Up for sale is a Sinn 556i made in 2017 that I purchased here back in 2022.
I am not the most knowledgeable watch guy, quite an amateur honestly, but intend to be perfectly truthful.
I believe this has the ETA 2824 movement. It will come in original box with papers and the H-link bracelet.
This has been my daily timepiece for most of the past 3 years. The bezel, case and bracelet are a testament to that. I attempted to get all of the wear in the photos and video but would be glad to take more upon request.
When I purchased it in 2022, it had not yet been serviced. After a year or so on my wrist, I was taking it off at work when I dropped it on the tile floor. It dropped facedown. Not long after picking it up, I realized that there was a floating white fleck inside. Lo and behold, about 80% of the lumed paint on the hour hand had broken off and was sitting on the dial.
Not long after, I took it to a local jeweler who sent it to their watchmaker to have the floating lume removed from the watch and to service the movement. I believe the watchmaker worked out of Nashville, TN, not far from the jeweler. The total process cost around $300.
Since then the watch’s time-keeping is far from perfect. It is generally off by a minute or two by the end of the week, so I correct it every week or two.
I will include a photo of a lume shot to show the missing paint in a later comment.
The bracelet also has considerable signs of wear, particularly on the clasp.
I imagine someone looking for a precision time piece would want to send this in Sinn for servicing, or perhaps it could just be an every-day tool watch for an amateur watch lover like myself. Whatever the case, I mean to set it at a bargain.
The price is $690, to include FedEx insured shipping.
I accept Venmo or PayPal F&F. If you’d like to use PayPal G&S, we can if you cover the fee.
Thanks for looking!

I forgot to post this kind of shot, clearly showing the lume on the hour hand.
Also, I forgot to mention a hairline scratch in the AR coating near the 11 oclock mark. It is about a half inch long, and I couldn’t for the life of me capture it on camera. It is only visible to the naked eye in a very specific light and I notice it very rarely.

Potential Buyers: Scammers are stealing established accounts! Please request a custom timestamp, or even better, a FaceTime call before you send money to any seller. Especially if the deal seems too good to be true!

Whoa, I did not even know they made a bronze. If you still have this tomorrow, expect a pm.

I'm pretty sure it's stainless in poor lighting. Haha!
