Hi Guys
Was going after a Steinhart Marine a complete change from my normal taste in watches,but they were out of stock and faced a wait of three weeks more then likely it would be longer. Anyway this jumped out at me on TZ SC. This is more me a big lump of a watch at 45mm it will match the Superocean heritage at 46mm. Thet do seem great value for the money and well renowned for build quality

Looks good, there's a whiff of 50 fathoms about them, and something else I can't quite put my finger on(I want to say Rolex but I can't quite place it).

not heard anything bad about Steinhart outside of the homage / rip off debate, like them a lot for an everyday beater though.

I have one of these not the same but similar



its a fantastic watch for the money. Always gets comments by people when they see it.

They can't miss it smile

Can't go wrong for the money IMO.

The bigger the better ever since I got my Breitling SOH I am in love with big watches. The only downside is that it makes my Sub look dainty.

As an aside, my daily 'beater' for the last two years has been an Ocean One sub-a-like. Build quality is from the 'hewn-from-granite' school of watch making.

I have a Nav B-Chrono II, have been very surprised by it. A great addition to my Planet Ocean.

Very nice, saw your initial post over on TZ and I like it a lot, in fact I have considered moving on my Steinhart Nav-B II Chrono to acquire one, just not sure I could let that one go!

I'm on my 3rd Steinhart now and they are brilliant value for money and I've had brilliant customer service from them too.

It looks a bit like the JLC Navy Seals diver to me.

I did look on the Steinhart website I quite fancy buying the steel bracelet to go with the rubber. I thought it strange that they do not make the mesh in that size. You could source one from another supplier

Steinhart's steel bracelet looks stunning, IMO, but it's a pity they don't make the mesh to fit. I could see me swapping between both quite happily...out of interest, is it possible to get a third party mesh that would fit, do we know?
