Khronos 1,339 Posted April 14, 2022 Just received an email from Steinhart. They've made another Rolex ripoff, this time the Explorer. They've gone over the top with the font size, but otherwise it seems like a lot of watch for the money : https://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/ocean-39-adventure-classic.html?___from_store=de&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Ocean 39 Adventure classic - EN&utm_content=Ocean 39 Adventure classic - EN+CID_d6026bde5bb621eaee1824e30058d58e&utm_source=Email marketing software&utm_term=Ocean 39 Adventure classic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thediesel17 7 Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) seems like a very solid watch for this kind of money. did anyone find out if it's a matte or glossy dial? Steinhart exclusively uses matte dials .. Edited April 14, 2022 by thediesel17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted April 14, 2022 It's matte. I just got a reply from Steinhart. I'm out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferax 801 Posted April 14, 2022 I was looking for a watch like this. Looks interesting! Is the Explorer dial glossy? I love my steinhart ocean one 39mm. But the cyclop bugs me. It should be 2,5x, just like the submariner. When they are ripping off, they should do it properly. Also the SELs should be recessed... I am thinking about buying an Explorer rep. But I love the new air king release. So maybe I will wait for a good rep... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted April 14, 2022 The EX1 has a wonderful glossy dial. I agree, the date magnifiers on Steinhart watches are a joke. Here are some real life pics: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferax 801 Posted April 14, 2022 Oh, thanks for the pics! I was already looking for some videos on YouTube, but its too soon I am quite impressed. This looks really good. But if Explorers dial is glossy, this also should be glossy! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted April 14, 2022 Yeah, there's a discussion in the German watch forum, I found it there. Here's the link, maybe there will be more information on the watch in the following days: https://uhrforum.de/threads/neue-uhr-steinhart-ocean-39-adventure-classic.505775/page-3 I'd prefer a glossy dial too..

thediesel17 7 Posted April 15, 2022 The EX1 has a wonderful glossy dial. I agree, the date magnifiers on Steinhart watches are a joke. Here are some real life pics: good thing is, Steinhart has really good crystals including anti reflective coating. If I recall correctly, this wasn’t the case with the Explorer 1 39mm, hence the dial always looked kinda greyish despite the glossy dial (in contrast to for example the crystal of a sub)so matte dial with anti reflective coating could potentially look quite good in real life 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jibuti 958 Posted April 15, 2022 Not bad A. but it is at least 6mm too small. Plus no fucker here at RWG will ever buy used Steinhart then , which is sad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You become the last owner the minute you open the box, especially if you plan on flipping it over here. You are a big hunk, a man's man, but you'd be surprised by the way a 39mm watch with a thin bezel looks like on your wrist. @thediesel17 You might be on to something... I'm eagerly waiting for more real life pics, the company ones aren't doing it any favors. It doesn't have that shitty Steinhart cyclops either, that's a huge plus too.

Khronos 1,339 Posted April 16, 2022 I hate Steinhart's original designs, they should stick to their formula of making semi-reps Another pic, stolen from a gen forum: Something is off, but can't say what... Indices, positioning of the text, maybe font size... And the name Adventure...eeee...cheesy cheesy... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunnyStarSystem 7,537 Posted April 16, 2022 Was thinking today as I went into several AD's, wouldn't it be nice if Steiny could be seen and tried on somewhere? Very much agree about their original designs though, they are much better at homage, don't tell Gunter I said that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Khronos 1,339 Posted April 17, 2022 @FunnyStarSystem Actually you can see them and try them on. But you'd have to cross the ocean, so it is a bit inconvenient. They have their own store in Germany. They're also sold in a store in Czech Republic and in Switzerland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted May 22, 2022 (edited) The old Ocean 1 was an original looking design, IMHO. Edited May 22, 2022 by NFleischer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
