And maybe even a Martha's Vineyard.... You know you're getting old when watches that still feel like a recent purchase are discontinued and beginning to look vintage and patinated Very nice indeed . . . .. one of Steinhart's highly rated Premium Watches . . . . . . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was a purchase from Reg a few years ago and is just a simple quartz version but, as always with Reg, very solid build. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm looking at one on Da Gate - also quartz, it must be the same factory seeing as they appear identical and there is a rose gold choice. I can't imagine there would be competing versions - thanks for the info, just wanted to be sure it wasn't total junk. Here's the LINK . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really wanted it in SS but Reg only had rose gold left so I thought I'd try it, plus the date wheel on mine is in black. Never wear it and will probably end up in M2M? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
