Thanks Curt! I've been looking at the Steinhart Ocean One 39 in green ($404) for quite a while, I've seen many good reviews, but yours is the first long term update I've found. While it's great you've had no other problems, it was slightly concerning that "both" your respected but affordable Steinharts with ETA 2824-2 or Sellita SW200 movements would both have mechanical issues right away. But, at least they took care of you!

Pro tip for those (awesome) Barton elite silcone bands... slide off and remove the floating keeper and just use the one that has the notch in it. It makes putting them on so much easier and the notched keeper is truly all you need.

I had the Steinhart OVM but sold it. What bothered me was the lack of AR. The reflections were horrible. It was also a bit on the big side. They should have made it a fraction smaller but keep 22mm lugs.

@minitwatch 5 жыл бұрын

Did you get one that didn't come with AR coating? Mine is great! I do wish it was 40mm, though.

@indyawichofficial1346 3 жыл бұрын

For example Rolex doesn't put AR on its glass, while Steinhart O1 is using AR coating and matt black dial, so it is hard to see the troubles with reflective surfaces, you are mentioning.

@michaeltihon3485 5 жыл бұрын

Maybe you got misluck with the lume because normally on the 39, it's Superluminova BGW9 and it's super shiny and stays perfectly readable all night long. At least, it's my experience with my 2 Ocean 39mm with BGW9 and all the 42 I had before (sold them all for 39mm version) I had the OVM 42 too but flipped it for the Gnomonomonnn 39mm version ;) Far better on my 6,75" wrist and more comfy. The lume was perfect on my 42 and still is on the 39. It's superluminova old radium. Just a question dude, do you live in the dark all day long ? :D Note : For two of my Ocean 39, I bought the jubilee from Steinhart. I recommend you to try one on your OO39 green :)

There wasn't many on ebay so I gave up. That watch is just fantastic. The move not made is the worst, you end up overthinking it way too much. Next time you see that chick just approach and talk. If nothing else just talk. Hi I'm Curt, and I just wanted to say hi to you. Anything, it doesn't matter, as long as you just say something.

I might be able to find it for you if you're still interested and maybe, just maybe, I can make a dolla by giving you and affiliate link. BOOYAAH!!! lol. You're absolutely right. I haven't been in the mindset of "what ifs" for a long time. I usually make things happen that I want to.
