Very enjoyable experience buying from First Class Watches. My thanks to Rowland for answering my questions. I ordered the watch on Monday at 14:30 and it arrived10:00 the next morning via DPD! Very good service all in all. I did not really need to use the DPD tracking service as First Class sent me regular updates.
I have been looking at Sinn watches for a wile, and in particular the Sinn 104. I wanted a simple, functional, and readable aviation watch that did not require reading glasses to see! I had not seen one in person, so the 30 day returns policy was attractive. I will not be returning the watch as it exceeded my expectations!
A very well made and attractive watch that looks even better than any of the many photograph's I examined! I really wanted the vintage dark brown leather strap but they seem to be on back order, so I gambled, and ordered the cowhide strap I also added a metal bracelet. Actually this worked out to be £10-20 more expensive than ordering the watch with just the steel bracelet, so a good deal! I was not sure about the cow hide strap as the photographs made look it too light in colour and rather plain! In the flesh it is much darker, even more so than the attached photo. The strap appears to be very good quality, and is a perfect for my seven inch wrist. The colour really suits the watch and it is going to be a while before I fit the metal strap!
Time keeping has been very good so far - the watch gains about eight seconds a day! Feels very light on the wrist. Both the watch and the metal bracelet came with good quality strap tools. The metal bracelet even came with a bottle of thread lock!
The 104 may well replace my trusty 22 year old Breitling B1 as my go-to watch for flying. The B1 is a Swiss Army knife when it comes to aviation watches but is getting hard to read as I get older. As watches go I think this watch was very good value given the build quality, functionality and design.
Many thanks to First Class watches for the excellent service. All the great reviews I read regarding the Sinn 104 and First Class watches were very accurate. I would strongly recommend both to anyone.
