FS: Sinn 1550SG (Bund)

I love this watch but I've got a few other military watches and this one doesn't get worn as much as it should. This is a Heuer Bund with a Sinn branded dial. Movement is the Valjoux 230 flyback chronograph.

I bought this from an avid Sinn collector last year and it's essentially in the same condition as when I received it - which is excellent. Nice creamy patina to the hands and numerals, and the case, crystal and bezel are in terrific condition. I never even removed the caseback sticker. The chrono second hand is a newer replacement but the original hand is included as well.

There is one issue when resetting the chronograph hands - the chrono second hand sometimes resets to the 1 second mark rather than the 0 mark. Of course this just started to happen recently when I decided to put the watch up for sale (ugh!). I have no doubt it's a minor fix and any competent watchmaker should be able to do it but it needed to be disclosed nonetheless.

Asking $1600 head only shipped and insured in CONUS. Payment via Paypal with a verified address. Buyers to cover fees. Open to international deals but all shipping and import costs are the responsibility of the buyer.

For reference, all of the variants of the Heuer Bund, including the Sinn branded versions, are described here:
