Jeff,

A watch thread...great!  Love them.  I agree with you there is  
something pleasing about the intricacy of the busy face.  Most Sinn's  
have plain, military/sports style faces's but this one is really  
special.  I believe that Sinn is a German rather than the more common  
Swiss manufacturer and has a great reputation.  Prices are a little  
more reasonable (relatively speaking) than Omega and of course Rolex.
