Up for sale is this NOS condition Sinn 103 ST. From what I understand this was a dealer's display model and has only been tried on. Comes on the original Sinn pilot's leather strap, that has a small tear on the back near the lugs (see photo). It does not affect the wearability of the strap. Comes with display box as pictured. I've wound the watch up and it looks to be keeping accurate time. Edit: I've noticed that the chrono seconds hand is stuttering a bit, but it is not affecting the accuracy. My watchmaker suggested that the tension spring can be adjusted at the watch's next service.
The models in Sinn's 103 series make it instantly clear what these timepieces were created for: uncompromising functionality. Following company tradition, the design of these watches reminds one of the instruments in an airplane cockpit. After all, the first timepieces by the company's founder were mechanical airplane cockpit clocks for professional use.
