Good day, IWL

Ohhh... hmmm day 26 I guess, looking back through the stack. It's August 2015, and I acquired a used Sinn 556a at a good price through the forum sales, and I was a bit disappointed at the condition the watch arrived. The previous owner had managed to put a bunch of dings and scratches on the case, and the outer AR coating was wearing off. I snarked a bit about that, but absorbed the purchase (it was a good deal) and made a pretty good run at a refurb, including full removal of the outside AR coating (a surprising challenge, but big improvement.) It came with the bracelet, and I was able to sell the bracelet for a fair reduction on the price of the watch, so it all went quite well and I am a happy owner. (It's on iyonk now, so it's a keeper.)

thanks mate
yes I did a thread on that some where held me back from buying these models the joblot was bought years ago and ant bought another of that type till end of last years well tomorrows show and tell actually so yeah suppose to be the quartz crystals used in it so guessing thats why they phased the symbol out over the years

but when you see some models you just got to have them whether the old fruit and veg is out or not ant you but only as I say got two with that markings
