Steinhart Vintage Diver Looks Da Bomb IMO

[bry1975]

Lush aged lume and a rather sharp looking bezel milling.

Currently about 49,750 quid cheaper than a Milsub too.

One day Rodney....

That is a handsome piece!

Another thumbs up from me too

Steinhart does seem to have appreciating support amongst watch aficionados. A few less homages, and a pinch of original design, might see Steinhart overtake ChrisWard by some way. Albeit Davosa still offers a lot of competition.


Should rumours of a Steinhart with a Kolsterised (or other hardened) case prove true, then I'll be at the top of the queue.

Not a great fan of faux patina, but that's a great looking watch at a bargain price (currently)

Stuck a cheeky bid on the other one there now

Nice beater I suppose, always wanted to see what the quality is like

That isnt a great deal cheaper than a new one (£325) i have always been keen on these 2 models:

Usually sold out though!

I do like the 1655 'homage'; clever to do a homage of a piece that only an enthusiast will recognise...

I'm with you on the 1665 homage. There were some quality control issues with a batch of these if memory serves me right though.

Think thats what makes it so appealing, 99% of people wouldn't know i was wearing a Rolex homage

Ocean black DLC, looks like the one in the photo has had sword hands put on it though

Do you like it? Just been offered an as-new one for £400. Tempted for a knock about as it's a) good looking and b) 300m WR and an auto.

Frustrating to pay more than the 'new' price but instantly available and they're sold out at Steinhart!

Worth it..?

Just checked their website, that's 'only' £29 pound more expensive than a new one which you will have to wait until spring 2014! that could be as late as May 2014

Could be a long shot but Chronomaster stock Steinhart and could have a batch before spring 2014:

although for the sake of £29 i would rather buy it now, who knows in a few years time you might even be able to sell at a profit as a brand they are becoming more and more popular and things like the Christopher Ward price hike only add to this

Deffo tempted with the vintage lume sub but want her DLC'd so will have to see might buy one and have her DLC'd if not available DLC'd.

Hi Bry, Steinhart produced a limited edition Vintage Military Black that looked stunning. It sold out, but the non-vintage lineup includes an Ocean Black DLC.

Hmmm

Very tempting indeed.

also stunning in blue

[bry1975]

Thanks I'd only want the case DLC'd as the bracelet would wear to easily and prefer nato or padded leather straps as more comfy.
