I've been anxiously waiting for this watch since pre-ordering one out of the last batch back in early March.   This is a Limited Edition model of 150 pieces based off the Sinn 856 S UTC. This one is known as the 856 S BKA/SG, or 856S UTC SG..

The S stands for "Schwarz" = Black. BKA is "Bundeskriminalamt" which is the German equivalent of the FBI. The SG is "Sicherungsgruppe" or Security Group which is the protection division of the BKA is similar to the US Secret Service.

It is a smallish watch by todays standards at 40mm, but it wears larger because the dial is standard size. Plus I have a small wrist so 40mm works for me.   As you can see it is also a destro model with the crown on the left.

I'm a PVD freak and one of the things that drew me to the watch is Sinn's super hardened Tegimented PVD which arrived looking fantastic! I also love the double AR coated crystal. The watch is exceedingly easy to read and any angle at just a glance.

The watch comes on a very nice padded leather strap with red contrast stitching. It is just the right thickness, and I like the signed buckle that also received the Tegimented PVD treatment.    I'm definitely going to have fun wearing this watch!

My only complaint so far is no lume on the second hand, but the lume on the hands and markers is awesome!

Thanks Pax

Now I see the Print, just going too fast to read it all, was more stiumlated by the Pictures and the PVD and the Knife and the Flashlight.

As my wife always says to me, ooooh Shiny

sometimes im like a crow to aluminum foil
Great Watch, again
