Thank You for the Research / Explanation
In Response To: Sinn-O-Graph explained ()


excellent that you have confirmed this bit of Sinn / EOG history.

chuck and I had discussed this watch, and the idea of this being a genuine Sinn seemed consistent with the long history of Sinn producing whizz-wheel / Breitling-like chronographs.

also, we wondered why in the world anyone would go to the effort to fake such a weird / one-off thing. I mean, seeems like there are only around six of us who care about these old things!!

well done!!

Jeff

: Jeff, Chuck, and all interested partys. Here is
: dialog from a recent inquiry on the TZ Sinn
: forum.

: dalstott - Is this a Sinn or a sinful fake?
: Chuck Maddox sent me this picture of what
: appears to be an Excel O Graph with a Sinn
: label. We are aware of the two legitimate
: variants from Elka and Excelsior Park that
: are pictured.
: Can this be a Sinn version or just a fake?

: Michael Sandler
: - I will ask the company directly for you [nt]

: Response from Sinn - That's a very old
: version of model 903 with blue dial.
: Movement Excelsior Park 40-68. A rare model.
: Production approx 1975-1980.
: Hope this helps. Michael

: dalstott -
: Thank you and Sinn very much for answering my
: query. Chuck Maddox, Jeff Stein, and myself
: are Excel O Graph owners and have occasional
: discussions over at "On The Dash".
: We are accumulating knowledge of this watch
: and its derivatives bit by bit though not
: much is known. My view is that Excelsior
: Park may have made them for all the brands
: we have identified (Gallet, Excelsior Park,
: Sinn, Elka).

: Now we have another variant of the
: Excel-O-Graph for the Sinn fans.
