GEN Steinhart Marine Chronometer II

[fendushi]

Any Steinhart fans here? Just picked this one up today... made the deal on the bay.

 

Steinhart Marine Chronometer II, UNITAS 6498 movement, decorated bridges.

 

The photos don't do this watch any justice... this must be a very hard watch to photograph showing the beautiful blue hands AND the swirls on the seconds dial. There are a lot of bad ones out there, these are the best of borrowed pics. Will attempt to shoot my own tomorrow... with no light box!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The watch itself is absolutely stunning!! :wub:

 

I love the circular decorations on the movement bridges.

 

 

 

 

There are 2 types of decorated movements for this piece... I believe the older models have Geneva stripes with gold base instead of circular engravings.

 

 

 

 

And yes... genuine Y incabloc!! LOL!!

 

 

 

 

This watch makes my new noob PAM111 looks.... BORING!

Managed to find a pic with the blue hands AND the swirl patterns of the seconds dial... but on the arabic numerals version.

I like Steihart watches. They should get rid of that awful logo though. Congrats on the new watch.  : )

You mean the logo on the movement? I actually like it, lol!

 

Thanks, wearing it now.... I was worried that it might wear too big but it wears my small wrist really well.

And yes, these photos definitely confirm there is AR on the back crystal too.

 

I think just as impressed with my Samsung S3 phone camera taking decent macro shots. lol!

That is a lovely looking watch.

I have a Steinhart vintage Military and absolutely love it.

For the price of a high end rep it represents fantastic value and build quality.

A testament to the quality of Steinhart watches is there resale value. I have actually seen second hand watches go for near brand new cost.

It's a beautiful watch you have there and I may have to add one to my collection
