- Check out the beautiful 4K side-by-side shots of both of these watches!!
In this video i had the opportunity to get both the 670€ Steinhart Ocean GMT 500m and the 8900€ Rolex GMT Master 2 Batman in my hands to see how they compare. Of course these watches play in different leagues, but what i want to show here is that the Steinhart Ocean GMT is really different as a hole watch, due to many different small differences to the elegant Rolex Batman. It really goes much more for the tool watch look and is arguably a more sporty and rugged watch.
Big thanks as always to Watchour Luxembourg for allowing us to film this beautiful watch.
if you are interested be quick as this watch is definitely hot as you all know:

Great to see the side by side comparisons
the fact that steinhart is able to stand on its own against a rolex which is at least 10 times more expensive than it, speaks volumes for the watch.
I have the Steinhart and love it. My days of buying Rolexes are over. When I bought my last Rolex paid 15% off list. Still expensive but tolerable. But Rolex pricing, waitlists and AD bs these days is a complete turnoff. Just bought my second Steinhart- the Adventure and it is also an excellent value.
Good on you! Totally get it
I agree. Same thing with me. I sold my rolex sub a while ago and was in the market for another rolex sub. When I walked into the AD to buy another one, they told me I had no chance and to just move on and buy something else. I was shocked, I said what my money isn't good enough for you? Left the AD, went online and bought a Steinhart. I would buy 20 steinharts before I ever would buy another rolex again after being treated like a low life.
TOTAL agreement. I used ot own three Rolexes. Now I own two Steinharts and, honestly, they are BETTER watches than my 70s era Rollies. I love them. Steinhart for the win! Rolex prices and avaiability games are just ridiculous.
Rolex is for the ego. Steinhart is for the heart ( and the logic price value ratio 😅 )
Two points: Steinhart shown is about $750 USD and is ready to purchase now.
I like how he is comparing them as if you could buy it at retail anymore
I just bought a Steinhart 39 ocean premium exactly like this one, I loved the design, specifically the divergences from the Rolex, I don't really like homages watches and I think this is a great step for the Steinhart, I really hoping to see them distancing fron this copy/paste politics, it gives much more character for the brand. This comparison shows that.
Thank you that’s exactly what we wanted to show here! When you take all the small changes it is definitely more unique compared to others. Unfortunately it looks like their 1:1 homages are pretty popular so Steinhart will probably stick to that.
Super interesting comparison! Highly valuable content your are creating here guys, keep up the good work!
How flattering, thank you 😊
Frankly I wouldn't be prepared to either go around begging ADs for a Rolex or paying flippers a huge profit for a second hand one.
During the 80's/90's I wanted a Rolex...until I bought a Seamaster and I'm so glad I did as I'm an Omega guy now.
What I did do is buy a Steinhart Vintage Sub based on the Royal Navy issue (currently going in auction for around $140,000) and its my beater. Superb vintage look.
They are great 😉
Thanks for the comment
Great side-by-side video. Got the Steinhart 42mm titanium version. And I love it! And I agree about it having its own personality/style next to the rolex.
Nice how do you like the 42mm? For me it’s a little too big 😊
@@TheWatchScientists fits me perfect. I was hesitant about getting the titanium over the stainless steel. But for me having and active lifestyle it has that rugged tough look but still stylish to wear at meetings or enjoying a night out somewhere fancy.
Perfect! Sounds like it has really grown on you 😉 i also love to wear mine, just like you say it’s very versatile
@@TheWatchScientists Me too have titanium version, the only thing In dislike is the non bidirectional bezel, that for a GMT is a must.
I have the Steinhart, just got a Jubilee for it. It's a great watch, one of their best original designs IMO
The steinhart is actually a unique watch at that price point with the specs and exhibition case back.. the clear caseback gives it a omega seamaster vibe as well. One of my targets for my affordable watch collection this year 😅
Sounds like you have a plan!
It is indeed quite unique in many aspects, agreed 🤝
Hello ! I’m an Omega Boy………I got also the Batgirl………and I love Steinhart Too 🔥 Very Top quality ( got an Ocean ) . You can please yourself with Steinhart without any doubt !!
I’ve had the Steinhart Ocean 39 Adventure Classic for about a month. I absolutely love it!
Very valuable comparison!
Thank you for your comments 😉
Hello Mister,
Rolex has natural image, and is not worth the money, in my opinion.
Of course, Rolex Batman is a very good, also very nice watch.
Steinhart, on the other hand, is a GMT Diver, which is well worth the price of each cent several times. Looks beautiful, very well built, very good watchwork, a beauty for every day. A Daily Rocker, which is more than happy. Steinhart is a fantastic Diver with unbeatable price / performance ratio. A beauty still.
Thanks for the beautifully made video.
Thank you for the nice comment! You are absolutely correct 😊
The Steinhart Premium 500 GMT is my first automatic watch since 2018, and was lucky enough to get one with a ETA 2893 - A2. True to Dona Doni, people complaining about the non bi-directional bezel on the Steinhart makes no sense. People forget the Steinhart also has Diver markings in the inner chapter ring that makes this watch actually more unique than other watches at this price point. Thanks for the comparison video, I believe you are the only one with a perfect side-by-side comparison in the batman version of these watches. Kudos ! :)
Thank you i was also very excited to makethis video as it was also interesting to me personally 😊
Great video, thanks for creating it! I have the new titanium version of that 39mm Steinhart on the way. I've always loved the look of that Rolex but I'm shocked anyone would pay their falsely inflated prices. (It's similar to how the De Beers company hoarded all the diamonds to create "rarity" and inflated prices) 😮 To wear a watch that expensive, you'd always be worrying about scratching it or having it stolen!
Great job as usual. One addition that I like to try the Steinhart is the blue halo that is very noticeable and also prevelent in your video. I have never seen this type of consistent blue halo I'm sure from the AR as it also shows on my Steinhart Premium 39 Red/Blue. Keep going guys!
Thank you for the nice comment 😊
Honestly, one of the best watch videos I have seen... and I have seen hundreds. You sold me on this watch. I look forward to receiving it within days. I always wanted a Steinhart, but did not want a homage or look alike, especially a Rolex. I guess I care what people think. This watch as far as I am concerned has only one thing in common upon a quick look at the watch and that is the black/blue bezel, and logically black represents night and blue represents day. Round markers, triangle 12, and batons are found on too many watches, so that can't be an issue. Amazing comparison. Now I have my talking points ! :)
Thank you so much! We really appreciate this :)
You can look forward to a fantastic watch.
i love this particular line from steinhart. they've got a titanium one at 42mm, one of THE most comfortable watches you could ever wear.
Such a shame they discontinued the model. To us it was the best looking Steinhart
@@TheWatchScientists they actually just put out the final batch on gnomon exclusively!
Great video, it's nice to see the original where the design elements come from for the Steinhart. I am buying this watch to, I usually only buy watches that are as close to the original as they can be, as I want the same look, but this watch being different in its own way is still OK to me. Some people don't like homage watches, and that's fine, as long as they don't say they are fakes, because you must then think that of every brands such as Squale Seiko, Tudor, Timex that do the samething, not just single out one, and that there is a huge market for the 1 to 1 homage watch. I myself do not care if someone doesn't like my homage watch, as it was not their money that bought it, and it was my choice. I talk to Gunter Steinhart often and he is a kind man, he wanted to make an affordable Swiss watch, that is actually attainable, as most can't or are not willing to spend $20, thousand and up for 1 singke watch, which is perfectly understandable, and to which you probably can't get as they are not usually in stock. I think the Steinhart is a fantastic watch, especially this one as it can be worn with jeans and t shirt, or a suit, the same as the Rolex, which is great! a sporty time piece for all occasions. 😊
Thank you for sharing. Absolutely agree with you.
What is the watch in the poster behind you on your left side????
It’s a two tone Rolex submariner with blue bezel and dial 😊
I think the confusion comes from the dial that is slightly modified on the artwork compared to the real timepiece which has a gloss blue dial.
Well done sir, Steinhart is indeed ok 👍
Great video
Thank you!
I own a Steinhart GMT titanium and I feel that it does punches above its weight. Very accurate +6 secs/day, ultra light weight, unique styling, stealth, and can take a real punishment. I like the Rolex but it makes me a lil nervous I can get robbed anytime
Steinhart makes very durable watches! I have not yet checked the accuracy but +-6 second is great 😊
Thank you for the comment
I own the Steinhart Ocean One Titanium GMT 500 and there's a lot to like on the Rolex Batman, but at 13x the price of the Steinhart? Plus it you get the 39mm Steinhart offer a Jubilee bracelet version that gets you even closer to the look. One last comment, reading the Time or GMT time on the Steinhart date or night is far superior to the Rolex.
I agree the visibility is better on the Steinhart and i feel in general the watch is more usable. But the Rolex is more classy and more pretty 😊
Thanks for the comment!
I also own a gmt in titanium and it is the best bang for buck watch IMHO
Plus it’s not a 1:1 homage which to me makes it a unique watch in its own class
Great job, Steinhart is perfect cheep choice, every day, everywhere use,blesses.
I have two of them
That’s great which ones do you have?
Ótimo vídeo
Gracias 😎
Cool video
Thank you!
Thanks for the comparison. I own the Batman in titanium. Rolex simply isn’t in my price range but I wanted a great watch I could afford. I wanted an automatic and I wanted to get a great value. I feel like I hit a home run with Steinhart. I just don’t think their are too many brands to offer this value. With only 1 kid left in college maybe a Rolex, IWC, Breitling, or Omega is in my future but for now I have no complaints. Want to know the real value of a Steinhart, ask their owners. Most overwhelming are pleased with it.
You are welcome! Steinhart offers great value for money.
The best thing i like about steinhart watches is that they are not made of unobtainium
One way to turn unobtanium into obtanium is a special chemical process - you double the retail price and "Hey Presto!" 😂
Love the video! Steinhart is the winner here even though it wasn't a competition. It goes beyond homage watches, it presents a brand new look that leaves Rolex behind in the dust. Maybe not the most sophisticated movement but good enough for most people who are looking for something different and cool at the same time and they don't want to be seen wearing a "Rolex" copy.
Thank you for the nice comment! 😊
the thing is. most of people watching black and blue bezel will say it looks like a homage. sadly
Does the steinheart have a sapphire crystal? And what movement does the steinheart have? Also, How expensive are services for the steinheart? Thanks!
It has a sapphire crystal on both sides and a Selita movement so service can be done by any watchmaker. It shouldn’t cost a lot, depending on the watchmaker 150-300€
@@TheWatchScientists thanks for speedy reply!
@@TheWatchScientists i have seen some for sale pre owned but by two different sellers. But both watches have different movements. One is a eta2893-2 the other an eta 2898-2. Im slightly confused
It should be 2893-2, i can’t find anything that would fit under 2898-2.
Before ETA became part of the SWATCH group they supplied other brands. Now they only supply the brands within the group. That’s why brands like Steinhart use Selita today
I am now in the market for a Rolex GMT master 2 in Pepsi. Wonder how long I will need to wait to buy…lol
As long as your name probably …
I’ll see myself out
No mention of the clear case back otherwise a great review
Oh really 🤔 guess that one slipped through the editing cracks. Thanks!
Is there a product that protects watch straps,clasp,case and crown from scratching?
Try turtle wax ceramic window cleaner. Not perfect but really shines.
Steinhart's GMT hand is shorter like an actual hour hand. Rolex's GMT hand is as long as a seconds hand. I think I like it shorter.
liked and subscribed
Thank you!
If the Steinhart was COSC/Glashütte chronometer certified, it would be an out and out better watch.
That would be pretty cool. But they would need to improve bracelet, clasp and bezel to really be an all out better watch
@@TheWatchScientists Not sure what I'd change tbh.
what exactly is "the batman feel"?
The black and blue sports GMT look
That Steinhart looks a lot better. Pity the stopped making them
They make them now again.
Frankly speaking, dose the Rolex GMT master II 1000 times more reliable than Steinhart Ocean GMT?
The price tag is more than 1000 times......lol
We can see the Rolex becomes less aggressive to improve herself, merely changing colour of the bezel is what we can see for GMT master II......
Mechanical watches are not only about accuracy or reliability, there is much more to it. But it is nice that you can get an amazing watch like this Steinhart for 10x less 😉
Steinhart looks just as good and works just as good I love my Steinharts
You can get that Steinhart in a 42mm then it looks better
The 42mm is to big for my wrist and i prefer the stainless steel
*Batgirl
What is the point in general to compare these pieces? And even more to repeat that the Rolex is better? These ate different things in general. Give to Steinhart 8K to create a single piece, and to Rolex 500, then you/we will end up with the only bracelet and maybe bezel from the Rolex and work of art from the Steinhart, So it is ....strange idea IMO
I wanted to give people the opportunity to see both watches side by side and see how they are more different than people think at first. I also mention that of course the Rolex is better i mean it is more than 10x more expensive that’s why this is also not a video to see which is better, that wouldn’t make sense
@@TheWatchScientists I honestly never met people, who are able to see and appreciate the beauty of the mechanical timepieces, who seriously can compare or doubt these two different class watches. Still don`t understand
I am a watch fan mainly because of the mechanical aspect. I just think that the Steinhart has a great Sellita movement for the price. And as many seem to care about the similarities or differences between Rolex and Steinhart i wanted to show them in this video.
For me it's the same like comparing man with rifle gun with man in boxing gloves not fair and not adequate at all in my opinion
More than that, these watches are aiming towards different audience. You won't see anybody who can buy a Rolex and thinks about taking the Steinhart based on comparisons as such. I also think that if I was telling you that the Steinhart is worth 10k, the review would be totally different.
I was checking the new Omega SMP300 at the AD the other day, and I must say, it's an overrated timepiece. The reviews are too hyped and I didn't relate to ANY of them.. My Breitling Superocean ii chrono feels way better in terms of materials, finishing quality, details and more while the Omega is meh. The movement might be better, but who needs more than a ETA movement and actually spot the differences?
They are both tool watches and should be treated as such.
I don’t really see the GMT Master 2 as a toolwatch 🤔 especially with the high polish, the jubilee bracelet and the shiny bezel.
I think that the older GMTs would be more of a toolwatch.
Or what do you think? 😊
Nächstes Mal bitte in deutsch . Ammis kaufen eh keine steinhart
😂😂 Die Übersetzung’s funktion auf UA-cam müsste doch klappen oder?
@@TheWatchScientists rede doch gleich auf deutsch ?
I don’t have a problem with homage watches. The big watch makers pay millions on marketing and research. Part of the marketing is finding which look will sell the best. They get patents and further publicity with each new innovation they invent. This is a big reason for price disparity. It’s not they have 9500 dollars better quality.
I get the best look and top quality while paying a price I can afford. I would love a Rolex but it’s just not in my price range.
Most of the hate isn’t on quality but ripping off others. Get over yourself you snobs. 90% if not more of the world is rip offs from others. Just look at the music or tech industry.
You are the sucker if you bought the rolex.
