Well in the keeping of the Olympic spirit this week, I proclaim my Sinn the winner when compared to the Heuer. How about you?
Recently got both of these in separate transactions. The reason I decided to post this is they both share the exact same case. But there the similarities end.
I really like the clean looks of both. Yes, I know the Heuer has a quartz movement, the Sinn an Automatik. But everything about the Sinn watch is better. The dial really pops out at you. maybe it's the gold outlining of the markers and hands. It is hard to visualise, but on the Sinn, the dial markers seem to float above the jet black face. They are not painted on the face but appear to be on the back side of the crystal.
The bezel on the Sinn is much more intricate in it's shape with extra notches, where the Heuer has just flat cut sides. (yes, I need to take an edge view)
The bracelet on the Sinn is also much more substantial too.
All in all Sinn wins this round hands down in my book.
