I used to have a Triumph Daytona 955i. Glorious bike and sounded (as described by my friend) like "an outboard motor from hell".

My OWC would be my "beater" although, like most, I don't think the term is representative. Instead, I'll call it my "life watch" as in "the watch I wear when I want to focus on life and not what is...

I will say that one has to be very careful when inspecting the authenticity of vintage divers. I used to feel the same way about "why would anyone counterfeit such an obscure / WIS-only-interested...

I meant to purchase one as a congratulatory present to myself upon earning a promotion.

I earned the promotion, went to order and was shattered to see them discontinued. This was more than a year...

Beautiful watch. I agree that is one of the best looking retro / re-issue watches released recently.

Eterna is owned by a very large Chinese company which also owns a number of other Chinese...

Agreed- buy it with the rattley Presidential and then immediately buy one of Will Jean's super oysters. The ONLY thing I don't like about the 007 is not having drilled lugs. Other than that I think...

Spring drive is one of the most innovative advancements to the mechanical watch industry in my lifetime (40 years) -my humble opinion, of course. If I ever settle down to own just a few (or even,...

I have a couple 2893-2 powered Steinharts and they are both pretty decent watches for the money, but I'm not certain they'll get to your price point even on the second hand market. Heck, the...

Agreed - in that group shot the MM300 really stands out. The bezel's gloss and dial finish just looks "richer" than the others to me. Not a bad one in the bunch though, for certain.

Well, I sprung for one. I was able to get in on a pre-order discount, so the tally was 470 Euro. Delivery should be around mid-September and if the Euro keeps heading in its current direction I'll...

Congratulations on the acquisition! I still love mine and it is one of the most practical watches I own. It is dressy enough for a suit, offers both date and GMT function (very useful as I travel...

WHAT?

I am presuming that this is a "lost in translation" mistake. Of course his watch is not worthless without the proper warranty card - or if it is then I suppose I had better bin all those in...

1 vote for the mesh. Save the Nato / Zulu for your next adventure trip.

The mesh allows the watch to sit closer to your wrist and dresses the watch up a bit. I could see wearing that watch on...

Here’s a quick lume shot for you with the BlackSea artistically...

Well, it has a ceramic bezel (lumed) and ceramic is kinda like glass, right :lol:

It also came with a thick rubber strap that looks nice, but as I tend to wear cuffed shirts for work I stick...

Who is to say Rolex doesn't import some parts? Certainly raw materials are imported from global sources.

10 years ago China was the world's largest importer of machine tools (multi-axis...

I was wondering that myself. This model hit the WUS Steinhart sub forum last summer and I immediately jumped through the hoops to join the Russian Forum and get on the list. I was lucky enought to...

Here's another quick photo for you....

One of the nicest micros...

This American has his... Number 16. Not to rub it in, but it is a very nice watch.

I've been pretty happy with my Steinharts. I don't own this model, but I do have a couple of others. I've exchanged a few e-mails with Gunther. It is nice to be able to actaully communicate with...

You are correct. For a little light reading...

The statistics released by Swiss customs authorities in early February show that the country imported more from China than from Japan in 2005,...

I own 2 Steinharts - the Vintage GMT and the BlackSea - and can tell you from personnal experience Anna in their services department is top notch.

The biggest mistake Steinhart owners do when they...

Yes, this is a possibility with the Steinhart design. As with yours, the other watch rolls I've had have had a flap to keep things in place.

Just for the avoidance of doubt, I certainly wasn't...

Great looking watch. Roland certainly does do a great job with these. I agree, it is the little things like the black date wheel that make or break the watch. Such a small detail makes such a big...

I like the one on the left... They are actually both lovely divers. I would be happy with either.
