What do you think of the new Steinhart Le Mans

Recommended Posts

I don't like it only because it's such a direct copy of the Tag Monaco. I gotta say, Steinhart's lack of creativity is disappointing.

 

Does steinhart have a watch that isn't a copy of someone else's design?.

 

Not sure, but I don't believe their Apollon auto is a copy of another manufacturer?

I've got to say that Noob Factory's lack of creativity is disappointing

 

Amen

To me this watch does not look at all as a Tag Carrera, if we would be walking around those lines then a zenith el capitan and a glashutte original senator are basically the same. Some people trash steinhart for their homages but they do have several of their own and its a respectable watch manufacturer.

A bit "Michel Vaillant" for me.

Looks a little kiddy maybe. Can't say for sure, might look great on the wrist!

The dial and the hands are cool. Kind of reminds me of herbie the love bug though.

Gross imo. Brash but unoriginal colour scheme, rubbish cb, case isnt as well designed as a Monaco, hands are an eye sore, movement is cool, though.

 

If I want a nice manual chrono id rather a speedy.

 

TAG + Panerai = this bag of sick

lack of creativity in a gen watch company??????????? oh noeeeeeesss

 

note BP FF --> Rolex Sub etc; AP RO --> PP Nauti ---> VCO / IWC Ingy... nothing new here, using famous designs and just re-tweaking it

 

Good old original 50s blancpain, 2 years before the 1st sub I believe? Was GG responsible for the vco?

Yeah, the original 36mm one i believe that looked great until iwc redesigned it recently, relatively. Clowns.

 

Steinhart could do with a designer of actual talent. Digging up gg now he'd do a better job than whoever was responsible to this

Gulf colours belong on a Tag Monaco or a Gulf car.

Those subdials are horrible: I hate the 9 subdial markers, they make the subdial look unbalanced to me.

Really don't like the "LE" number as a "faux subdial" at 3.

That caseback.

Case would look better without the hex bolts.

 

Not feeling it at all and it seems ridiculously expensive to me.

 

But then, I'm not a Steinhart fan generally...

I own 2 TAG Monaco (classic LeMans & "24 Concept") and different B&R and when i saw this watch it has been my 1st reaction : a good and modern combination of both world (except for the caseback : ugly !)
