[Question] What is the appeal of Sinn? (alien.top)

Their dials are just so... bland. It's always black and white and minimalist to a fault. Like there's nothing interesting. Even Nomos has splashes of color here and there and play on typography. For example Nomo's simplest watch - Tangente, has a slight splash of color with blue hands. Other minimal dress watches usually differentiate with dial finishing - like with sunburst or a textured dial. But nope, Sinn design language is just: stainless steel, pure black, sans-serif numbers, and white indices. That's it. Yet they are super loved in here. Help me understand?

Ever wanted to wear German submarine steel on your wrist? Or an 50bar rated dive watch that's merely 12.3mm thick? If not, Sinn is not for you.

The bastards at Sinn finally let go of that ridiculous penis hand of the U range. The T range is just perfect, they make it exceedingly hard for me not to get one.
