Looks beautiful Kat. That dial really pops with the NATO.

This is a true limited edition . I have number 279, and you had to order by 12/31/13. I saw a couple on WUS, but I definitely won't be seeing anyone else wearing this one. The rubber dive strap is very well done, though I don't generally wear them.

Very nice indeed! It is a refreshing change to see that size in that type of watch. The NATO looks really good as well as the rubber strap. The black strap goes well with the watch, as it has the black date window and other black arabics on the bezel. It's a very good shade of blue.
Looking forward to a few more pics.
Cheers, Carl

It's a great design and beautiful dial, but I have to agree with your first impression. It may be a bit small on you or it may be an illusion because of the tick bezel and case thickness. Beautiful looking watch overall though.

I think it's all about what I'm used to wearing, and what you guys are used to seeing me wear. I just switched it to the bracelet, and it somehow appears bigger on it. The watch , itself, is quite heavy, presumably do to the submarine steel, and the 2000 m dive rating. The sapphire crystal appears very thick, and the case is bulletproof. It is also quite thick, at over 14mm, which I think adds to the illusion that it's small. Awesome watch. I have to believe Sinn had women in mind for this one, and the regular u 200, which I almost bought a few years back, but Watchbuys never had it in stock. I'm glad I waited . This color combo is awesome.

I like it Kat and it's NOT too small, it really looks fantastic on the blue and white NATO.

Thanks, Steve. I agree. It's hard to get a good idea of how a different size watch looks, because of what you are used to seeing on your own wrist. My wrist is not quite 6 1/2 in., and when I look at a new watch, in the mirror, I see it, as others would. This one presents bigger in that scenario. Now, that I've seen it on its bracelet, it is, for sure, a keeper. The perfect Sinn, for me.......finally, as I'm a long time fan of the brand.

I have really been following this thread with interest, especially being interested in smaller size watches. I just found that they have this model, also 37mm, with a black dial. It's just not a Limited Edition: www.sinn.de/en/Modell/U200.htmReally very interesting about the type of steel they use and the hardening process. A lot of unique features with this watch!
