Got these two this week, the Sinn yesterday, and thanks to our very own MAH, the Skyracer arrived today. Thanks Mark! Two very different approaches to a pilot's watch. I like both of these for various reasons, but the Skyracer definitely gets the nod of approval from my wife and the couple that are currently staying with us. They love the look of the textured white/silver dial, and the combination of bling and brushed bezel. It seems that the casual observer doesn't really "get" the matte high contrast look of the Sinn, and while they think it looks cool, they would never guess it was as expensive as it is. To them it looks more like a $200 watch. Like an army watch. Interesting feedback.
Of the two, I know the Skyracer will spend more time on the wrist, and likely will have a longer stay in the collection, but its too early to tell. I've learned not to judge too quickly, as the best watches usually sneak up on you.
