    At least it's not just another Rolex-clone.

    (OK, I know the general design is, but Rolex will never make a watch that looks like that )

    There was a gopping LE of 100 Sinn EZM1 x BAPE with a camo dial (and strap) as far back as 2007 or so.

    Currently, Citizen have a couple of camo dial divers.

    Regarding the Steinhart - I quite like it actually. Not enough to buy it even at €51 let alone €510, but I've seen so much worse.......

    I’d wear it but definitely situational - be great for fishing camping etc. I like that’s it’s different

    Seems unfair that they're criticised for being original and non-original. The IG Yoots will buy those for sure.

    I quite like this one:

    Are fish attracted to gold then?

    I know horses are.







    Due to the carats.

    Is that my taxi?

    Steinhart lost their way when they released the Ocean 39 with a rose gold PVD coating and a pink leather dial.

    Love it!

    Not sure if Rolex themselves would understand the 'taste and integrity' being referred to. They've happily churned out the blingier stuff for decades.

    OK, maybe I was wrong then, but AFAIK they haven't already made a watch that looks like the Steinhart

    Jesus wept! That thing is hideous! I can’t see past the Rolex homage thing with steinhart in general. There have been watches of theirs that I’ve loved the look of but I’ve been put off the brand

    The camo one is horrible but I actually quite like the GMT. Pity it's only 39mm.

    It’s in both sizes - so you can get the gmt in 42 or 39
