I have to agree , so much so i bought three . Four when this one arrives 😀

joe kelly , great value timepieces

now it is perfect - available in 39mm for Gnomonwatches.

I wouldn't call Steinhart a micro brand. Their volume is probably somewhere in the thousands.

@@Optidorf yeah it's way higher than most older Swiss brands

I haven't had that issue. I'm thinking about getting the regular Ocean One as well.

I agree 100%! Enjoy it!

Hi, it’s 170 mm +/- 2mm depending on weather and diet

Haha noooo , i got the ocean 44 , to beat up then an ovm , i seen the ocean 1 39 and Boom bad idea looking at these watches too much now i can never decide which watch

Congrats man, it's a great watch!

We don't. The Steinhart resembles the Rolex Seadweller Double Red. Both these watches don't have sword hands, if you mind to take a closer look.

You're thinking of the OVM version I think, milsub hommage

Yah, they definitely don't conform like my Seiko's do.

joe kelly get invicta

Hell no.

Hi Roger, thank you. My wrist is 175mm - 7". Sometimes just a shade under depending on hydration level :-)

Thank you. Interesting you mentioned hydration level. I've noticed the same thing. Some days, my watch can go from slightly loose to uncomfortably snug.

Because every low price diver watch looks extremely similar.

I give passes to replicas of the Mil-sub with artificially aged (the caramel colored) lume markers only because it's impossible for 99.9% of watch collectors to get their hands on a real mil-sub.

Hey gjs67, remember that Roles "borrowed" the design of the sub. It all started with the Blancpain 50 Fathoms. Many people like the look, but do not like the price. ie, Bugatti.

Pull the trigger......who makes up these irritating phrases? What's wrong with saying "buying one"?

Enjoy being irritated. Nobody cares...

My watchmaker calibrated my Ocean One to within a second a day, he told me he was very impressed with the quality of the watch and case, he did grease the ring in the back and had a look at the crown, he said there was a couple of o gaskets in there but he didn’t want to mess with them. They are tested at the factory to 300 meters with the pressure tester. The reality is that you will never have an issue with waterproofing if you’re sport diving, since you will never dive deeper than 50 meters anyway, but it’s good to know they are tested to 300.

Agree with the 50m. I guess it is no different from an AAA-grade Rolex Sub replica that I took apart to look at. No rubber ring seals ala Rolex original Submariner... But at least the inside end of the crown was rubberised (washer?) so there's a seal when the crown is screwed gown and not just metal to metal. I removed the movement to water test and there casing and it held out well. (Just a "no bubbles" test). I have a Triton Steinhart that's rated 300m. Solid casing and screw down but waterproofing was similar to the replica. It validates my belief that for a watch to be waterproof, it has to have a screw down back as well as screw down crown.

And waterproof watches needs to be maintained. Amounting to simply silicon oiling the gaskets once every year perhaps.

Buck Rogers actually, there's at least two gaskets on the crown, one inside the crown itself and one on the shaft. I'd say you'd get at least 200 metres from that. They're pressure tested at the factory to 300 metres. The good fake Rolex's are more like 30 to 50 metres, and I would never wear them swimming.

Buck Rogers in fact, there's a video here somewhere on KZfaq where a guy has been wearing his Ocean One for lots of SCUBA diving and hasn't had any issues at all with waterproofing.

Yes! Purchased in late December 2017.

Just Watch that’s what there’s now oh their website right? Black dial 18-22 bracelet? Thank you very much!

Should be, yes. The dial on the newer ones isn't as faded as they used to be.

Just Watch thank you very much!!! I discovered these watches just a few days ago and I fell in love... Seiko sarb033 on my list too.... arrggggh can’t decide

superfede92 Do both! That's what I did!

Thanks, my wrist is just under 7” (170mm)

My Ocean Explorer 39 is in heavy rotation, keeps better time than any watch I have, approx 1 second a day fast.

Thanks Colin!

No fees or taxes to USA 🇺🇸

I have two rolexs, I bought two more, now I also bought this one, because I don't want to wear my original double red sd, and I have serious money in my account

​@@leomarsic289lolol lolol

bravo amigo

Jewels in a mechanical watch are synthetic rubies that are used to minimize friction inside the movement. "XX jewels" simply means that in this particular movement there are XX number of rubies built into the "bearings" of the movement. Less friction means a more regular motion of cogs/wheels/etc and thus more accuracy and greater power-reserve. When you look at a watch movement, some of the jewels are usually visible - they look like little red/pink, translucent discs. Do a google picture search for "ETA 2824" or "Incabloc".

@@1SaG thankyou for the reply

It’s a lot of watch for the money.

@@JustWatchreviews yeah it's nice that homages is not the only thing st inhart does. They are going in house soon and hopefully they can develop something like Tudor did and work as real tools for people not just another luxuary watch brand

My wrist is 170mm, I love the 39mm size, just purchased the new ceramic version, review soon!

The bezel should not be overly tight, a little stiff yes, but not beyond that. Also the winding shouldn’t be stiff.

Good luck!

Yes! Took me two months and she cracked. Got mine! Worth every red cent!

YEah. The only people I hear talk shit about Steinhart seems to be butthurt Rolex fanboys.

I paid nothing like that it was $406 to my house, I ordered it on a Friday and delivered following Monday!!

Mark Bloom If you don’t mind me asking, where did you find it for $406?

KC134 Steinhart . Com brand new ordered it July 11 and it arrived on the 14rh

KC134 did you find it ? It’s like €360 and that comes to about $406 American dollars . You gonna order one? 😀

@@Mark-sd7fc I found it today for about $427 including shipping. Will probably order when I get back home. Thanks again.

Thanks, Timothy, but I would go further: would you please entirely eliminate the obnoxious techno-dance music? It is just purely grating, and seems entirely inappropriate for a watch collecting/reviewing channel. I haven't seen any Just Watch videos before now, and very nearly terminated this one within 10 seconds of starting it. Fortunately, the review of the Steinhart was quite useful.

Last time i saw an Original Sea Dweller Double Red for sale it was 38.880 Euros. For a watch that is about 50 years old, and probably not in condition for daily use. Can you agree to that?

Copy? It's a model which Rolex doesn't use for long time ago.

It really is a great watch. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

Steinhart is a lot of watch for the money and well made but its ultimately a homage. Steinhardt is not spending over $ 30-60 million annually on advertising/endorsements, 100's of millions over the years (billion ?)to get the "brand equity" of Rolex that exists today..it affects collectibility and desirability and "total emotional experience" most watch buyers seek irregardless of objective value. Steinhart could even make a better spec and finished watch but it wouldn't matter...the homage could be $500 or 500,000, it still would be a homage and unrecognized by the majority besides WIS circles, which is a miniscule %of the target market. The buyer for Rolex and Steinhart have different set of priorities which is why Rolex can and has to sell it for that price, as buyers are looking for "status and image" vs affordability/good objective value additionally, over the long run, some rolexes cost much less as you often get 2-10× more than original price while the other depreciates

Chin Yoon, I’m an inveterate watch enthusiast. I’ve been at this for years, so I already know every point you’ve commented on. You’re preaching to the choir. The advertising is tantamount to brainwashing. They pay for advertising to make people want the watch; they succeed; then people pay them for making them want the watch. And they’ve been doing it for forever and a day. Please, don’t get me wrong; I know that Rolex makes fabulous watches with exemplary engineering and that they last forever and a day, even without being serviced. They’re amazing. But the cost of the watch is the cost of the watch, so you’re not really paying less. I bought a Seiko SARB035 brand new for $332 in 2016. I really paid less. I wear it every day with everything. And I feel compelled to gaze at it several times every day. It’s gorgeous. To me, that’s value for my money. Yes, appreciation is a factor, but it’s gotten out of control. The sale of the “Paul Newman Daytona” is an example. The prices of Daytona’s skyrocketed after that sale, right? And why? Paul Newman wore the watch. Yadda yadda yadda. So there’s this whole cult that people have built up around it because of that. Again, please, don’t get me wrong. Daytona’s are brilliantly engineered, even to the point of making them easy to service, but prices have just gone out of control. It’s tantamount to buying a house in Palo Alto nowadays, relatively speaking. And the whole thing feeds on itself. It’s sickening. I doubt that even Mr. Newman would approve, knowing that he was not a materialistic man. But this point is moot, since he’s passed on now, and we’ll never hear him comment on this subject. Now, having made the above statements, I will say that I would never buy the Steinhart. If I were going to buy that type of watch, it would probably be a Tudor BB 36, as I don’t need a divers’ bezel. Why? Because I like the way Rolex engineers their watches, and $3,000 is not too bad. Not only that, but also, having the 2824 movement would give me lots of latitude on whom to have service the watch.

Paul Martin, What makes you sure that I would modify my comment today? $10,000 is an insane price.

@@cy4624 lol and still EVERY TIME I see a Rolex I wonder if it’s real, and so do you, don’t lie! My Steinhart says Steinhart on it , so no question as to what it is, My Steinhart is a homage to a Rolex that had very limited production of only 1,100 or 1,200 pieces made and they are worth over $100,000 I wouldn’t own a fake , but if it doesn’t say Rolex on it then it’s not a fake.
