Sinn 6012vsDan Henry 1972

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.

Owners widely praise the Dan Henry 1972 Maverick for its cool retro style, 12-hour chronograph, sapphire crystal, and comfortable 40mm-equivalent wearability. The distinct chrono pusher clicks and the unique ability to turn off the running seconds are also noted strengths. However, the lume is not bright or evenly applied, and the alarm feature is considered poorly executed, with a quiet, short-lived alarm and a difficult-to-use pusher. One owner reported a negative customer service experience involving a dead quartz movement. Overall, owners rate the Dan Henry 1972 highly for its retro styling and value despite noted shortcomings in its lume and alarm functionality.
