- In this video we will discuss the future of Steinhart Dive Watches. We will look at what they have recently released and what they might be ding in the future.
As you all know we would love to see more unique watches like the Steinhart Ocean GMT 39mm (Batman) we showed in our last video. - Розваги
Couldn't agree more as I bought into the brand by purchasing the gmt 500 39 premium as well. The renderings you gave should be taken seriously by Steinhart as I also want to buy the more original pieces and would love to see the black/red 500
I see we agree 100% on Steinhart 😉 we both love this more unique style and would love to see more of it. What do you think, it doesn’t really look like that is going to happen though?
@@TheWatchScientists No, I agree that it doesn't look that it will. A simple expansion of the 500 Premium Line like your renderings would be amazing though and I think lots would buy. I see that our choice (500 P) sells well and a big following on Gnomon so you never know? Hey, if you're in Germany swing by and talk Gunther into it!
It would be very cool to talk to them, we both bought our 2 steinharts each at the store in Aachen😊
Love the one to one homages from Steinhart! It's not a Rolex, but has the classic Rolex style at a fair price. The nail in the coffin for me is that Rolex doesn't want to sell me a sub, they want me to get in line and buy other watches from them first before "I'm worthy" to get a steel sports model.
I know, I find that concept incredibly condescending, which is not what watch collecting is about.
my friend has 3 rolexs ..last count ! hes frightened to death of marking them . they do nothing better than a steinhart . rolex have copied many designs over the decades even stolen blank pains design in the 50s . rolex dont have any of their own movements . never have had 😃😃😃 they used aegler since the 30.s
Honestly that’s the thing. I am glad to pay retail price for Rolex’s pieces. The only problem is that’s basically never an option and I can never buy the ONE I actually want first.
Ditto!
You hit the nail on the head with this. I keep telling one of my friends here that Steinhart is so close to being a gigantic player, they just gotta leave the homage game behind. They make absolutely solid watches and they have a name that just sounds as good as it reads on the dial. Im really hoping for the best for Steinhart
Lets just show Steinhart how much we like their more unique watches 😉
Maybe they will catch on
I bought my Ocean 39 on the Steinhart website one month ago. Great watch! Love it. For me, it’s more than an hommage.
As long as you enjoy your watch, that’s all that matters 😊
Enjoy!
Yea definitely. Compared it with my Dad's Submariner and you can clearly see that it's a different thing.
The secret is to buy a homage to a very old model. I have two, and they are unbelievable value for the money.
That is also a good approach as these models are not being sold anymore and are mostly unobtainable anyway 😉
precisely why I own the 39mm OVM
Steinhart. Good build quality at a good price.
That is very true 😊
I couldn‘t agree more. Excellent quality and reasonable price. I truely believe that Steinhart has evolved and they are on the path of becoming a well known and respected brand like Hamilton, Zeno, Oris, Longines and TAG.
Love Steinhart watches,
Any homage to a vintage discontinued model is certainly fair game👍
Everything is fair game 😉 wear whatever you want
I’ve had Rolex before
I’m Steinhart enthusiast. Now
I’ve been coverted
wow that's interesting, thanks for sharing
I thank you for making this video. I have three Steinhart watches. The first one I picked up because of urban gentry like you stated the ocean one titanium 500 then I ordered the vintage red 42 and I just purchased the Ocean One 39 ceramic black. I just can’t get enough of these time pieces. The quality is insane. I’m a professional walk photographer and shoot for a lot of different brands on my Instagram channel. So when I got my hands on the Steinhart, I was blown away by the quality and craftsmanship.
You are welcome! We have a lot more Steinhart videos
I have 12 watches by Steinhart and I love a lot them
I love my steinhart ocean 39 kermit it makes me smile when I look at it and I wear with pride.
And you should! 😉 those are great watches
Fine review Sir. For the money I think this brand is top quality. I’m going on 3 years with my Vintage Ocean 39 (300 M) GMT. Ran about $735.00 USD TT&L, delivered. ETA 2893-2 so top line motor. My very favorite. Thanks!
Very interesting to hear your personal take on this brand and where it is going! You have a lot of expertise, thanks for sharing this!:)
Thank you! 😊
Very interesting,I'll waiting for this.
Great insights! 🔥
Appreciate it!
For a vast majority of people, spending 600 EUR for a watch is a lot of money. Most people wear and buy watches costing around 50 EUR, so this is 12 TIMES! more expensive. Rolex is an absurdly expensive watch, which was previously copied for very cheap, or homage'd for a lot, but with significant differences in design. Steinhart did what people wanted. They made a high quality look-alike, with a good movement, that is simply an amazing value. Now all the posh Rolex owners feel somehow offended by it, because they don't feel so special anymore. It's ridiculous. I am glad Steinhart does what they do, because pricing your regular watch at 30k EUR is stupid. No other industry, has such huge price differences, between basically the same products. Being expensive, exclusive and charging extra for it is cool, but when you charge 1400% extra just for a logo, then it stops making sense.
Watching this in 2024 and bought my first Steinhart. I bought my first Rolex when I was 21 (1999) and I wore it for a good 10 years then just stayed in its box since. Bought tons of homage watches since then, Invicta, Phoebus, Loreo, etc… Steinhart is the best out there and I will buy again.
I agree. More individual character and refinement of their own pieces would be welcome at the 38-40mm range. But I think that buying their historic homages of watches which are simply not available today , eg their 70s Rolex Milsub homage (which Steinhart call Ocean One Vintage Military) is probably more tasteful, because it's a nod to a different era of watch that Rolex don't make today - and the original time pieces are basically unobtainable.
Yes that is also true, some of their vintage homages do look very tasteful indeed.
Totally agree, I have the Steinhart 39mm Military Vintage from Gnomon, it is a beautiful watch and very well respected by collectors, because the Rolex 5517 which it is a homage to was never meant for commercial sale anyway and if you can find one now for sale, it would cost £75.000 upwards.
@@kopite1967 Definitely. I've actually purchased their exclusive with Gnomon watches called the Ocean 39 Marine Blue - this is basically the homage to the Tudor Mil-sub 9401 from the 70s. It's a lovely watch in 39mm, sold with a sapphire domed crystal now.
@@gurtana That’s a beautiful watch, I wish Rolex still produced tool watches like these and not the current so called Submariner tool watches they produce now, Rolex now are ridiculous you have to go on a waiting list for a year or more for an £8.000 watch, or pay double or more on the grey market to get it sooner.
Tudor watches are now what Rolex used be, affordable and obtainable unlike Rolex which are now just an advertisers and marketing executives wet dream!
@@kopite1967 Thank you. I am also considering the Steinhart you have, as again, it's a homage to a watch you just can't get today from Rolex. What drew me to the Tudor homage was partly due to the recent release of the blue Black Bay 58. The Steinhart Ocean 39mm Marine Blue seemed a good alternative because it had the classic square hour markers (which Tudor only have on their bigger Pelagos diver) and the OceanBlue Marine had the faux patina on the dial (in contrast to the Blue bay 58's stark white markers). I already have a proper Tudor Black Bay 58 in the black dial and I felt this would be good compliment but also a different thing. I agree, that Tudor is basically what Rolex was a few decades ago. They are making some modern classics that are still relatively affordable and obtainable without as long wait lists. And Steinhart has brought back one of their classics. And that's what appeals to me about homage watches - getting something that is a copy or inspired by pieces that are simply discontinued or unobtainable now, for brand new, with modern movements and warranty.
Currently I have the ocean one vintage gmt ( Steve McQueen ). This spends more time on my wrist than anything else.
Love your passion for their own designs and I'm sure they would be successful .
Thanks for the nice comment 😊
Bought the same one in 42 mm! Very cool piece!
Bought my Ocean One 39 four years ago. Still love it and no intention of selling it any time soon. I am happy to wear it in rotation among several other pieces. Reaching for the Steinhart after a break is always a pleasure.
Same here i always enjoy wearing my Ocean GMT 500m
Thanks for the comment 😊
I have 4 Steinharts and I think they give the most watch for your buck. Amazing brand!
I ordered my Steinhart gmt 500 batman last week, just waiting for it to be delivered! 😁
Congratulations you will love it!!
Thanks for the comment 😊
As an owner of an ocean 2 premium with a 2892 in it I'm incredibly happy with it. The quality of the materials and finish are really hard to beat for the price. Even the bracelet is incredibly well executed. I challenge you to get another watch with their specs for that price.
Cool to hear! I feel like i don’t see the Ocean 2 at all on social media and the like, but it is a cool design 😊
Yes Steinhart is basically unbeatable value for money
I'm thinking of getting a ocean 2 premium basically because of the premium movement. How do you find the accuracy? Is it worth the extra price for the premium movement over the standard? Thanks for any help.
When I got my first Rolex years ago, and worked where most peers in my office wore even higher-end watches, an homage watch owner would have been laughed out of the building. But these days, my crowd knows nothing about watches except the Apple watch. Plus Rolex is not anymore like it was decades ago. Even if I could get my hands on one of the hottest new models today, I would sometimes be hesitant to wear it, especially when travelling to some places domestically or internationally. I wear my Rolex when I can, but my Steinhart Ocean One 42 GMT, while still unique in its own way, fits my comfort zone so I can enjoy it when I don't want to wear Rolex.
My Steinhart 39 Pepsi GMT is a keeper for sure....
They are incredible
Great review!.does the two tone chocolate keep their gold colors or do they fade with time?.
Thank you for the comment. There’s a few, which one are you talking about? The one with the ceramic or aluminium bezel?
i have 5 steinharts n couldnt be happier with the quality......and still at least 3 more on my list
Which one is your favourite ?
Wow! Love those renderings!
Thank you!
Hi thanks for another great video
Wats your opinion on the san Martin homage watches
Thank you! 😊
They look nice, i don’t have personal experience with them but they are the only ones that get the jubilee bracelet right 😉
Yes, as a beginner collector I'm attracted to Steinhart specifically because of the 1 to 1 homage to Rolex and I'll probably get one. I can see why experienced collectors may not like this.
The Steinhart Ocean || is very unique and stand for itself!
I have 126234 blue fluted jubilee but my 3 years old beater OVM 39 still puts a smile on my face because it reminded me of how far I’ve come :) I might get the Coke/Pepsi 39 while slowly saving up for the real batgirl in the next few years LOL
thanks, it would have been great to to see the recommendation lume shot and link to buy with discount code if possible, best of luck
That is true we could have included a lume shot, we have one in our newest video if you are interested 😊
Unfortunately we don’t have any discount codes, maybe in the future
Just bought my 2nd Steinhart...My first was a vintage homage that I love. The second is the rose gold yachtmaster homage. I bought it because I love the look but would never pay the Rolex price, it's ridiculous. I have always hated the argument of "save for the real thing." That is just a bad argument. Because I love the quality of the two I have, I will now venture out and get one of their more original designs...
That’s why it’s nice that we live in a free world where everyone can buy what they like 😉
Who cares what others think, enjoy!
I don't buy watches to please anybody than myself so if I see a watch and I like it and I can afford it , I'd buy it whether is $50.00 or $50 000.00 .
Well, if price is no object you’ll surely never buy a Steinhart
@@giusepperocchi2979 Here's what keeps me away from buying a Steinhart , the lugs are shaped in a way that they extend horizontally outward and that makes the button of the case sit akwardly on the wrist , Yema has the same problem and Nomos too . The day they fix that problem by curving down the lugs a little bit , I'd buy mine .
@@giusepperocchi2979 I'm not a watch snob , my late father was a master watchmaker and a very accomplished jeweler so I grew up surrounded by watches and jewels to me a , Casio is as good as a watch as a Rolex , if I see something and I like it then I buy it and I wear . That simple .
@@armandojuan64
It's quite reasonable, therefore I think if you like a Rolex you buy a Rolex, not a Steinhart.
@@giusepperocchi2979 You are absolutely right , my friend and that is the problem with homages , you buy the watch and the watch is amazingly well made and beautiful but your subconscious mind never stops thinking about the iconic piece your watch is paying homage to . Yep .
homages are their bread and butter but glad to see them heading in a different direction with the batman. I guess they are taking baby steps to establish themselves further and keeping sales ticking from the masses.
I just bought a Steinhart 39 gmt Batman, I don't really like 1/1 homages for myself, just like you I believe there is space to criativity and that's why I got so excited about this particular model.
I see we see it the same way 😉 enjoy the Batman it’s a fantastic watch
You should check out the Traveler GMT especially if you like large watches (45mm). Unique design and well built!! I love mine
That’s a nice timepiece!
I have an Ocean 39 blue ceramic. It's a stunning watch. The finish is truly high grade. Steinhart truly is rivalling Seiko, Tissot and Certina when it comes to quality for the price.
But it's a bit small for my taste, so I consider to get a 42mm pepsi. The only thing I wonder is if the straight 50mm lugs is good on my 17cm wrist or if it's too large. I will give it a try.
The straight lugs can be a problem for some. I have a 18cm wrist and i think the 39mm Ocean GMT 500m fits perfectly. But it depends on what you like. We have plenty of videos with that watch, have a look at the most recent one if you want to see how it looks on my 18cm wrist
Nice job. Wondering which to pick in your opinion the ocean one ceramic vs aluminum bezel? Of course I’m going with the 42mm for my 7.25” wrist
It depends which look you prefer. I personally prefer ceramic as it has a glossy flair which gives the watch a modern look. Whereas an aluminium bezel isn’t scratch resistant and has no glare, giving the bezel more of a matt look and the watch perhaps slightly more vintage looking.
@@TheWatchScientists I was looking for a more vintage look. I ordered the aluminum bezel version ! 😃
@@stevepodraza6363 congrats, thanks for letting us know, I'm sure you'll love it
Just got my steinhart adventure today. Absolutely love the designs since I can’t get the Rolex’s I want.
Hi I've just learnt about this brand, do they offer polished centre links in their dive range apart from their gold and or rose gold centre polished links?
Yes they do, only one model, here you go 😉
www.steinhartwatches.de/en/diver-watch/ocean-2-black.html
@@TheWatchScientists thanks mate, wish they could have options when you buy their watches, to opt for the polished links
I totally agree with you.
Great video! What watch are you wearing?
Thank you! My Tudor Pelagos on the rubber strap 😊
Beautiful, even from afar!
thank you! :)
Totally agree. I look everywhere to buy the 500M GMT Steinhart but there is no sight of it. Feel it much better than a homage version.
I Love my ocean 39 premium! If someone doesn't like it- it's their problem not mine. I love this watch & wear it often.
Exactly!
Being able to afford one, I still would not buy a Rolex. I don't like their business practices and personally, I don't think I will ever spend that much money on a wrist watch even if I had insane disposable income. I rather use my money for more productive and helpful things, maybe charity even. Steinhart gives a great watch and experience at an affordable price.
It’s interesting to hear this more and more across the community.
Thanks for the comment
Totally agree with you mate. Steinhart make great watches but like you I sort of grew out of the homage thing. Christopher Ward is stealing their future lunch at this rate.
Christopher Ward... a company held back by its logo. Nomos... a company held back by its lug length.
Hi! will the ocean 39 gmt ocean fit a 6.5 inch wrist without overhang?
Yes definitely! We have some videos about it if you want to see how it looks on our wrists. Nele has a little smaller wrist (5,9 inch), he made the short 2-3min video. I have a little larger wrist than you (6,7 inch) 😊 and did our last video about the Steinhart Ocean GMT 500
I've a 6.25 wrist and it looks fine. I had the same worry before hand but it will be fine. Excellent watch btw.
Love my Steinhart, always feels special when I wear it.
They are good watches!
I bought one last year - great value. But the homages have one thing Rolex doesn't have - an open caseback. For non-homages, I like their bronze watches.
the OVM keeps calling my name though. but i agree totally with what you're saying. but i will never have 100k for a watch
I think that was a fair assessment; with a brand like Steinhart who has proven to be an incredible watch maker they have the opportunity to do greater things through brand innovation and creativity. But I also understand from a business aspect they are filling a critical gap for those folks who cannot afford and even for those of us who can afford a Rolex own something quicker and more efficiently. 19K for stainless watch is crazy...industry leaders are saying it’s ridiculous to pay more 8K for stainless steel without complications and precious materials like gold or platinum. I think for now, squale and Steinhart are a necessary “evil”. Love the channel!
You are definitely correct and it’s cool that there is such an offer and i think we are not hurting anyone buying these Homages 😉
Great job, and I agree 100% with your video. To each his own. However, for me, I can not wear a look alike, no matter how well made and value packed. That's why I own the 39 GMT premium (Batman). Fantastic. You shouldn't care what anyone thinks of you but I do. I actually am not interested in the Rolex appearance. The Steinhart Batman has a fresh look.
Thank you for the comment!
And yes everyone should wear what makes them happy
I was a legitimate homage hater until I owned the Ocean 44 GMT, which was a little big, and then an Ocean Vintage Military. They are both very high quality and very accurate. I am on the fence between the Ocean 39 GMT premium 500 Ceramic and the Ocean Vintage GMT. I welcome suggestions.
Well while i do like the Vintage GMTs a lot, more than the other homages of current models, i think the GMT 500 offers so much in terms of unique design, lume, date at 6 o’clock for a balanced dial and a looot of water resistance!
Go watch our last video about the GMT 500, we got some beautiful camera angels that will help your decision 😉
I bought the 500 titanium, very unique and cool!
The Pepsi rendering looked amazing 👏
Thanks a lot!
What website should I order a steinhart from? I live in 🇺🇸 . Looking for a trusted dealer for a good price.
I decided to buy the 42mm titanium ceramic batman.
Thanks in advance
I think directly from the Steinhart website is the easiest 😊
www.steinhartwatches.de/de/
très bonne analyse de cette marque qui fait des montres de haute qualités avec de beaux calibres
Merci pour le message! :)
Just got the 39 904 steel, an Explorer homage. Its truly stunning.
Interesting we were wondering how it is in the flesh 😊
Can you tell that it is a different steel alloy?
@@TheWatchScientists It's quite heavy.
That sounds nice or do you not enjoy that?
I have the Limited Edition Gnomon Ocean 39 Blue with the Snowflake dial and it's insane value for the money. I wear it for what it is not to look at it and think I have a Tudor Snowflake on my wrist. If I want a Tudor 9411 for example i'll go and buy one. This is a watch made for itself.
And that’s how it should be 🙌🏽
I love that it looks like a Rolex and it’s a reliable robust watch that is worth every penny. I have two Rolex watches and my Steinhart ocean one 39 feels like it’s a Rolex the quality is there
Definitely robust, but compared to modern Rolex watches there is a big quality difference, which is especially noticeable on the bracelet
@@TheWatchScientists Agree. the bracelet is a bit heavier.
Got the good old ocean one on December 24th. It runs pretty well, it gains 5-6 seconds a day and has a great quality. However it was pretty hard to open the bracelet at first. It's now easier to open. Compared it to a real Submariner (from 2006 Or 2007) from my dad. It does look different, there are differences but you can still see its a homage.
Can recommend for everyone who wants a beautiful watch.
Would love to buy some of their titanium models or something that's uniqe
The Ocean One is a great watch! Enjoy it. Yes the clasp of the bracelet and also the bezel are not as smooth as the rolex 😊
@@TheWatchScientists but I like the clasp when it's opened. It isn't this "cheap" looking piece of steel. It has more of a character to it
Yes i like it too 😊
I see no problem with what they doing
I think they know their market , they know what sells that is why they do it . I think they will always have a few of their own pieces but in general they are a homage company ...They have been an important brand for people entering the watch hobby and yes bang for buck they produce excellent pieces ..
Yes that is true 😊
Steinhart pilot watches are pretty cool.... Unitas 6947/8 movements...some are finished with additional attention.
Yes that is true and i think they even have a pretty customized (you could also say „in-house“) movement in on of them.
Unfortunately we are both noth really pilot watch fans 😊
I don't get what the fuss is about... Rolex-homages seem to sell very well at the moment, so Steinhart are simply meeting that demand.
Plus with my preference for their vintage models (I own the 39 OVM, Marine Blue and GMT Ceramic Premium), I tend to ignore their homages to more modern Rolex-models.
BTW: The 39 and 42mm Batman might look less like obvious Rolex-homages, but when you look at them closely, you'll find that almost all elements come from Rolex - just not from the GMT-Master or the Sub. The only thing distinctly un-Rolex (AFAIK) is the raised rehaut.
You are right they produce what sells, we are simply saying that we would enjoy more unique watches from them. And i really feel like the Steinhart Batman has many small differences, which give it a different appearance overall. We just got the chance to film it next to the Rolex Batman, so if you are interested it's our latest video. ;)
nobody can beat steinhart ..the same movements grace breitling watches for £2000 + more , for nothing any better ! crazy right
I bought a Rolex a few years ago, but that will be my last purchase from them. Current pricing, waitlists and AD bs are just not worth it to me. Steinhart makes good watches at fair prices- and they are available at list price. I have two now and will likely get more.
I see where you’re coming from!
Well I personally think we are going through an era where every company is copying the other to an extent. Whether they're watches, smart phones, cars, bikes, gadgets, etc etc,,,, list goes on and on.
I have owned three Steinhart watches so far with an exceptional build quality and for exclusively fair price and they all are homages. So for me it doesn't matter if you're copying others but what really matters for me is, who does it better, how he does it and for what price. And if we take a deep look into everything, Steinhart always keeps its own DNA in its styling, like Rolex doesn't normally do matt finish dials in their similar models as Steinhart does, Rolex cases are never as thin as Steinhart's are, Rolex always have curvy lugs whereas Steinhart keeps them straight, deployment locks are different, bracelets don't taper down in exact dimensions either in all homages, screw down crown housings are completely different as well, see through and engraved case back on Steinhart whereas Rolex keeps plane, despite having so many differences if Steinhart still finishes their watches in a similar manner like Rolex does, I think Germans deserve a big applause for that.
Yes that is true we see it everywhere.
We also both owned other Steinhart watches and don’t have anything against homages. We just personally like “more unique” watches in their lineup. And while it is true what you say about the small differences, they are all carried by a design that still is 100% Rolex. Which is fine if you enjoy it 😊
What? Rolex subs are 13mm in thickness on average. They are definitely as thin.
P.s. I believe newer ones are even thinner.
i also think Rolex watches are thinner and at least for me Rolex wears more flush with my wrist as the lugs are more curved. But that could just be my wrist
A pepsi with the exact look of the batman I would pull trigger right away! I have the 39 batman and love it! And I had a 42 pepsi I sold right after getting the batman thinking I would get the 39 pepsi then I said NO I'm not getting a pepsi since it's 1 to 1 to rolex! And I'm waiting and hoping they make a unique pepsi! But steinhart is great value for money!
I see we had the same Steinhart experience 😉
Definitely great value for money
Watch the Titanium 500 premium
No rolex design
Amazing watch
I even removed the SW 300 Elaborè and upgraded it to SW300 Top
I know that’s a great one too, but actually very similar to this if you remove the GMT function and the material
I kinda like both of their worlds. Their own stuff and their homages (I think I own 6 of them, all in 39mm, including the 500 gmt 39mm). Actually, I prefer their homages to Rolex because of the larger mercedes hands (it gets wider from the center to the mercedes logo), the size/casing of their 39 mm watches (particularly true since Rolex is going for the 41mm route) and the option of jubilee/oyster on all their models. Also... Rolex did not make a ceramic coke yet ;)
I don't mind wearing homages, I wear both the originals and the homages with the same pleasure. It's just a matter of getting the brand name out of your head and being able to appreciate what each brand has to offer.
The mockups you showed about the coke and pepsi 500 gmt are killers btw ! I hope they take inspiration from your video. Great work :)
Thanks like i said we both also owned one of their homage models so nothing wrong with that 😉
Everyone should just wear what they like and what we would like to see more of is watches in line with this Ocean GMT 500, something like that render would be cool 😊
@@TheWatchScientists Those renders are indeed astonishing. I shared them in 2 of our Steinhart gorups. Günter will maybe get inspired by them :)
Hey that is so cool thank you so much 😊 it would be very cool to see
Personally if they want to make 1 to 1 homages I have no issues with that but even if it's a 1 to 1 homages they could add their own twist to those 1 to 1 homages. Would like to see the Rolex type clasp.
Exactly and we think they did that one the Ocean GMT 500m watches and we would enjoy to see more of that 😊
What do you mean with the Rolex type clasp? It is already pretty similar
@@TheWatchScientists well I'd like a clasp with on the fly quick adjustment. Maybe a mix between strapcode ratchet claps and Rolex clasp.
@@TheWatchScientists BTW incredibly fast reply I was not expecting that so now you have a new subscriber.
Ah yes a quick adjustment would be great to have that is true 😊
Thank you! We actually love talk to likeminded people in the comments! It’s one of the most enjoyable things about this UA-cam thing 😊
@@TheWatchScientists This is great, you guys need to make a discord group and we'll be able to chat or this is just fine.
I got a Steinhert as a watch on it's own on it's own merit....
But if people don’t buy them there is no point making one. I hope more people would buy their unique designed watches. I bought a few myself and they are really great quality, just like their one to one homage which I also have.
That is definitely true and thats what we find a shame. It would be cool to see more though.
I guess we need to buy more of them 😉
I think the only Steinhart homage I would buy is the Rolex Mil-Sun model with the Omega style sword hands. There’s only a handful of real ones out there now, and they can sell for up to $200k. There’s no way I’ll ever get my hands on a real one. And the Steinhart version looks like a quality substitute.
Steinhart is some of the best watches under $2,000. I’ve had $500 Steinhart be just as good and possibly better watch than my Omega triple calendar and Tag Aquaracer. Excellent watches, amazing quality, good customer service. Reliable Swiss movements. Good looking watches that are not copies, they are inspired by Rolex but who cares? They’re not replicas. Rolex has a terrible business model that only Cuck losers will bend over for a Rolex.
Also, I love my seikos. 80% of my collection is seikos but even their $1,000 presages with a very basic and undecorated 6r35 cannot come close to a sellita or eta in precision or looks.
I don’t care what other people think. I buy a good watch based on quality, not the logo.
I would love to buy a Steinhart if I could find them in the USA ...
You can order them online but i understand that it is not ideal ordering a watch you have never seen in real life
Buy them from Germany!
They are fantastic! Bought 6 in the last 8 months!
BEST wishes!!!!
Join one of the Steinhart Facebook groups and ask if anyone is in your area. The brand has been around 20 years, there are a LOT of Steinharts floating around the US. Perhaps you can meet someone and look at their pieces. I'm in NH, buy me a beer and you can try on any of the 15 in my collection=)
@@TheWatchScientists I did purchase the 39mm Ocean 1 GMT/Ceramic. $650 USD. from Gnomon in Singapore. Bravo
@@paulvon2378 Congrats 😉
I like my original ocean one and that's all that matters.
Definitely 😊
The Ocean 2 is just a Blanc Pain homage, sorry to burst anyones bubble.
Do you mean the Fifty Fathoms?
The only reason why I don't own an Steinhart is the shape of the lugs , they extend outwardly flat , they don't curve down one single mm and that makes the watch case sit awkwardly on the wrist , Yema has the same problem ; Nomos too so the day they address that problem , I'd probably buy 4 of them but until then , no thanks .
It really can be an issue, especially on the 42mm. That’s also why I sold my 42mm and changed it for a 39mm as it sits much better despite the flat lugs.
@@TheWatchScientists I've heard that Herr Steinhart and his team listen to the customers , I really can't believe they haven't fixed that already , because in every review , from every watch channel on You Tube , all the reviewers talk about the exact same problem . I hope they listen , fix that thing and gain me as a customer .
Are you really a scientist mister? 👍🏻
I guess we'll never know
My Ocean One Vintage GMT is my daily wear and it's not a 'one to one' which you repeat way too much in this video. I do not like specifics on watch it's patterned after the 1970's Rolex Explorer II 1655 due to it being 39mm and having the cyclops. Steinhart's hour- and minute hands are larger, water resistance of 300m vs 100m on the Rolex and at 42mm for a big mans wrist at 8.5" it wears well. As other have stated here get what 'you' like and that's all that matters. Honestly if I had both I would probably sell the Rolex for an Omega or put to a Patek. Also the small staff Günter maintains lends to a more personal touch to me.
How can it be repeated too much if it is the basis of my video.
Agree, get what you enjoy as also stated that. ✌🏽
I love my Steinhart hulk
It is not a standard Steinhart packaging. Only if you run a UA-cam channel. If you don't, the watch is delivered in a very cheap paper box.
This watch was bought 2 years ago, all packages were the same. Currently, like most businesses, there has been delivery shortages and they seem to have problems getting their usual boxes.
It must be a very fine line for them. I used to work in Bond Street, London selling the genuine articles. I’m not going to drop $10K on a Rolex (in my opinion it is only that price due to market manipulation, and Rolex have been doing that for decades) however the Steinhart latest Coke GMT has caught my eye due to the quality so they will get some Euros from me. Should they focus on new pieces and drop the homage watches you may see the end of the company so they need a balance.I think that is what they have on offer, to enable them to produce unique pieces they need to retain and continue to perfect the homage.
That is a good argument and we do see that the 1:1 homages sell very well :)
who said, there's a line can be cross?
Everyone tells them to go original designs but then buys the homages haha. I bet 90% of their sales. Then, they try something new like their skull dials, and people say no way! Can't win.
Well it’s much more difficult to design something new, me personally i find the skull watches hideous. It’s much easier to copy the most popular brand in the world
I hew bot Steinhart Ocean one Titanium and it is warch that is theirs. And time from 2017 till totaj is +2- 2 unbelievable good caliber Eta 2892-A2 but im litle piss, cos i hawe exe.sold Seiko 007 for 150€ in 2018 and now thas Seiko cost 500€ and Steinhart cost same that is crazy and i realy like that Seiko. Also nobody newer told mee is that Rolex and i dont wont that also its titanium so on nato strap is super good i use it this summer on same as nato strap bit with litle strech and its perfect, also muwmen is not so hard to service.
But i wudent newer buy similar or same lucking warch with diferent logo i dont get that cos there is so much super cool multi brands who made watches with good muwments and for 1,000/1,500€ can buy realy good watch .
im also in a long time dilemma to buy one
The Ocean GMT 500m?
Try it, you wiil not regret. I bought 6!!!
I own a Steinhart GMT titanium and I would never sell it. It’s perfect. Unique styling, accurate movement, and lightweight titanium. Styling comes nowhere close to Rolex and honestly if Steinhart releases more unique watches that are not 1:1 homages I would seriously consider. I also own brands from Omega, seiko, Breitling and Rolex
I agree i would love to see more unique models from Steinhart 😊
Rolex have copied watches throughout history paying touts back handers in other companies throughout europe for new ideas
Is it okay to wear one of those carbon copy Steinharts if you've owned Rolex before?
Of course! Wear whatever you want 😉
Thanks for the video and insights to the brand. AND I echo, “who the fu&@ cares” ;-) Just ordered my first two Steinhart watches. I have been looking for a stylish watch that can get beat up yet not cost thousands. I thought a Tudor could fit the need but still too much money for the abuse of everyday use. I feel Rolex has made nice designs and applaud Steinhart for making the general style available to animals like myself. I expect my support of the brand will allow the firm to continue designing more unique pieces that stand on their own and clearly distinct vs Tudor or Rolex.
Thanks for the comments! We want to be really clear that everyone can buy what they want with their own money! It’s just not for us anymore :)
We hope you will enjoy them, they make great watches
At 6.46 did a child write the numbers on the bezel.
Nope that was me 😅😅
In a hurry on Gimp, its good enough if you don’t look too close
I own two Steinhart Ocean One GMT watches. I will gladly buy a third one it they will produce an homage Rolex Master II GMT in a two-tone (stainless and yellow gold) model They already have most of the components for an homage model like this, and I contacted them about purchasing parts to mod my own. They replied "We do not sell parts." If I could get the parts, I would mod my own. I welcome your thoughts and comments. Thank you.
Do you mean like the black bezel GMT master 2 or the Rootbeer?
They do offer a few two tone GMT but I’m guessing you don’t like those?
We are not very experienced with modding watches so I’m not sure what is possible and what not

@@ctrader6check out Gnomon, but indeed there is no such model yet.
@@TheWatchScientists I contacted Gnomon 11/20. Their response: "No franken mods available." Yes, "franken mod" is their term. Thank you very much for your help!
What the hell?? What an answer...
you are very welcome! Let us know if you get a new idea we would be interested 😊
Rolex 1 to 1 homages are great. If you can afford the Rolex, buy it. Homages are Rolex's fault. They're super overpriced to begin with. If Steinhart can make a "Rolex" and slap their name on it, F' it!
The only true 1 to 1 I know of is Ginault. Honestly at this point, I’d rather own a Steinhart or a Ginault. I’m over the overpriced watches from Rolex and the shady practices on their part. And let’s be honest, the Rolex Submariner is a really nice $2,500 watch, it’s not haute horology, but they like to price like they are. Good video though.
Thank you for the comment! Prices are always difficult topic to talk about but i agree that their prices are getting higher and higher I’m more put off by how they treat new customers and how many people that just buy them to flex without understanding what great and reliable watches they do make.
I will also stick with Steinhart for the near future 😉
Why not buy. It is so alike rolex and yet the price is affordable!!
