EU SINN "RX-8 Wankel-wrist watch"..........

I pampered myself this week with a brand new one.
Renowned caliber movement; ETA/Valjoux 7750 (also adapted by a.o. Breitling, IWC, Hamilton and Hublot; you will find this in watches from USD 1000,- to USD 10.000,-)
http://blog.breitlingsource.com/2007...7750-movement/
Delivered in a nice piano lacquer box.
Very rare, not easy to find any more, however sometimes a.o. in the USA.........
SINN Watches - Sinn 303 Series - 303.024.RX8.SET
This timepiece was shipped from Germany.
I am very happy with it.
Best regards, Ruud

I found a new one for Euro 1690,- and succeeded to achieve it for Euro 888,- (USD 1090,-)
I have furthermore 2 Rolex; a 1675 GMT Master purchased new 1978 for NLG (Dutch Guilders) 1070,- equivalent Euro 470,- equivalent USD 582,-.............sells as a "Vintage GMT-Pepsi Rolex" now for approx. USD 6000,-
My newer 16610 Submariner LV costs approx. USD 7000,-
Rolex generally is not a bad investment; this Sinn RX-8 watch which has a renowned caliber movement will most probably keep it's value in the future, especially the rarer they become, I believe.......
Best regards, Ruud

Awesome find. Did Sinn even put their other Mazda design watch into production? Would love to own a Breitling Navitimer one day none the less.
