Grail watch arrived
Grail watch arrived
After buying a Sinn 104 on a whim, when it finally arrived I wasn’t getting the wow factor from it apart from the bracelet:
viewtopic.php?f=8&t=56638
So instead of doing the sensible thing and returning it for a full refund I instead opted to apply some man maths and upgrades to my grail watch
Now all that is left is to buy the 5 link bracelet and I’ll be a happy man.

Re: Grail watch arrived
All you did was pay the extra, the rest was a sunk cost that you couldn't do anything about. Clearly the right decision.
Lovely looking watch too.

Re: Grail watch arrived
Proven once again, best bite the bullet and buy what you really want or do without entirely.
Good call
One question though, why not ordered on the bracelet if that was really the target?

This was in stock so a simple exchange (plus difference) and I also got a 10% discount on the entire price despite getting 0% finance on half the value.
There is no way I could wait 6 weeks for this watch!!!!!!!!!

Re: Grail watch arrived
Fair enough, and I can see why! Certainly nice enough to be going on with while waiting for the bracelet. Did they offer a deal on that to?

Re: Grail watch arrived
I didnt ask, but I've gone to Sinn directly so I'll see how much they are. I was quoted £400 back in 2018.

Re: Grail watch arrived
I would definitely be inclined go back sharpish and see if you can cut an all-in deal based on lack of stock - worth a shot and what's to lose? Good luck!

Re: Grail watch arrived
Lovely to share the excitement of a grail. I think your man maths served you well. Enjoy!
watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

I contacted Sinn and they came back to me really quickly.
The bracelet is actually less than £300 so £100 cheaper than Page & Cooper told me 3 years ago!!!!!

Re: Grail watch arrived
I've always like the Navitimer/903 so a great choice, definitely an upgrade on the 104. Glad you're now satisfied with your purchase
