Case Shared with Sinn or Arctos ? ? ?
In Response To: Re: Thank you so much for sharing these pictures ()

Dave:

I am not too familiar with those models. I have seen them from time to time, but never focused carefully on the cases. I have heard suggestions that the AMI case is shared by / similar to the Sinn 157, Sinn 144 and Arctos. It would be great to compare them, in the metal. Otherwise, maybe we can do the analysis with photos and detailed measurements.

: This one looks to be the perfect fit. An issued watch in reasonable

: I have also always wondered whether it shares the same case with
: the Arctos/Tengler Bund chronos, or for that matter the Sinn
: 157/B&R M2, all of which look remarkably similar. Any clues?

: Cheers
