Can discuss how but my fiancee approved. It is an awesome tactical watch. I wore this over the weekend on a pretty aggressive tactical training and the watch made out without a single scratch. Me, in other hand, different story. :( Back to the watch. 757 UTC has the tegimented case and bezel, that was a big factor for me to get this watch. Also the bezel is screwed on. The quality of Sinn is outstanding, not to mention the equaly outstanding customer service from the watchbuys.com, which is the only US AD. Now enough writing.. I'll let pictures do the talking. Enjoy. With UTC hour hand:   Now UTC hand is hidden:    Case - Side view:  The case features a copper sulphate capsule which reacts with moisture to diffuse and absorb humidity in the watch. This capsule may be viewed through a porthole in the left lug, and over time will turn a deep blue as humidity is absorbed. This technology not only provides a more stable environment for the movement, but also prevents fogging of the crystal when going from hot to cold environments or from humid to non-humid conditions (such air conditioned buildings).  Case Back:  Rubber strap & deployant buckle:     Hidden Diver extension:  RareM5 |

Thanks! Canadajo - that's a beautiful 256 you got there. KenC - ha! good call. I forgot, Chrono feature will not work if the watch is not running.. You guys rock! |

You hear both ways whether you should leave the Chrono sub hands running 24/7... or only start em up when ya need em. Both sides swear their way is easier on the movement. Can't both be right?! Anybody have "the answer" ? ? |

Using the Chrono function 24/7 will reduce the hours of power reserve, but so what? And then I guess there is the old wear & tear argument......The only manufacturer I have seen with a position is Poljot, which recommends against full time us! Bottom line...sometimes I do it, sometimes I don't. Usually I just check to see if everything is working. There are a few things I time, but not many! |

If it is a good solid workhorse movement like the Swiss 7750 either way it should out last you if properly maintained. ;) |

Well I sure won't pretend to know. I'm the 1st to tell ya, I make no pretense of being a WIS. I'm just a plain old fashioned WI (Watch IDIOT !) Intuitively though, the "wear & tear" argument is so compelling that it really took me by surprise to hear it recommended that a Chrono should be left "running". Had to do w/ spring fatigue if left "cocked" & unused too long. Guy seemed to know what he was talking about. Whole conversation left me feeling dumber about the subject than I started out! face4.gif |

Hi M5, how do you find the comfortability of the rubber straps that came with the Sinn? I wear a Sinn U1 but doesn't like the rubber strap as it keeps my wrist sweating. Cheers, Ted |

I found the rubber band very comfortable. I preferred metal but this band, which is thick and soft, fits very nicely on the wrist. No problem with sweat since I wear this watch slightly loose. I hope that help. UTTrading wrote: Hi M5, how do you find the comfortability of the rubber straps that came with the Sinn? |
