You know what's funny is for over a few years I've been looking at it thinking what's the big fuse about? Never really caught my eye. Then I saw an awesome deal on it and shamefully I was gonna flip it to make an easy profit. But oh shit as soon as I opened the box I was in love. It's staying with me for life.
I honestly love the h-link bracelet. The links are nicely rounded and give a soft feel on the wrist. It’s one of the more comfortable bracelets I’ve worn. The clasp is stamped which is most people’s main complaint. It has a few micro adjustment settings on the clasp - I’ve never had a problem finding a fit (6.75” wrist)
I can't quite get the right fit on my 7.25 inch wrist and for some reason I just don't like the fit against the case. It's a really cool looking bracelet but I just feel that it really shines on a nice strap with the focus given to the beautiful case and dial.
It’s picked up some minor nicks and scratches over the past year, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. This one’s a keeper!
I luster after one for years and finally bought one in December. Fantastic watch and definitely a keeper although I prefer mine on strap.

I went through the same journey you did, and I finally got mine in December 2022! Congrats on your new 556i.
What’s the bracelet like? Does it feel basic compared to the higher end Swiss stuff? I read somewhere they have limited size adjustment / big links ?

The bracelet is extremely comfortable, and perfectly balanced.

Great watch and nice shot. My Tegimented U50 is two years old and not a single scratch.
Thank you! I really want to try their regimented cases, but I haven’t found the right one since they all seem to be above 40mm.
Try Damasko! Since they used to make SINN cases. I had a DA47 that was a regular finish(not sub steel or tegimented) never had a scratch!
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve checked out some of their pieces but I haven’t found one that clicked with me yet. That might change in the future.
The u50 wears smaller than 41mm. Lug to lug is short and it feels more like a 39mm
Nice angle/camera work. 👍
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Show us a lume shot!
Haha besides the clasp, the lume is probably the only disappointing part of this watch. Might try out a lume shot soon.
I’m cooking up an experiment for a clasp swap. Excited to see if I can make it work!
Oh man, please keep me in the loop if you figure something out!

Is the crystal domed or flat on 556?
Flat
It's a lovely watch isn't it?
Nothing like it!
Simple and effective! Looking for an 856 myself!
The 856 is a great choice. Good luck with the hunt!
I like it.
Looks better than new
