Title says it all. I’m seriously considering getting a 556 with the black mother of pearl dial as my normal wear watch (even I concede it will never be my ONLY watch, but maybe my USUAL watch).
From what I can see, it seems like a gada watch. You could dress it up for suit service, but you could equally take it swimming at the beach. It’s well built and gorgeous and not too expensive. Or so I think.
Tell me it’s not fancy enough to dress up with a suit. Tell me it’s poorly built or has QC issues. Tell me the dial is ugly. PLEASE, help me avoid this. I guess you could say get the regular black 556 instead but that doesn’t help much.
This may be my only safe place to say — these are super ugly. And I mean Sinn in general. I truly don’t understand the appeal. They look like cheap watches you find at a kiosk at malls, next to cheap jewelry and hand cream.
Have you seen them in person or wore before? I’m genuinely curious.
I’ve seen the 556 but never tried on.
Gotcha. I feel like with so many watches it’s so hard to tell unless you see it in person. Particularly the luster of the metals, brushed v. Non-brushed. They make a huge difference and brands don’t do it the same either. Like sinn but don’t love the way they did the metal on this piece.
