chris5264 Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I’m used to great service from people like Joshua and Davidsen but I have to admit I was totally unprepared for the service I’m getting from Steinhart. I know a few people on this forum have mentioned the brand from time to time. I ended up with an aircraft 8, very impressive watch. With the green, the whole dial is lum and really glows. Anyway, after a few weeks, something seemed wrong with winding it, I think the rotor is loose. Not a big problem that I would fix myself, but because it is under warranty I thought I would drop an email. The CEO (Jon) of Steinhart actually wrote back in a few hours and asked when a good time to call would be! We had a pleasant conversation and obviously it will be fixed. I expected it to be fixed, but an actual call these days is pretty impressive. Seems like they are going out of their way to build a reputation. Imagine someone from Omega or Panerai actually picking up a phone these days for a watch under a grand???? Here it is with my Azimuth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few weeks after buying my gen omega seamaster, the bezel became bidirectional. It was gone about 3 and a half months. The AD I bought it from no longer has Omegas because their service was so poor. It was just nice to see a change. The one on the left is 47, and the Steinhart is 46 but looks much bigger on the wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shultz Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 (edited) I just ordered my 42mm GMT with black/ orange bezel insert. Must arrive in a few days. That's a stunning watch: Water resist 300 meters and a gen ETA 2893-2. Next on my list is that Unitas 47mm XXL Pilot Edited November 21, 2006 by shultz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Well,,,we'll see how things turn out. After I sent it in, no word yet if it was even recieved. I also like that pilot watch in SS, very nice for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRG Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I always look at the Steinhart Ocean series and wonder how the hell they get away with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris5264 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I don't think they score very high on originality, but the rest seems good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luminor Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 I don't think they score very high on originality sadly i have to agree! however, that is going to change, starting march '07, when this baby is released. stainless steel; 45mm; 24mm lugwidth; Sellita SW200 (swiss made, very similar to ETA 2824); AR coated saphire crystal; two shades of SL on dial; antimagnetic inner core ... a version with orange dial will also be available: a valjoux 7750 chrono will follow shortly after. a limited edition 1000m is being considered.
