Puled the trigger on a Steinhart

[pete a]

Well i couldn't resist in the end so I have added this to my little collection, and i must say i am very pleased with it, excuse the quality of the photos, i'm no David Bailey I know.

Looks good. Congratulations.

Mightily tempted to do the same myself

That's gorgeous ..how many mm's and how much?

[pete a]

Thanks it's much nicer than my photos show it, it is the Ocean 44 so 44mm across the face and I bought it from Neil at Chronomaster who delivered next day by special delivery, excellent service.

That's rather nice! Congrats! Just noticed that the bezel is sapphire glass, à la the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms

[RichTT]

Wow, that's some seriously angled rehaut. I guess when you get tired of it you could use it as a stand in to cook a stir fry in.

Wow Rolex look to have taken quite a bit of the design from the Steinhart if you ask me.

Scandalous!!!!

And only about 5%-10% of the price Plus the Steinhart's feel really great on.

I would be embarrassed to wear a Rolex - so chav

The bezel!?! It's not RTZ!

I just doen't get Steinhart watches, as has been said above, it's a lazy SDDS copy, and their other watches seem to be lazy copies of Subs or POs. A £50 Tao or Parnis 'homage' makes sense, but at Steinhart prices they should make some effort, and employ a watch designer!

Amazing that anyone buys this repro rubbish !
Homage etc are massively overstating the worth of this tat.
Save up and buy the real thing.

[CardShark]

Tat?

Copy/homage maybe, but absolutely not tat.

Tat is abit harsh guys, they make some lovely watches:

I agree with CardShark. Steinhart produce some well built pieces, which incorporate Swiss ETA movements, for not a lot of money. I can't see them ever producing watches of values between £1-2K, but specialising in high grade homages, yes.

The Triton range is nice ... Doesn't look like an obvious homage either

Top one is a bit IWC ish, generic looking, bottom one I'm not keen on, not sure if it wants to be a Cartier ish dress watch or a divers watch, but the Triton I really like, and it looks even better in black http://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/TRITON-100-ATM-b...

Bit harsh that, no? Plenty of watches around significantly more expensive than Steinharts with eta movements...

I'd rather have the Steinhart. Gives me £4,500 to spend on other stuff. It only tells the time anyway.

[Hoover.]

well I really like this one.......

"Pulled the trigger"

Cringeworthy. Very David Brent.

You didn't pull a trigger, you just bought it.
