That is about 3500 US$. Maybe it`s priceda bit lower in the US? For that amount, I think it`s a real hit! Saw the watch today, the movement is exquisitely finished,- a real beauty.

I actually use the "stop watch" function in my chronographs and have found that a 30 minutes register is very much unsuited for what it is supposed to do. A register indicating 60 minutes, like that in the Sinn U1000S, is much better at measuring time. The Lemania 1040, 1041 and 5100, however, beats all competition hands down. Why can't these movements be revived? I own all three mentioned here and they are just superb, also as regards accuracy.
