Sinn model 656
A very simplistic flieger-style mechanical watch. Case diameter: 38mm
This watch I purchased from its 2nd owner November 2009 over the sales forum at Watchuseek.com
The original owner purchased this one from Watchbuys.com May, 2008, sn: 656-6430
There is still some time left on the original 2 yr warranty. However, the watch appears very healthy. No concerns about the warranty.
I've worn this for 4 days so far. It gains 6 seconds per day, consistently. Not at all bad for mechanical watch not claiming to be a certified chronometer.
Movement: ETA 2824-2, 25 jewels 28800 bph, (grade = elaborated) A workhorse Swiss movement with a long design history.
Automatic, hacks and hand-wind.
The watch came with the original leather strap. It is a nice quality strap but too short and too narrow for my 8-1/2 inch wrist. For now I am using a Maratac ballistic nylon strap while I await an oem Sinn bracelet designed for this watch. The Maratac nylon strap is very comfortable to wear.
Bracelet arrives from Watchbuy's in two business days from date of purchase.

Diver's extension
I did not expect the bracelet to come equipped with a scuba diver's extension. But it does. Water resistance rating on this watch is for 100 meters. Not a scuba diver's watch. Then again you never know when things will get wet.
This watch was sold 2010 to a buyer in the Northwest Territories
