    I got the Oxford Sternglas a few months ago and I have to say it's an amazing watch and its beauty surpasses that in the video. This watch is incredibly simple yet so elegant

    With that price, you better buy the original, Junghans. A lot easier to resell as well.

      I had a beautiful Junghans Max Bill - very difficult to sell. Couldn't get rid of it. You need to buy them because you love them, but they certainly do not hold value at all.

    The website is saying that it is 9mm thick. Your measurement looks accurate on what you are holding. I would need this to be closer to €500 and about 9mm thick to consider it.

    I am not so much into the Bauhaus style, but if someone likes this type of watches, I would definitely recommend it (on a strap). I immediately noticed the higher beat movement and assumed it was a Miyota 9015. I really like that movement. The dial looks very consistent and the movement and rotor are also very nice. I would take this one over a (much more expensive) Nomos or a Junghans. The only thing I like better visually with a Nomos is the case shape, I like cylindrical cases more than these rounder ones. Thanks for sharing!

  • @IWantMyVisionBack
    @IWantMyVisionBack 3 місяці тому +1

    The movements are great but I wear watches for fashion so I have no problem going with the cheaper sternglas version that range from $200-$400 USD.

    Not my cup of tea as it were. Besides the price, I don't see anything necessarily wrong with it. But for @$500 US I just ordered a Beaucroft Seeker with a Minolta 9 series movement and it looks much nicer.
    Cheers everyone!

    I have one of the original Naos automatics. The only problem I have with it is that with the 38mm diameter, white dial and extremely thin bezel it looks HUGE on my wrist. I with they would make a 36mm, though with current pricing, I'm not likely to buy another.

  • @joshstinnett9815
    @joshstinnett9815 2 місяці тому

    I felt like I stepped into the twilight zone when you said that watch is relatively thin, so I went and checked my Max Bill real quick.. 8.5mm with crystal, 5.5 without. Sternglas have a LONG way to go before thin can be used in the same sentence..

    Are there just no budget German-made mechanical movements? It seems every affordable German watch brand either uses Miyota or ETA movements and it makes Made in Germany on the dials kinda misleading.

    Not convinced with those almost impossible to see numerals. Overall looks nice piece. Strap and case shape I like. Like a 6 o’clock date complication. Seems on the expensive side. Iv got an Iron Annie, to me a better spec and better looking piece and £200 cheaper!! The bracelet looks like an AliExp one for £5. Bracelets need a taper. Their strap looks very nice tho, would have that….
