Hi all, I have bought another watch so this one has to go as I never wear it. FS in Canada, my Sinn 756 Diapal rated 95%. This watch comes as a complete package, bought from an authorized Dealer with lots of life left on the warranty. The warranty card is signed by the dealer with a purchase date of 1:5:2009. Box and manual is mint, the watch comes with an OEM vanilla scented rubber sinn strap and a thick OEM sinn leather strap.

Thanks, and below my pictures is the background history of the Sinn 756 that I found on another post.

I am asking $1500.00 plus shipping.

Cheer's, Jay

Beginning in 1995, Sinn began work to create an oil free escapement. With any mechanical watch movement, the aging of oil, especially in the escapement can create long term problems for that movement. Additionally, as movement oil ages, required service intervals become more frequent.

Sinn's early analysis to this problem provided a quick solution (at least in theory) - if you don’t use oil, it can’t age. The process began by exchanging the ruby escapements for diamonds (the word “DIAPAL” derives from the German name for diamond escapements, “Diamantpaletten”) in order to achieve the desired effect. The designation stuck, even though today Sinn works with solutions taken from advanced nanotechnology rather than diamonds.

The result is a movement that proves so reliable that Sinn offers an unprecedented five year warranty on their DIAPAL watches.

The case features a copper sulphate capsule which reacts with moisture to diffuse and absorb humidity in the watch.

This watch features "Tegiment" technology.Standard steel used by most watch companies has a hardness of between 200 and 240 HV (Hardness Vickers is a common scale used to measure material hardness). The Tegiment layer has a hardness of 1,200 Vickers which is five times harder than standard steel.

The Tegiment layer is not a coating consisting of a foreign material, instead the steel itself that has been hardened using a special engineering process that creates a hardened barrier. The base material is a type of stainless steel also used for surgical implants, and the stainless steel resistance to corrosion is even further improved by the Tegiment hardening process.

Next, this case offers magnetic field protection of up to 80,000 A/m, among the highest for any mechanical watch. The case back is nickel free offering protection to those with allergic reactions to this metal.

Satin-brushed stainless steel case with solid back. Dial is anthracite with black sub-dials, Arabic numerals and offset date display at 4. We have to say this is one of the most striking dials we have ever seen on a watch. The design and layout of this watch make it extremely easy to read in virtually all light conditions.

Sapphire crystal with luminous hands and hour markers. The UTC feature or second time zone is indicated by an additional hour hand (pointing to 7 in our photograph). Watch is water resistant to 20 ATM
