FS: Sinn 856 UTC - Very Nice - w/ serviced ETA
The Watch
• Function – works perfectly (see more in history)
• Cosmetics – like new except for 2 flaws
◦ two scratches on the back cover, not seen while wearing
◦ slight scuff (desk dive type) on bracelet clasp
• Has an ETA movement
• Has a relatively new bracelet that I purchased from USA distributor
[B]Watch History[/B]
• Previous owner sent this watch back to Sinn recently for routine service
1. It came to me with Sinn receipt for that service (which I will provide)
2. It also came to me with 3 parts which had been replaced… seal, small gear & mainspring
• To confirm the function of the movement, I sent the watch to RGM in Pennsylvania to do an evaluation and any service that might be required. RGM put it thru their test regimen and declared the movement to be just fine… 5.5 seconds off and 48 hours of power reserve.
• Having had 2 bad experiences in the past 5 years with Sellita movement watches (Sinn and Damasko bought new), my strategy was to find an older ETA movement 856 and have it serviced if needed. (Call me anal)
Why Selling – Have an opportunity to buy a friend’s watch that I’ve wanted for quite some time
