Worth the wait though, best one of theirs that I’ve had. Someone in my local group managed to get the Copper one, can't wait to see it in the metal once lockdown gets fully lifted here. How does it feel on the wrist? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I want a full report on the bezel! That's the only thing that kept me from buying. I have several Steinys but none with a ceramic bezel, and the engravings on this, I just don't know. Otherwise I imagine it's just fabulous in every way, love the color, love the hands and the central blackout, love the 6 o'clock date Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The difference is the Squale bezel is not lumed. The Steiny is. The bezel feels great. Tight, lovely 120 clicks and glows like a torch. Titanium case caresses the wrist without any weight. Got to love this version of the Batman. I will get closer shots for you this weekend when I have the time of the bezel. 47 minutes ago, brang1 said: No, had this one for a while old mate Don’t mess with us Mexicans mate, unless you want to end up headless hanging from a bridge You just take care of the virus mate, and keep safe. You can come hang with us in the lovely winter sunshine when the borders are open. Meanwhile, the sea surf is surprisingly warm this time of the year! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Look forward to hearing/seeing more, I'm just not sure about those bezel numbers. Of course the Squale I ordered you either love or hate, something about it drew me. Something tells me I'll end up with the Steiny Titanium Batman too, eventually! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Squales are so well put together too. Real tool watches. But they are different from the Stieny. So no issue in getting different. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How does it feel on the wrist? I had the Copper, it underwhelmed me in real life. Looked amazing on pictures but felt a little brown coloured in real life. Finish and design are awesome though. The Titanium of the GMT is brilliant and it just disappears on the wrist. Swapped the black strap from the slate 17.06 onto it and I love it. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GulfGT40 3,162 Posted June 27, 2020 Picked this one up for 'gate money from a secondhand dealer in a regional area a couple of hours from home. We'd been going too and frow on it for a few weeks and today she finally conceded none of the local dairy farmers were likely to buy it It ticks a few boxes for me, first watch with roman numerals, working moonphase and day/ date/ month complications. Very pleased with it. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
