Is there only one dealer in the states that sells Sinn? Anyone ever noticed good deals anywhere on them?

I know I've seen Sinn on Ocarat.
But not sure if the pricing is any better or if they will be able to ship to US.

Automatic preferred, and hacking. Under $300 would be best.

Several to choose from about 3 bills multiple two tone options.

@ManOnTime, code GRFS10 takes another $10 off.
So $289.99

This must be remedied, as my Ross Simmons winder is getting lonely.

So I am looking for an everyday auto with the following characteristics:
-40mm or smaller (less than 50mm lug-to-lug is really what I need)
-Arabic numeral indices or at least 3-6-9
-Date
-Hacking seconds
-New or used
-$300 or less
-No Seiko or Chris Ward

I have been this || close a couple of times to just buying a khaki field auto, which is what I'll still probably do if I don't like any of your suggestions. But I wanted to field ideas on something a little less common/obvious. To give you an idea of the style I'm interested in, some watches I like at the moment are the Traska Summiteer, the new Venturo Skin Diver, Smiths Everest Expedition, and the Oris Big Crown pointer date, among others.

[mention]AndroidIsAwesome[/mention] I never thought of going Ali Express. I might poke around there and see what's available. And the maratac is pretty temping being titanium. If I was responsible enough, I'd just get a smiths, but I can't seem to actually get my S together to make the ordering time, since it happens only like every month or so.

Yeah ordering a Smiths was a pain. Had to set an alarm Sunday morning, refresh the website about 60 times because it had too much traffic, then hope my order went through before selling out.

If you had no budget I'd say a Sinn 556a because I'm biased and love mine. You can still get those used from Yahoo auctions for around $850 and up.

The Hamilton field watches and Smiths are probably the best way to go around that budget though aside from AliExpress stuff.

Interesting... Sounds like I need to do some research on Yahoo auctions. Is there already a thread started somewhere?
