I have a grail inbound, and thus am posting what has been my absolute favorite watch. For sale is my Sinn 356 Tritium Dial - super rare. For those who aren’t in the know, the 356 is a classic Valjoux 7750 powered 38.5mm chronograph. Watch has a production year of 1998 (confirmed from Sinn) with sales receipt from 2007. The watch must have been rarely worn as it is in excellent shape. As this is the acrylic crystal version, it features Sinn’s bead blasted case and bracelet (this initial run of 356 used a brushed caseback, another unique bit of this version). There are a few minor marks on the case but I’d rate it as very good to excellent (definitely excellent for the age). Bracelet too (though typical marks on the clasp from use) with minimal marks and no noticeable stretch. The T Swiss (tritium) dial is just starting to turn a creamy tone, but also shines very bright at night (and holds charge like you’d expect a new watch to). The 356 is still made today, and is nearly identical to the one I have, except they’re now using Sellita movements and, of course, no longer use Tritium dial and hands. Also, German only day wheel on this one. I had the watch serviced by Aaron Recksiek at Mt Olympus Clocks in Utah. Full movement and case service, new Acrylic crystal and crown from Sinn. Runs at around -3s/day on wrist (service was done a little less than a year ago). Under a loupe, you can see a tiny black mark on the dial on the 6oclock sub register, from where the hand was popped off. It literally took me a year to notice it, but I wanted to call this out. Includes full kit, inner and outer box, warranty card, extra links for bracelet (currently sized for around 6.75” wrist).
The 356 is an absolute classic, but one with Tritium dial, 7750 Movement, brushed caseback, makes this next level - way cooler than any of the new versions IMO. Price dropped to $2500, selling within CONUS.
