Hey Crunchers!!!
All packed up with the Sinn 104 as I head off from home for a few days!! Bit of a late post for me today due to not having the best connection ๐ฌ. By the looks of it... this sums up a month(ish) of rocking this incredible addition to my collection! Its been a pretty cool challenge rocking this stunner for all of Feb as it's made me connect with it more as well as appreciate all the other watches I have been looking forward to getting back on the wrist!!
February Recap
Sticking with my idea that I started in January, the last WRUW post is a monthly recap so let's crack on!!
So firstly, I failed #0wc ๐๐คฃ ... thanks to the 104 ๐
Secondly, I am working on a review but it is going to be a little late sorry due to being super busy at work and training new staff up ๐ฌ. It will be finished soon
but may take a week to get it to the Rhys Review standards!!!
Now let's get onto some more crazy news... another 2 watches were sold this month! One of my goals for 0wc and 2025 was to reduce my collection to enjoy each piece more. I wasn't going to let me failing 0wc stop my watch goals, infact it's fueled it even more!!!
So the watches that have left the collection this month were:
The CWC G10 (Orange Seconds) (still for sale if any UK buyers are interested)
The CWC Falcon Chronograph
It was hard to let go of the CWC Falcon but I found I'm just not a chronograph guy... plus @Valera will keep my Falcon craves going now!
So after selling 6 watches so far this year and 9 in the collection... what's the plan now? Stay tuned!!
The most worn watch of Feb was... well, I'll just let the chart do the talking ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ
Yep... of course it was the 104!!! Infact I had only opened my watch case for the first time in a month last week, and that was to get a certain strap out!
Safe to say my other watches aren't happy with me lol!
Plans for March...
Got a few awesome things planned for March to keep your watch cravings at bay Crunchers!! Firstly there's British Watchmaker's Day next Saturday so expect some crazy good postings about that. We may be seeing a new piece enter the collection too ๐๐. And as promised to @vawatchguy who has requested some more shots of the legendary 556A
YS... there will be a full week of 556!!!! ๐
And to sum up my plans for March, the #purplepilgrim will be making its return in front of the lens after a month of thinking of ideas!!!
Thanks for being with me throughout Feb Crunchers, you all really are awesome and I appreciate all the amazing support you bring to my photography!!
Till the next shot, Rhys ๐๐๐ป

Awesome, dude! The 104 is such a great piece. Glad to have seen it in so many pairs of "shoes." Excited to see the purple pilgrim, of course, and whatever else you've got coming!๐

Lots of cool stuff to come mate!!! ๐๐ป๐ช๐ป
Bet youโve had a great month with this stunner on wrist Rhys, itโs going to be weird not seeing it next week! The 556a YS is a great shout though to wean yourself off the 104 ๐
Looking forward to next Saturday mate for sure ๐๐ป
Finishing February super strong Rhys, have a good evening there mate๐๐ป
Thanks so much Tony!!! Had to end with it on the OG bracelet!!!
Have a great evening too mate!! ๐
What are you going to wear for March? Oh reedited: purple pilgrim. Interesting piece!
March is going to be catching up with all my other watches mate! Do have a week of 556 planned after British Watchmakers Day!!! ๐๐
Definitely enjoyed rocking the 104 all month Charlie!! Itโs made me love the watch even more alone even appreciate all the watches I own in my collection. Iโve been super excited to get them all back on the wrist!!
The 556 is definitely going to have a good run for sure mate!! Got it planned just after BWD!!!
Think the 104 has to be the one to attend BWD though ๐๐คช
Looking forward to meeting you mate!!!
Yeah when I get my grail Iโm sure Iโll likely wear it for a month straight tbh ๐
Like you said though it makes you appreciate your other watches too though which is a plus๐๐ป
Will be great to see the 104 in the flesh for sure, Iโm still undecided on my watch for the day. Likely either the Smiths or the Heron Marinor ๐ง
Likewise mate will be a great day I reckon!
Stunning watch. Really is. I love the stark look. Gorgeous
The 104 is looking hawt with those steel shoes! The H-link bracelet is just gorgeous! Awesome shot Rhys. ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฏ
Have a fantastic weekend. ๐
Happy Friday Rhys ๐
Terrific shot of your fantastic Sinn Rhys! Great write-up and I look forward to seeing what March brings. ๐ Safe travels my friend.
February in the bag and it was great seeing the 104 in all its splendor. I'm definitely looking forward to what you have in the works for March. The #purplepilgrim returns!!! That's very exciting! Thank you for putting in the work here on WatchCrunch ๐. I and many others really enjoy your content. Well done, dude! ๐ป
Love the recap Rhys! Really helpful with this work schedule. Glad I could get caught up brother! Itโs gonna be weird to see not the 104 ๐คฃ
Great recap post, Rhys! Iโll be waiting patiently for you to post some amazing shots of the 556 haha. Have a good trip!
It's been an awesome month Rhys, not least because we made found some amazing similarities and interests in our lives. But let us not forget the real star of the show.. your Sinn 104, an awesome star of the show and a proven strap monster. May it return to our hallowed halls sooner rather than later.
Have a quality weekend with your family.
I like to read this monthly recap. Keep them coming!
I see you have already made your mind about the new one to come and the Seiko will need to wait a bit ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Enjoy today in the big event!!!
Stunning watch. Really is. I love the stark look. Gorgeous
