Sinn 103 a sa, classic tool beauty *PIC*

Hi all. Hope to see more traffic on a deserved forum.

What say you to the Sinn. Countdown bezel, 200m water resistant,
and damn good looking, I think. I've even learned to overcome legibility issues when minute and hour hands are over the subdials.
The 103 st sa has better legibility but I will forgo that purely for aesthetics. And the dial is to damn busy (repetitive minute markers, arabics reundant to bezel and so forth)
and I'm not a big fan of arabic hour markers unless it is integral to the watch's style eg. B-Uhr fliegers. Plus the a sa evokes numerous
Autavia, Zodiac, Hamilton, etc. dials although not in a tri-compax config.
