Hey guys! Apologizes for speaking English I only just started taking Dutch lessons so you guys definitely don’t want to read my terrible Dutch
Anyways I’m new to the forum and mechanical watches in general but have had my eye out for a Sinn 104. The problem is I would like to try it on first as I have pretty small wrists. I would prefer to buy used but haven’t seen much around so thought maybe I could try an authorized Sinn dealer. The last thread I could search about this was from a while back but are there still no dealers in the Netherlands? Are there any dealers relatively close to Utrecht? I do have a motorcycle so I can travel to Frankfurt if that’s the best place (at least if the weather starts to warm up ) but would be nice to find something closer to home.
Sinn doesn’t have dealers - they officially have “depots”. There used to be one in The Hague, but Gerard N. gave up years ago. The market for this brand is just too small here.
The difference between a dealer and a depot is, I think, in the rather small margin for the retailer in the case of Sinn watches.
With Sinn having set up both a new building for its manufacture and one for retail in Frankfurt, I guess you’ll need to find a nice spring morning to skip work and kickstart your bike.
Might make a very fine combo with visiting the Techno-Classica; probably the largest classic car-show/fair in the world. In the Messe Essen. If you’re into cars as well. No bikes here to be found. From Wednesday 21st of March 'till Sunday 25th. Wednesday is much more expensive, beware.
