Hoping Steinhart bring out a black/blue or a black/red bezel version of this. Pretty sure they will, let’s face it they’re in the business of selling watches not denying people watches to raise brand prestige. They also have a good track record of listening to their punters.

Update: I have tried today to remove the cyclops using the various methods suggested and no luck. It will not give at all and so I can only assume the adhesive on the 39 is much stronger than on earlier models? I am not willing to risk any damage and so will have to live with it for now.
I'm also on the fence for removing the cyclops on my Ocean 39, but i'm a bit scared that it won't come off and I will damage something.

I used quite a bit of heat with a micro burner, possibly too much, and there was no sign of the glue melting at all. I also used the soldering iron option and again, it didn't make any difference.
just wonder why they make the bracelet this way
No idea and someone else mentioned it as well but I don't even notice it and I prefer the Jubilee.

Am I right in thinking that the GMT hand is set to UK time. Does that mean that when in Oz you can change the local time whilst leaving the GMT hand showing UK (GMT?) time?Leaving for our hols in Australia tomorrow. So time has been set accordingly

Love the idea of a GMT for holiodays, but confused re travellers/desk thing.
Iv'e just had a look at the Gnomon website and noticed that, certainly for the 42mm Pepsi, they will supply sans cyclops. I don't know if they do the same for the 39mm, probably worth asking.
I'm sorry that this sin't much use to you, but for future buyers it might be food for thought.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info
Ouch, thank you for sharing.
I don't have a micro burner, was planning to use just the soldering iron but will focus my mind on something else and leave the cyclops alone.
Thank you, hopefully swapping the wet weather here for the sun and blue skies.
Firstly, yes the GMT hand is set to the UK.
Regarding your second point, unlike such manufacturers as Rolex & Omega who's timepieces, are described as "True GMT" meaning that once you have set the 2nd timezone, as part of the normal time setting. You can then move the local time hour hand, in increments.
With the Steinhart, you have to set the local time first and then the 2nd time zone afterwards.
Which is great in our case, as I only have to set it the once. However if you are doing multiple trips, I can see the attraction of having one were the hour hand can be altered.

Thanks for that, it's a bit clearer now.
I'm taking Mrs Beanie back to Oz in October for our 30th anniversary with a few days in Singapore and am tempted to have a look at the Gnomon shop on Raffles Boulevard. I have no doubt that we will have a quick one in the long bar, so not too far away (best visit Gnomon before Raffles though).

Just my opinion but you might want to reconsider that. Etiquette in The Long Bar in Raffles differs somewhat from that of Epping Forest on a Friday night. Singaporeans are nice people but also quite conservative.

lol, my fault, should have included a translation. Northern folk speak; going for a "quick one" in a pub/bar, also a "swift one" means only one, maybe two drinks as opposed to a "session" (lots of drinks). That being said, when we were there last year a "quick one" turned into a "session".
got my 39 pepsi on the way, too bad not on a jubilee yet.
actually, if anyone is selling a jubilee bracelet, get in touch!
You could always order one from Steinhart.

Yes, but 95 euros is a bit rich for the piece, I think.

So you want a mug on here to take the hit, so that you can grab a bargain.
These have only been available on the site for a few weeks, so your chances of finding a second hand are close to nil.
I have seen already jubilees going on watchrecon for half price. People try things and then decide they don't like them, without necessarily being "mugs". And the jubilee can be a bit of an acquired taste.

I think you should buy one of these half price ones. One has just been listed in sales corner at £85.
am i having deja vu a member on rlt has just written the same thing! Nice watch.
Unfortunately I can't access the sales corner yet. Would you mind sending me the nickname of the seller?
Sent from my F5321 using Tapatalk
That would be naughty
The seller will read this thread and it's their call if they follow this up.
In all honesty, if you are prepared to pay £85 then you might as well buy direct off Steinhart at €95 - not that much in it really.
Well, if I could talk directly with the seller he can find out how much I am willing to spend!That would be naughty

Nice Steinhart!
Homages are nice. I like the cheapest ones though.
Again, not much use to you, but maybe for anyone thinking about one. Or if anyone wants one on the oyster they might do you a favour;

Update:
I decided to sell the Pepsi, not because I disliked it but, because I wanted to pay for a service for a very nice Rolex Air King Date that I recently purchased. I thoroughly enjoyed the watch on the Jubilee but there were a couple of things that just didn't work. These are:
• Bezel was and is stiff to turn and although I managed to fix the issue it is an annoying design of this 39mm model. I also used it extensively in the water which helped to keep the bezel nice and smooth but, if you left it for too long then it was a problem.
• The cyclops is pointless, as mentioned, but even worse, it's very, very difficult to remove and needs a lot of persuasion. You can't simply heat it up and remove it with a sharp knife anymore.
The rest though is as per my initial review and I would still recommend one however, the new Squale Pepsi with the ceramic bezel might just be a better option for a little more.

Tribute to the late 50s early 60s Rolex GMT that had a Bakelite insert and no crown guards.
Very nice indeed, but not for me being a 39mm unfortunately.

Like that and I like the 39mm size. For me personally I would have preferred if it wasn't premium range and was a bit cheaper.New release today:

Yes, agreed. I'd have bought one straight away at the price of the normal ones.

I assume your paying the additional cost for a better movement. For me personally the standard movement is fine, its the look of the watch that I'd be interested in.
I feel like the price is beyond what I'd personally pay for a Steinhart but that's just me.
It's not bad but it doesn't do anything for me at the mo but it might grow over time. Cheers.
Me too. I have a Steinhart Marine watch with similarly outstanding accuracy.
Steinhart deserves a lot of praise for the quality of its watches.
Oh my, that vintage GMT is great!
Love my 39mm Steiny GMT. Very comfortable, accurate and often receives positive comments.
Naturally would love to own the Rolex original but that boat has long since sailed

I like the look of that, the lack of crowd guards appeals.
Pricey though...
I'm not convinced the 39 "logo" is in keeping with the vintage vibe.
True, it's not a deal breaker but I'd prefer without.
The new 39 Vintage has certainly grown on me and overall it works however, I would be concerned about the bezel action and would be interested to hear what it's like when a few have been sold. I'm a sucker for a GMT that's for sure!
The logo on the new vintage is truly awful. Whatever were they thinking?
It’s still better than the latest Christopher Ward logo.
Not much could be worse.

I've had a close look at this, especially as it's being rammed out hard on all of the Steinhart Instagram channels, and I find the sickly, green/yellow, faux aged lume a real off-putter on what would otherwise be an interesting watch.New release today:
