CORRECTION…this watch is NOT a limited run of only 200 pieces. My oversight, I am not sure whether I just got up on the wrong side of the bed or skipped breakfast altogether hahaha Sincerest apologies :) I was excited to see the release of this new Sinn 544 RS It harkens back to the grail Sinn 244 which is now long discontinued I got a chance to spend a few weeks on the wrist with this watch and found myself debating whether or not I should keep this watch and add it to the watch box or send it back I share my thoughts…
