What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Sinn 6012

The Sinn 6012 is a handsome, complicated chronograph featuring five dial-side complications, including a moon phase, built on a modified ETA 7751 movement. Reviewers note its clean dial offers good legibility, though one wished for a red accent on the date pointer. One long-time enthusiast considers the Frankfurt series, including the 6012, to be overpriced. The 14.5mm thickness makes it a slightly tall dress option. Overall, owners and reviewers find the Sinn 6012 to be a well-executed, complicated chronograph, with the primary reservation being its perceived value.

Breitling Classic Avi Chronograph 42 P 51 Mustang

Owners widely appreciate the Breitling Classic Avi Chronograph 42 P 51 Mustang for its retro dial and hands, with one owner finding the 42mm size perfect after initial hesitation. Some owners note the pushers are crisp and smooth, and the case and bracelet can develop fine scratches with daily wear. One owner finds the winding crown action rough and can feel the rotor turning. The Breitling Classic Avi Chronograph 42 P 51 Mustang is priced at $5,800 and uses the Breitling 23 automatic movement. On balance, owners find the Breitling Classic Avi Chronograph 42 P 51 Mustang to be an underappreciated watch with an appealing retro design, though some find the size and price points debatable.
