Bastard internet and browsing has left me with some problems.. i am now tied between 3 'value' Gens to get.. all a very similar divers style. I thought i was set on the Steinhart.. now i'm not so sure.

 

Steinhart and CW are 300m divers and use ETA Movements, The OM is a 200m diver and uses a Miyota (not that depths make a difference to me!)

 

Steinhart ~ £300-£350

OM ~ £200

CW ~ £350-£400

 

Im not massively concerned about buying New from the retailer so 2nd hand prices are listed.. the OM would probably be the hardest to source.

 

 

1. Steinhart Ocean 1 Black w/ceramic bezel (bloody love ceramic)

Steinhart for me. Followed after OM.

 

I really cant stand the CHR.WARD logo, its completely asymmetric with boring ass font.

For me it would be a Toss up between the Christopher Ward and the Steinhart but voted for the Steinhart.

 

Great watches for the money, I have the Ocean Vintage Military and cant believe how well made it is and with a Swiss ETA movement I can only see the prices going up.

Obris for me. I think the Steinhart is too close to other classic/common dive watches but overtly not it. CW, not sure why not, but no, IMHO.

Go with your instinct, heck if you wear it for a bit then decide you want a change you should be able to flip it fairly easily.

This is just so you make up your mind on a Steinhart.

I went for the orbis. I don't like the Steinhart version of the cyclops, too big and under magnified IMO.

Steinhart for me, look fairly close to the Rolex sub.
