Sinn uses Argon to slow down the aging process of the oil (that needs O2 to proceed), and to provide a ‘dry’ atmosphere. This is part 1 of their dehumidifying tech; part 2 is the copper sulphate capsules that absorb H2O molecules left in the case and indicates level of saturation.

Krypton is similarly inert but doesn’t make light brighter. It doesn’t make the watch interior any more less moist than a normal watch filled with ‘dry’ air.

There is no advantage, in fact it’s costlier – but maybe you pay for the name….

If this watch is as cheesey as his self absorbed, self glorified novels I’ll stick with timex.

The real question is, are these $50 watches being sold for $400 – or are they worth $400?

Not only should little to no condensation form in most any well made watch in good repair, but you also got the water test procedure backwards, which goes a long way toward explaining why no condensation was observed. Please take the inept pimping elsewhere as I don't wish to continue providing an outlet for this foolishness.

How is the krypton achieving this? Magic?

If the Krypton gas serves no purpose someone should tell Sinn at $2500 a piece using Argon.

We also did our own test by placing the watch in a freezer for 20 min and then heated it up with a hairdryer to 140degrees and we did not see any condensation forming. The guy at RW watches said it was OK to try this and if it was to fail just send back for a refund.

Krypton molecules being 4 times larger than air prevents air molecules entering the watch case when the crown is pulled out. Same goes for Sinn watches using Argon.
My neighbor got his RW watch on monday and at 6AM in the morning he showed me and it was glowing as bright as it was 8 hours earlier.

So regardless of what we say or think ,the question is does it work. Ive seen it work , have you ?.

How is a larger molecule going to make it more effective?

And krypton is of just about no utility in non-electric lighting. It allows for brighter light in incandescent automotive bulbs by allowing higher filament temperatures and thus more power and light output. Its mere presence does not make ambient light any brighter at all.

It serves no purpose in these watches.

Krypton Gas molecules are twice as large as Argon and are far more effective in spaces of 1/4 inch and less as in a watch. Krypton gas used in car headlamps and flash cubes to increase brightness.

When there’s a simpler explanation it’s frequently closer to the truth. If the navy had wanted to “railroad” Marcinko they could have just kicked him out of the navy for the good of the service with just about no effort. Instead they went to the trouble of trying him under the due process afforded by the UCMJ and Federal law and he was convicted by a jury of his peers. Might it start to make more sense to think that maybe, just maybe, he might possibly have been guilty?

The man is a convicted felon. That’s usually only helpful to a career in the hiphop music industry. Instead he’s built an entire brand around this illusion of the misunderstood and persecuted maverick who incurred the wrath of the System™ and garnered this huge following of fanboys who like to indulge in the badass fantasies of his ghostwritten fiction without having to do things like, well, enlist.

There are plenty of veterans out there who serve and continue to serve their country with honor and distinction, and who manage to exit the service of their country without felony convictions. Perhaps they might be more deserving of your admiration and business in my opinion.

And regardless, these watches are about as stupid as stupid gets in my opinion.
