In Honor of the Olympics -- Heuer Montreal
In Response To: Sinn - One, Heuer - Zero *PIC* ()


. . . but Sinn never had the guts to make anything like this!!

so is the score tied at One to One, or would you say that Heuer loses a point for producing the Montreal?

great idea with the Olympic theme!!

: Well in the keeping of the Olympic spirit this
: week, I proclaim my Sinn the winner when
: compared to the Heuer. How about you?

: Recently got both of these in separate
: transactions. The reason I decided to post
: this is they both share the exact same case.
: But there the similarities end.

: I really like the clean looks of both. Yes, I
: know the Heuer has a quartz movement, the
: Sinn an Automatik. But everything about the
: Sinn watch is better. The dial really pops
: out at you. maybe it's the gold outlining of
: the markers and hands. It is hard to
: visualise, but on the Sinn, the dial markers
: seem to float above the jet black face. They
: are not painted on the face but appear to be
: on the back side of the crystal.

: The bezel on the Sinn is much more intricate in
: it's shape with extra notches, where the
: Heuer has just flat cut sides. (yes, I need
: to take an edge view)
: The bracelet on the Sinn is also much more
: substantial too.
: All in all Sinn wins this round hands down in
: my book.
