Excellent (& honest) review, I agree with you about preferring homage watches of discontinued and highly collectable references. As someone who can't afford to spend luxury car or small house money on vintage watches I really appreciate companies like Steinhart and the passion they have for classic designs.
I have two Omegas, one is a limited edition Bond piece, I have one Rolex Daytona, I have Fortis, TagH, and lots of other watches in my collection, but I also have four Steinharts, two of which are limited editions of just 100 pieces. My daily driver flips between my Steinhart Ocean One Vintage Red and my Omega Seamaster 2254.50. The Steinharts are great watches and real watch enthusiasts love them.
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!
Steinhart has a good product . The 42 mm versions are very well made . Love my Steinhart . I wish they improved the buckle and no taper on bracelet . Thanks for review .
Good honest review. I have this watch and agree with you on all aspects of it. You get an awesome watch for a great price. I own four Steinharts and will buy more.
Thanks for a honest review. I have two stienheart homages, the 42mm OVM and the 1655 homage. As with you I had a very positive experience with stienheart. The Vintage Red, or should I say double Red is next on my list. I love a well made and presented homage. I hope they keep making more. Maybe an Omega milsub? 😁
So love this review and the great observations here you make. And while I don't like the Ocean Red's faux-yellowed unframed markers nor its red lettering, yet I so adore the dome crystal and aluminum insert with the "10"-minute marker. I like them so much, in fact, that I have exchanged my own Ocean One's flat crystal-with-cyclops and original bezel insert for those of the Ocean Vintage Red. It took a while to find them... but I eventually did. And, wow! What an improvement! While there are other high-end homages (including Steinhart's own newer 39mm little brothers), yet only the Steinhart 42mm models (e.g., the Ocean One and this Ocean Red) come with fully brushed -- not high polished -- cases and bezels and with only the case sides polished as stylish accent... thus presenting a more rugged masculine appearance as the no-nonsense, hard-as-nails, professional dive watch it truly is. Additionally, I actually love Steinhart's thinner case shape over the Rolex's that has the Ocean One sit lower on and closer to the wrist, especially for those like me with flatter wrists. And I also love the Steinhart's more-tapered lugs that meet and meld beautifully with the bracelet as also did the lugs on the pre-ceramic Subs. In my view, if you're going to homage the Sub, then you must do it right: It must be a fully "Swiss Made" watch with ETA 4-hertz (28,800 bph) movement and with top-notch engineering and design, throughout. And that narrows the field considerably! It also must strike the right aesthetic chord, too. And... if possible... even perhaps improve a bit on the design of the Rolex with a thinner sleeker case over the bulky block case the Subs/Sea Dwellers have...such that while looking like a Sub, yet to the discerning eye, it also actually surpasses it and stakes that claim for itself as both homage AND its own design! And only the Steinhart 42 fills every one of these parameters... ticks off every box of that exacting list of criteria perfectly. In my view, only Steinhart offers REAL Rolex-esque quality yet also with a leaner, meaner aesthetic and more professional-grade gravitas. While understandably not possessing the flashier "look-at-me" aesthetic of the polished luxury watches seen on the wrists of glamorous James-Bond pretty boys Sean Connery and Roger Moore, much less the prissier Pierce Brosnan (yes... I know... he wore Omegas), yet this and all other 42mm Steinharts most certainly would have looked and functioned perfectly on the wrists of real spies and special operatives as more realistically portrayed by Jason Bourne and, yes, even Daniel Craig's version of Bond. After all, while I could never see the real Bond beating a man to death with an insanely priced $10-15K Rolex Submariner held and used like "brass knuckles" as Ian Fleming once actually portrayed him doing, yet I most certainly could see this happening with a $500 rock-solid Steinhart! And I am so grateful to Steinhart for being the ONLY company to understand all these key qualities and components such a watch should have... and incorporate almost all of them into a single watch line at a truly affordable price. I am hopeful that someday, Steinhart will offer ALL of the very best features into a single watch by offering the Ocean One 42mm with domed crystal, aluminum / ceramic insert with the "10"-minute marker, and a better designed clasp (as you noted in your vid). But for now, I've been happy making exactly these mods to my own Ocean One, which now has the domed crystal, aluminum insert with the "10"-minute marker and, now, the better and more tapered bracelet and clasp you have on your Ocean Red. And it is FINALLY for me... the absolute PERFECT Sub/Sea Dweller homage. Thank you again for providing such a wonderful and spot-on review of the Steinhart 42mm and all its superior characteristics over other homages... and, frankly, a few qualities and characteristics superior to even the Rolex costing well over 10 times the price.
i had one for 6 years (bought in 2012) and in 2-3 years it had a natural ghost bezel. watching this video is making me miss my O1VR but I sold it last year as I prefer 39mm diver watches now (have a O1 39mm Explorer now and a Lorier Neptune v1 Gilt). if Steinhart makes a 39mm version of the O1VR I would buy one in a heartbeat!
@@spencerwhitmore5644 yup ive read about it but its a gnomon exclusive and out of stock whenever i check. added mysefl on the notification list but no major urges getting one. still happy with my plex explorer which i rarely use. were you able to get one?
I've had my Steinhart Ocean One (aluminum bezel) since 2015. I still get comments on how the watch looks on the bracelet and NATO straps. I recently polished out the slightly ruff caseback though with 'Cape Cod'. The watch looks brand new. I'm now looking at adding the Steinhart GMT to my collection.
i think you are my soul twin. thats exactly my philosophy on homge watches.. i have a newman homage.. and thinking of the ocean gmt from steinhart.. the one that looks like the vintage explorer II
Just ordered the ocean one vintage for $500 and I have a feeling it's really gonna scratch both my Omega Seamaster 300 itch and my Tudor black bay 58 itch lol
ShaggyOtis I have been wearing that watch for 6 months and I love it. Such a classic design at a good price. It has fast become my favourite to wear. Have you received yours yet? What do you think?
I had this version for a few years, and really liked how it complemented my Omega Aqua Terra as a casual weekender watch. Unfortunately it flooded while I was swimming in Costa Rica. Got it back from service, then the crown stem fell out. I think I got a lemon because I haven't seen anyone complain about these issues on Watchuseek. I'm really considering a new one of this model because as you said, it's an homage to an out-of-production true vintage piece that could cost 50-100x the price of it. I just wish Steinhart's logo didn't look like it was on its way home after a long night at the bar.
Fedex says they're dropping off my GMT Ocean One (black) 42mm tomorrow. (I'm in Canada and it's taken approx 1 week from ordering online to delivery if it arrives tomorrow - and I live on a remote island). I am looking forward to feeling it on my wrist :-). Thanks for the video.
Very similar tastes to you in the fact that I own the ova oris 65 and several Rolex sports models . In fact the ovm version 1 was my first automatic around 7 years ago .and this got me interested in watches . I sadly sold this on my journey and replaced it recently with a version 3 . Prefer the solid black dial of the first but the tropical dial is ok too . Great watch for the money although the oris 65 is a far more refined piece , however at five times the price this isn’t a surprise. Nonetheless the ovm is a fabulous piece for the price.
Thnak you, very useful review. Their Ocean Vintage Military watch (same price) gets a lot more attention usually; this one keeps a similar vintage look with same colors (plus red) but has a date window, making this one much more practical day to day.
Great quality watches , i have a few and theyre the best you can buy for the dosh . I know the haters will go on about rolex copies bla bla ,, Rolex fans should know rolexs history how they used imported movements and different imported cases for yeeeaaarrs . So forget the homage moan you have no right..
Well it’s not a fake because it doesn’t say Rolex and that makes it ok because there’s a LOT of watches that look like a sub. Also EVERY TIME I see a Rolex I wonder if it’s a fake, I think a lot of people wonder the same thing, but not this one , it says Steinhart on it !!
David Sterling EVERY TIME I see a Rolex on someone’s wrist I wonder if it’s real, and I bet you do too !! If the best watch Rolex made only cost $200 but did not say Rolex on , it how many Rolex nuts would rather spend $7,000 on a inferior watch just because it said Rolex on it ? I could afford a Rolex if I wanted one , but spending $7,000 on a watch that EVERYONE will wonder if it is real doesn’t appeal to me
The only watch I regret selling or trading so I got a new one, I ordered it on the evening of July 10 and it arrived the morning of the 14th and its running + one second in 3 days! Impressive I think, the only complaint would be the bezel insert is just a little out of alignment, I’m kinda disappointed about that, it’s a small thing that should never happen , I won’t send it back for this but I probably will get a new insert and install it correctly
@@UptickWatchReviews I don’t notice the very slight misalignment anymore , it’s just a gorgeous watch, And now I have the 39mm Pepsi gmt and love it too
Beautiful watch but I understand why you sold it living in HK. I love my Steinhart Ocean one 39 but I live in Toronto ( Oshawa ). People here think a Timex is a great watch ! Lol
I have had this watch for over a year. One thing that really bothers me about the watch is the little pearl at the 12 o’clock point. It’s off center and quite obvious. I purchased it from eBay. If I got it from steinhart, I would have asked for a replacement.
Belle revue qui permet de ne plus hésiter d'acheter une Steinhart, vous présentez bien les atours de cette montre (magnifique) au prix plus qu’irrésistible (saphir double anti-reflet, mouvement éprouvé, etc). La comparaison avec les grandes marques est à mon avis, vaine, car en achetant une Rolex (par exemple) on achète une montre statutaire dont la côte se tiendra dans le temps, alors qu'avec une Steinhart c'est un achat plus "raisonnable" mais qui permet d'accéder à des montres au look léchés avec un très bon niveau de qualité, mais avec une tenue de côte dans le temps bien incertaine. Mais c'est l'éternel débat des montres hommages. Pour conclure, j'aurai autant de plaisir à porter une Steinhart qu'une de mes Omega ou IWC. Encore merci et bravo pour cette belle présentation. Quelque chose me dit que vous êtes français ;)
Love the shots when the watch is on your wrist my man. Looks really classy! I consider this very watch OR the Steinhart ceramic with green bezel. What do you think?
@@UptickWatchReviews I mean have you seen Steinhart kermit on your own eyes? you said in the video, that you saw more Stainharts on your own eyes and Vintage Red was the most beautiful.
@@UptickWatchReviews OK! Sounds good! My middleman is FedEx. I am in the USA. Unfortunately for me, Steinhart uses FedEx for shipping and charges shipping fees. Than FedEx charges its fee and mandates to fill out "Homeland Security Application". If not filled and paid, the parcel sent back within 5 days. Gnomon has no shipping fee and ships via DHL. Arrives to NY in about 4-5 days max.
@@vladtheimpaler5090 Just looked at Gnomon they are way more expensive the ocean 1 39 ceramic is priced at $490. Ordering from Steinhart w/shipping is 386 Euro which is only $431, that's a huge difference.
That was a good question- I wish he had answered. At that time I was buying lots of Steinharts and really enjoyed them. I moved up in class since then. I bought Breitlings, Omegas, and Rolex brand pieces. I still have some of the Steinharts but have been giving them away to close friends since buying the luxury brands. I don't wear them any more, not sure why. They are a great value and are nicely made watches.
Good question, I’ll check that asap. I have only noticed that on my Grand Seiko since you can actually see the power reserve on the dial go up as you screw the crown back in. I think that what you feel on the Steinhart is just the thread but maybe I don’t know enough about ETA movements. They’re all exactly the same and I’d wear them all the time or keep them in a winder just so I never have to feel their sandpaper-like winding action.
@@UptickWatchReviews it does feel nice to wind albeit a little gritty to hear. A few other Steinhart owners over on watchesuseek chimed in and said their vintage reds are the same; it winds also whilst screwing down. No big deal for me just unusual. Fantastic watch and been on my list since the original MK1,2 and now 3 . Your review helped me alot along with a few other UA-cam reviews .I'm overall very happy with the feel and quality of the watch .As you already stated it was the one that spoke the most to me out the ocean one range
I bought an Ocean one TI, then i bought a submariner ... I sold the Sub, still wearing the Ocean one TI. The sub was a FAR better time piece no doubt, 9k better ? i personally think so ... But, i just like my ocean one TI. All good
You own at least two genuine Rolex' .... and you worry about feeling self-conscious wearing this one? Thanks for the review, BTW, even though I still can't decide if I want this one or the other Vintage model with the old explorer-dial and the red triangle on the bezel.
Most expensive watches are to valuable to wear! Scratches, damage, theft its almost to much so they just sit in boxes admired on the dresser rather than serve the purpose they are meant for! At least you get to enjoy the Steinhart and not worry too much if you ding it!
Buy a watch, and wear it. And if you are worried about it, you can not really afford it. Every watch will get dings over time, and I never have my watches polished.
Can you do a small review also please Vittorio? There are not many on UA-cam compared to the other models . I really enjoyed this review , great perspective of homage watches work with discontinued models
I have a 40mm sea dweller & this exact Steinhart 39mm ,I feel safer wearing the Steinhart knocking about everyday use is it as good as a Rolex? No but it’s damn close,Rolex’s are hugely overpriced Steinhart are truly amazing value, buy any Steinhart & be happy,
I would rather get a quality watch Such as a Steinhart at a Good Price. And add a Premium Bracelet myself. Keeping the expense of the Upfront Purchase . To a Minimum. Bracelet's are like unto that of Tires and or Wheels for car's As Long as the Drive Train is quality and the Suspension. One can Up Grade the Incidentals. Very Smart of Steinhart. Opening up to a wider Market with a Lower Price of Entry
I just picked one of these up for $300... the clasp seems to be the biggest complaint, but there is a cheap fix. Buy a $30 submariner clasp from strapcode and you’re off to the races.
A Rolex makes you feel special? Why? Rolex couldn‘t sell you a watch like this, even if they wanted to. It‘s made after the Rolex Seadweller Double Red, which was produced and sold in the 70s. Today it costs you between 40.000 and 60.000 dollars, that depends on the condition the watch is in. If you can find one, that is... The Steinhart Vintage Red is a great watch, if you can tolerate a bad quality control, concerning mostly bezel insert and date wheel. They are almost never aligned properly. The watch itself runs great (better than my Submariner), and with the new Steinhart jubilee it‘s great to wear it. And if someone tries to tell you he feels a difference wearing Steinhart or Rolex, it‘s nonsense. Try to grab one of the first batch with green lume. The fake lume on the later VR looks terrible, and they changed the red lettering after the first batch, which looks terrible, too.
You want to sell yours? Let me know. I want one and have $400.00 US I am afraid something is going to happen. And I will have to spend the money one something else. I think I need $460.00 US to buy it from stienhart
Excellent comment regarding "If ROLEX doesn't want to sell me one,,, I have to get my fix elsewhere..." Well said.
good
Indeed I did
“Don’t judge a watch too harshly until it’s on your wrist” great line right there. Excellent video, thanks!
Totally agree Sir. Those are wise words.
Excellent (& honest) review, I agree with you about preferring homage watches of discontinued and highly collectable references. As someone who can't afford to spend luxury car or small house money on vintage watches I really appreciate companies like Steinhart and the passion they have for classic designs.
I just bought my first Steinhart, Diver One titanium 500. I really love it.
A watch made by watch lovers for watch lovers; how could you go possibly wrong ! Good value for your money.
I have two Omegas, one is a limited edition Bond piece, I have one Rolex Daytona, I have Fortis, TagH, and lots of other watches in my collection, but I also have four Steinharts, two of which are limited editions of just 100 pieces. My daily driver flips between my Steinhart Ocean One Vintage Red and my Omega Seamaster 2254.50. The Steinharts are great watches and real watch enthusiasts love them.
A really enjoyable review and perspective on the Steinhart you have. Thanks 🙏
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!
Great review. Really like the verbal comparison with Oris/Seiko. Thanks.
Steinhart has a good product . The 42 mm versions are very well made .
Love my Steinhart . I wish they improved the buckle and no taper on bracelet .
Thanks for review .
I like your review. I have two Steinharts and love them. The quality is outstanding. Only complaint is the clasp.
Good honest review. I have this watch and agree with you on all aspects of it. You get an awesome watch for a great price. I own four Steinharts and will buy more.

Great review i have many steintharts and enjoy them all and have just ordered this vintage model to add to my collection
Thanks for this video. Even I reside in HK, I feel Rolex is just over rated. This gave me a new perspective.

100% why I'm here!
I dig these watches. Had my Ocean One Black for a year and I hate to take it off.

I just ordered one!! Thanks for the great review! 🍻
i have three theyre solid solid watches ..be carefull you dont get the bug ,, its a nightmare wondering which to wear 😁😁😁
Beautiful watch but I understand why you sold it living in HK. I love my Steinhart Ocean one 39 but I live in Toronto ( Oshawa ). People here think a Timex is a great watch ! Lol
The 42 mm model was too big for his wrist, I guess. And I like my Ocean One 39 ceramic too :)
First class review ....made me want one
Does it have gilt hands? I can’t tell from the video.
I have had this watch for over a year. One thing that really bothers me about the watch is the little pearl at the 12 o’clock point. It’s off center and quite obvious. I purchased it from eBay. If I got it from steinhart, I would have asked for a replacement.
Great review. So did you manage to see the OVR and the OVM mk3 side by side?
I believe Charles Bronson wears the original with this color combo in the movie The Mechanic during a diving scene.

Love the shots when the watch is on your wrist my man. Looks really classy! I consider this very watch OR the Steinhart ceramic with green bezel. What do you think?
Whichever you choose the brand seems to put the same effort in quality
@@UptickWatchReviews I mean have you seen Steinhart kermit on your own eyes? you said in the video, that you saw more Stainharts on your own eyes and Vintage Red was the most beautiful.
Do you think it will fit a 6.5 inch wrist?
which version is this? Steinheart’s website says coming soon?
Ocean vintage red, can't miss it.
I have a similar one and I love it! Excellent watch! Why you did not buy it from Gnomon? It is geographically closer to you.
Vlad TheImpaler Steinhart is so efficient, two day delivery with tracking. Way to cut the middleman.
@@UptickWatchReviews OK! Sounds good! My middleman is FedEx. I am in the USA. Unfortunately for me, Steinhart uses FedEx for shipping and charges shipping fees. Than FedEx charges its fee and mandates to fill out "Homeland Security Application". If not filled and paid, the parcel sent back within 5 days. Gnomon has no shipping fee and ships via DHL. Arrives to NY in about 4-5 days max.
@@vladtheimpaler5090 Seriously, I had no idea you had to jump through so many hoops
@@vladtheimpaler5090 Just looked at Gnomon they are way more expensive the ocean 1 39 ceramic is priced at $490. Ordering from Steinhart w/shipping is 386 Euro which is only $431, that's a huge difference.
@@limirl agree
Beautiful piece, Rolex should be making such pieces
They did and now they moved on
really enjoing your video - its great storytelling. I'm curious; Given that the video is from 2019.. do you still own the Steinhart?
That was a good question- I wish he had answered. At that time I was buying lots of Steinharts and really enjoyed them. I moved up in class since then. I bought Breitlings, Omegas, and Rolex brand pieces. I still have some of the Steinharts but have been giving them away to close friends since buying the luxury brands. I don't wear them any more, not sure why. They are a great value and are nicely made watches.
Great review thank you. Well ,after all the reviews I have researched on Steinhart, I am going for this one. Cheers
How do you feel about the watch now? Do you still like it?
I feel some distance between us... as I sold it, it I do kinda miss it. They do it as good as one can possibly expect for that price.
I've bought this watch, how do i make the dial's lume light up?
Just step outside in the sun or stick it under a lamp a few seconds.
Great review...Mine arrived, beautiful watch. One question does your watch handwind when screwing the crown back in ?
Good question, I’ll check that asap. I have only noticed that on my Grand Seiko since you can actually see the power reserve on the dial go up as you screw the crown back in. I think that what you feel on the Steinhart is just the thread but maybe I don’t know enough about ETA movements. They’re all exactly the same and I’d wear them all the time or keep them in a winder just so I never have to feel their sandpaper-like winding action.
@@UptickWatchReviews it does feel nice to wind albeit a little gritty to hear. A few other Steinhart owners over on watchesuseek chimed in and said their vintage reds are the same; it winds also whilst screwing down. No big deal for me just unusual. Fantastic watch and been on my list since the original MK1,2 and now 3 . Your review helped me alot along with a few other UA-cam reviews .I'm overall very happy with the feel and quality of the watch .As you already stated it was the one that spoke the most to me out the ocean one range
@@bruh_oly1370 The same thing happens to the Orient Ray 2
Love this model.
I bought an Ocean one TI, then i bought a submariner ... I sold the Sub, still wearing the Ocean one TI. The sub was a FAR better time piece no doubt, 9k better ? i personally think so ... But, i just like my ocean one TI. All good
CRsportfishing.ca Gotta wear what you love, no wrist time to waste indeed.
Wow calling the Oris a toy. Bold call. Thank you for this review!
I think the best steinhart watch.
Will it come in 39mm?
You own at least two genuine Rolex' .... and you worry about feeling self-conscious wearing this one?
Thanks for the review, BTW, even though I still can't decide if I want this one or the other Vintage model with the old explorer-dial and the red triangle on the bezel.
Most expensive watches are to valuable to wear! Scratches, damage, theft its almost to much so they just sit in boxes admired on the dresser rather than serve the purpose they are meant for!
At least you get to enjoy the Steinhart and not worry too much if you ding it!
Buy a watch, and wear it. And if you are worried about it, you can not really afford it.
Every watch will get dings over time, and I never have my watches polished.
I ordered the same model. Expecting it tomorrow. Can't wait.
Can you do a small review also please Vittorio? There are not many on UA-cam compared to the other models . I really enjoyed this review , great perspective of homage watches work with discontinued models
@@bruh_oly1370 Yup. Planning to.
@@vitvel can't wait, have you received it ?
@@bruh_oly1370 Yes, I got it yesterday.
Could you give me the website to order it?
Max YM Ho Straight to steinhartwatches.de! Great service
Good review. I own this watch and i agree with all you points, really good job. I will follow your channel.
I’ve got one great watch at a great price.
Steinhart clasps break in. Making them easier to operate at a perfect level of effort.
What is your wrist size sir ?
It’s 17cm
Okey i have 17,7 cm i hope this watch not too small for me
Whats ur wrist size
Great review!
Great review! Merci.
Whats your wrisr size please 😊 this is 39 mm right
Sebastian Davies My wrist is 17cm as I mention in the beginning and the watch is 42mm which is wider than vintage Rolex so you need good wrist size.
Im sorry i apologise
Great looking watch.
Definitely have to get the Vintage red.
Thank you for the review.
Thanks
I have a 40mm sea dweller & this exact Steinhart 39mm ,I feel safer wearing the Steinhart knocking about everyday use is it as good as a Rolex? No but it’s damn close,Rolex’s are hugely overpriced Steinhart are truly amazing value, buy any Steinhart & be happy,
I would rather get a quality watch Such as a Steinhart at a Good Price. And add a Premium Bracelet myself. Keeping the expense of the Upfront Purchase . To a Minimum. Bracelet's are like unto that of Tires and or Wheels for car's As Long as the Drive Train is quality and the Suspension. One can Up Grade the Incidentals. Very Smart of Steinhart. Opening up to a wider Market with a Lower Price of Entry
Tbh I only buy homages from Rolex because of how rude they are to new buyers and people who don’t already own one
Hi guys and welcome to the show 🦖.. oops wrong channel 🤣
Seemed like an instant buy until you showed the Oris 65.
I just picked one of these up for $300... the clasp seems to be the biggest complaint, but there is a cheap fix. Buy a $30 submariner clasp from strapcode and you’re off to the races.
Hello From Brasil
Nice....
Pourquoi pas en Français
A Rolex makes you feel special? Why?
Rolex couldn‘t sell you a watch like this, even if they wanted to. It‘s made after the Rolex Seadweller Double Red, which was produced and sold in the 70s. Today it costs you between 40.000 and 60.000 dollars, that depends on the condition the watch is in. If you can find one, that is...
The Steinhart Vintage Red is a great watch, if you can tolerate a bad quality control, concerning mostly bezel insert and date wheel. They are almost never aligned properly.
The watch itself runs great (better than my Submariner), and with the new Steinhart jubilee it‘s great to wear it. And if someone tries to tell you he feels a difference wearing Steinhart or Rolex, it‘s nonsense. Try to grab one of the first batch with green lume. The fake lume on the later VR looks terrible, and they changed the red lettering after the first batch, which looks terrible, too.
You want to sell yours? Let me know. I want one and have $400.00 US I am afraid something is going to happen. And I will have to spend the money one something else. I think I need $460.00 US to buy it from stienhart
Ah too bad, just sold it locally for quite a bit less.
Well then if the Hong Kongite wear's it this Floridaite could try it.
Unfortunately doesn’t hack it not even close. It’s like buying a Volkswagen when you want an Audi or a merc
Bought one these ..appalling timekeeping, I returned it and it came back much the same....avoid this company.......bad attitude....
All these watches look the same
...does anybody really care?
Damn, you’re in a dark mood today. I think most people look the same and birds pretty much sing the same tune. Let’s cheer up
I have no interest in spending a fortune on a rolex, and I have even less interest in wearing a copy.
In that case a Rolex homage video is probably not worth your time.
Excellent review!
