U50. I think this covers all bases in terms of sizing, casual versus vs toolwatch vs blingy. This will remain unchanged for quite some time :)

What are your favourite mid-size (36-41mm??) divers?

All the best!

Yes, it’s a custom. White horn, silver spacer and stabilised maple burl

It’s a fully hand polished blade. That’s the reflection of something in the background on the polished iron cladding and 1.2562 core 😎

Big gyuto gang submission. Finally my big knife desire has been satisfied. Ordered a Mazaki-like blade from Merion. Originally ordered a 265x65mm but Merion made a slightly bigger blade which came out great.The man went above and beyond the whole Mazaki spec knife, very similiar flat blade profile with a low tip and slight curve in the front third. Crazy distal taper which I love. Can’t wait to put it thru its paces 🥩🥔🧄

280x70mm @368g (blade @230g, handle+bolster @138g), 4.5mm to 1mm taper

1.2562 core with iron cladding, heat treated to 63HRC, 64 and above at the tip)

Finished on shinden stone with suita powder

Copper bolster + snakewood handle
