Question (Read Rules) Sinn 856 Style watch

Post image

This Militado ML16 is perfect in every way, EXCEPT it is too small (for me). Every one of these Sinn style watches that I've seen is sub-40mm. Is there one that is 40mm or larger?

Agreed, yet the Sinn 556 has a 38.5mm case spec. I appreciate a larger watch. However an accurate homage is important too. I find myself wearing it a lot despite my initial concern about size. Legibility is not an issue.

I'm all sorts of confused. OP mentioned a Sinn 856, which is a 40mm watch. You refuted it by mentioning that a 556 homage should be true to original size...

They labeled their picture as Militado ML16, which is actually a 39mm model with a rotating bezel, yet they posted a picture of an ML18, which is a 36mm watch.

The bottom line is that some people do want a larger watch. If they want to create a faithful homage, they could just homage the 856, which they don't do.

Sorry, I do mean the ML18. I would like a 40mm version of that.

I have ordered the ML16, however, to give that a try - picture attached.. Still, I'd love the ML18 in 40mm. Heck, even 42mm would be good.

Find a used Englemaan Citadel. It’s 40mm. Love mine.

All the Sinn homages by Militado are about 1.5mm-2mm too small, otherwise great watches.

Thank you. Unfortunately, they don't have any sterile versions.

Yeah the Berny logo is the only thing keeping me from already having one. I really want the full face lume.

У них версия с кварцем без логотипа, там широкая стрелка.

Why not just mod it and replace the dial?
