I lusted for this watch for a while. When I first started collecting, the German houses had my heart. Something about the rugged practicality of German “tool watches” appealed to me, even though I hadn’t worn a watch yet. I started looking at this watch’s more common black-and-white cousin. Oooh “Flieger!”

Then I found this show-stopping copper dial. It was the first watch in my consciousness that so perfectly married beauty and function. Wasn’t long before it was on my wrist.

Read below for About Me. I'm new here, have never sold any of my watches, and I get that may be a concern. I'm an open book - if you're seriously interested, I'd be glad to get on the phone.

Model: Sinn 356 Flieger II. As you can see in the photos, this one has the sapphire crystal case-back so you can see the movement. Chef’s kiss.

Condition: Condition is Good. Crystal and dial are free of blemishes. Case has swirlies here and there, and there are marks on the lugs from my ham hands changing out straps. The leather strap is in OK shape, but could probably use a polisher / leather moisturizer. Deployant clasp is original from Sinn.

The watch runs fine, seems to keep good time. It needs a service to fix the calendar issue. As you can see in the photos, the day of the week does not line up properly in its window. It starts to shift around 10 PM and finishes moving at 2 AM. The numerical date functions just as it should, starts to shift around 11 PM and finishes properly at 12 PM.

Overall - it’s not mint, and it’s priced that way. If you wear your watches often, it’s highly likely that you’ll put more wear on this than I did.

Provenance: Purchased used from a forum (Watchuseek, most likely).

Includes: Comes with the brown leather Sinn deployant strap and double Sinn boxes.

Price: $1,899 (firm for now). I think this is fair and priced to sell. Includes FedEx Express insured shipping to USA. Payment accepted is bank wire, Zelle, PayPal G&S with references (fees covered by buyer).

About Me: I got bit by the collection bug about a decade ago. The passion waned, the watches went into (well-protected, indoor) storage. It's just time to sell them all. This is the second watch up for sale, mostly because some of my other pieces are vintage and considerably more rare. I’d like to move these to get a few positive transactions before listing those.

I know it's hard to buy online, harder still when Seller has no trust built up in the community. If this watch makes your heart beat faster, message me! I'm sure we can find a way to address your concerns with the right dialogue. I'll respond promptly, and I'm willing to get on the phone or a FaceTime with the watch and my smiling mug.
