These watches are excellent, I wear my 39 mm ovm everyday, and go swimming in the ocean a few times a week , never lets me down quality is amazing for the price. Definitely recommend for everyday use ( keep your Rolex pristine for nights out) .

I have currently the 42mm, and have had the 39mm. The Oyster style bracelet is a huge cuplrit......I added the Jubilee on the 42 and now it fits like a dream and LOOKS better.

I have a 6,25 " diameter wrist and my steinhart ocean one fits beautifully! Perhaps you should've re-sized it before you sold it!

I think the Steiny straight lug complainants are a bit exaggerated when it comes to the 39mm case. Sits fine on smaller wrists, with a sweet vintage look.

I have this watch and love everything about it apart from the 2 things you mention. The lugs could definitely be better designed. Steinhart use this same case shape for the Majority of their watches unfortunately. Check out Lorier another very nice Microbrand.

If Steinhart did this one thing with the lugs, it would transform the watch. It's not that the lugs are flat, even though they are, it's the visual aspect of the top of the lug tapering out and staying flat that matters. If Steinhart simply took the top outer edge of the lug and tapered it down somewhat, and removed the hard 90 degree edge at the lug end on the top and the outer side, it would soften the look. Solves the problem 100%.

With all due respect, a watch collector does NOT mean "watches come and go" as you mistakenly mentioned twice. 'Collector' , look it up from dictionary. Nice video though! It would have been interesting to know which watch you purchased with the money selling this.

thanks for sharing your thoughts. Do you think that the problem with the flat lugs will be apparent on a 6.8“ wrist? I‘d like to get a steinhart next but I’m afraid that it might be uncomfortable.

It should be fine, don't let that put you off. Its a comfortable watch. If you like the design then go for it!

I would like a Steinhart 42mm but the straight lugs is a deal breaker(I have 6,7 inch wrist). 39mm model will probably fit good, though, and it actually looks good on your wrist. I find it strange that Steinhart don't change this design which has been critized for a lot of years now. Maybe I will get a Steinhart 39mm and a Squale 42mm.

did u buy it? I have the same wrist but cant seem to decide between 39 and 42. I know 39 will fit me just fine but Im also looking for that masculine look. I just wish there was a 40 version or something.

@@jakubhladil5340 I bought a 39mm Ocean blue ceramic. Beautiful watch, but a bit smaller size than I prefer. The straight lugs is not a problem for me, it fits good on my wrist. The 42mm size with 3mm longer distance between the lugs may be too big, though. The finish and quality of Steinhart is really top notch and it's one of the finest watches in my collection.

I really want a Steinhart ocean one 39 but looking at multiple reviews of the watch I’m worried the watch will look big on my 6.3 - 6.4 inches wrists. Looking at this video, it seems to look fine except the straight lugs, but there’s quite a big difference between 6.4 inches and 6.5 inches so I am still pretty worried. Any help?

Im not quite as big but i got the 41 , it looks and feels great , i bought it when it came out and havnt taken it off , three years ago .( i may have scrubbed it with a toothbrush now and again) i have a few zulu straps , i occasionally change them .
