Very rare opportunity to get a german speciality of the house of Helmut SINN.

Because of a new incoming project I want to sell my SINN 140 B out of the 1970s (~1972) with the specific movement Lemania 1341.

As you can see, it is in a perfect condition, because it got a full service (movement and case) by the SINN Spezialuhren GmbH in Frankfurt/Main in May 2013 (new crystal, new pushers and crowns, new gaskets, wonderful sunburst case and new, unworn and perfectly matching Sinn Chronissimo leatherstrap). Please notice that the inner bezel, the dial, the Tritium luminous and the hands with Tritium luminous are all original.

The rotor is signed “Alpina”. A request at Helmut Sinn revealed that the 1970s and 1980s seemed to be a bit crazy and it was very probably that this rotor was delivered to SINN by the Lemania S.A. like this and was original obstructed into my 140 B. It can also be that it was changed by another watchmaker at a former service. Nobody knows exactly.
Lemania S.A. themselves delivered the movement 1341 except to SINN also to Omega (e.g. Speedmaster Mark IV or different Seamasters), Tissot (Navigator), Alpina (Competition Sea Strong) and others.

After the service I didn't wear the watch any more, just for taking pictures.

And now the technical specifics:

• Sinn 140 B
• perfect steel case with wonderful sunburst (B)
• ~ 44 mm case
• automatic self-winding movement Lemania 1341
• rotor signed Alpina
• adjustable inner bezel via crown at 10h
• stopp-second out of the center
• mineral crystal
• original inner bezel, dial, luminous and hands
• production year ~1972 (casenumber xxxx-72
• new and unworn Sinn Chronissimo leatherstrap
• full service by SINN Ffm with warranty until May 2014

A very interesting fact is that the Sinn Spezialuhren GmbH will launch the 140 ST this year. It will be a new heritage model referring to the 140 B, with the movement Sinn SZ01 (based on the VJ 7750):

But nothing is better than the original!

For this very rare beauty in this perfect condition I ask 2.450 € - shipping and customs not included.

Reasonable offers are also welcome. A trade against a Heuer Audi Chronograph like this

or an Orfina PD chrono PVD (black!) like this

in a similar condition (full service) to my 140 B is conceivable. Please only offer these two chronos, nothing else.

Payments via paypal (fees included) or bank transfer to Germany (please ask me for references here in CTF!)

For questions and more pictures please contact me via email (without NOSPAM)

Thanks for interest and best regards
