Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I'm a long time reader of the forum but this is my first post lol. Anyway, I just ordered a Steinhart Ocean 1 GMT ceramic. I apologize if there's already a thread about this but I just can't wait for it to arrive it's a great homage to the Rolex GMT and it runs on a ETA 2893-2! I'll make sure to post a few pics and review when it arrives but I just wanted to see if anyone on here has purchased a Steinhart before and what they think?

I think that if I want a specific design and I can't get the gen, then I prefer a good rep and not brand that simply copy the design calling it homage. I find those watches a lot "wannabe".

But this is just my way of thinking: if you like them, enjoy them :)

You won't be disappointed bro. Enjoy.

Here's my O1V, absolutely love it. Quality build at a very good price. My next gen will be their new O1V Dual Time. It's an homage to the PanAm GMT. :drool:

Chris ward operated in same general price area for the most part. I've read some reviews between the two and they seem to be in same ballpark.

....never really liked NATOs before now, but I'm starting to see what people like about them, easy to change and can transform a watch.

 

Got a lovely orange one on another watch at the moment.

There are loads of micro brands out there, have a look at this list:

Orient is another one that comes to mind.

 

I've never seen a Steinhart watch in real life.

 

What i meant was, if you could compare a Steinhart with other brands like Tissot and so on?

....hmmmm, it looks like the pictures really. The only comparison I could think of is it looks like a bigger and nice Sub (...I'm comparing to the reps I've had).

I have been wanting the Ocean One Vintage Red, great looking watch, I came across two sights to purchase gnomonwatches.com and chrono24.com, has anybody ordered from these two sights. I have been looking for one here in the U.S. but so far just these two sights and ebay.

I keep staring at the Ocean 1 GMT Black ceramic. Fortunately the current run has sold out, so I have a reprieve. I have the OVM1 which is a beautiful watch, but I don't often wear it as I need a date display. (really mean need. I can never remember the date and always refer to my watch when I want to know, even if there isn't a date function)

Never considered using a retailer. Chronomaster are the UK distributors for Steinhart, but their current price for an OVM in £ corresponds to 30 euros more than Steinhart charge for direct purchase. The GMT Ocean 1Black Ceramic, is 60 euros more.
