My newest, Deep Blue 300m diver.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

How do you like that Steinhart? My girlfriend has one one that is really cool and I have been thinking of getting the titanium one similar to yours. I could really use a dive watch and I am fan of titanium.

How's the overall finishing and all that? There's no local Steinhart dealer near me, so I would end up buying factory direct.

Sexy watch bro!!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Moses, I am very pleased with my Steinhart. If you Google Steinhart Ocean 1 you will see many rave reviews of the watch. I think the fit and finish are excellent. It is Swiss made with a well regarded Swiss movement. The watch is rated water resistant to 1000 feet, and the bracelet is well made and heavy. The crystal is domed sapphire. If I had to name one improvement to make, the lume could be brighter. I bought directly from Steinhart - I ordered on a Monday and received the watch that Friday. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased.

Here are a few reviews which may be helpful.

This is my girlfriend's watch I bought her a couple of years ago. Runs great! We took the case protecting croc off and she bought an another color strap that looks great with it too.

Guess I could contribute. Heres my latest Citizen, I got a few months ago. Mostly chose this one bc the colors match my golf clubs. Sadly, I will be going to the dark side soon. My fiancé picked me up an apple watch for our wedding.

I like the Citizen

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Like The All Black Look, Andrew!:):tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Thanks guys! Always had a thing for Citizens, since my old man gave me one of his after he retired. This is my third Eco drive. Only have two left. The first one was one of the originals and the internal battery went out. Was not covered under warranty. Na vent had a hiccup with the other two

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

This is my everyday Citizen Echo-Drive. My wife gave it to me on our wedding day. It's gotten a little more beat up than I'd have liked but I love this watch. Guess I'll just have to get another soon. Have another Cutizen picked out already. :r

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I ended up ordering the Ocean One Titanium last night. My IWC is being serviced and now my Omega needs servicing as well.. NO WATCH!!!

I was ready to buy a fancy watch, but thought I should wait until Omega is back so I can sell that as mint, just serviced watch. Frantic figuring what I should I do, I just ordered the Steinart instead. Not sure when it'll arrive though. If I like it when both watches are back, I'll keep or sell it for a short loss...

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Moses, I hope you are pleased. I am wearing mine today, and have been very happy with it. It keeps very good time, about 6 seconds fast per day.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Here's my new watch; Steinhart Ocean One in Titanium. Great watch for the money. Detailing is solid, well made. ETA movement, sapphire crystal, screw down crown, etc... 42mm and doesn't look big, so has a classic non-trendy look. Screw in links and ceramic bezel. Hard pressed to find a new Swiss automatic that has as much for the same money. Bought factory direct. This our 2nd Steinhart watch.

My other watches are all being serviced right now, so I was out of watch and wanted a Titanium dive watch is getting harder find. Planet Ocean Omega is like the only other one of note from I can see (albeit a lot more money).

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Great watch Moses, I had the original Ocean One back in the day :tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Good-looking watch, Moses. You get a heck of a lot of Swiss watch for your money with Steinhart.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Sure do. And this one does not look like Rolex copy...

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Yeah, that's really the main knock on most of their older models. Pretty much all homage watches (which is fine if that's what you want, but not what everyone is looking for).

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I want a watch to stand by its own merit; not because it looks like something else.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

For anyone that is in the market for a watch winder, I found an awesome deal on a wolf Heritage 6 watch winder. It's an older model but brand new on overstock.com. They are having an anniversary sale with 25% off and there is a coupon you can activate for an additional $50 off. Retails for about $2,500, listed for $983, $737 after 25% off, and a final cost of $687 after the $50 off coupon. $687 for what usually goes for $1,000-$1,200 on Amazon and other places.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I got the Wolf 456002 Watch Winder from Amazon about a year ago, and it's been great so far. Super quiet and looks very stylish. It's a bit on the pricier side but totally worth it. Here's the Amazon link and a good review for people who wants more info.

Good luck!

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That is one pretty watch. It made me start shopping around for one (just a little too big for my wrist). One of these days I'll have to get around to posting pix of my sad little collection. I just got a new Luminox 3059 Men's EVO Navy SEAL Orange Colormark in the mail yesterday.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I just have a Apple Watch but my mom and grandma both have Rolex’s. My uncle has about 10 in a safe that he never wears. My mom has a Tag too but never really wore it after my dad got her the Rolex for their 10th wedding anniversary in like 2004.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

These are my two latest. Seems I just discovered Orient watches and I love them; 21,600 bps, hacking and hand winding in-house movements. Sorry I haven't had the chance to photograph my actual pieces. I think I got the last Maestro available online. You can't tell from the pictures but the hands and markers are a deep cobalt blue. I took the bracelet off of it and put on a vintage style coffee brown leather strap. Actual photos to come.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Yeah me too :dr

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

How are you enjoying the MontBlanc, Julian? I've had one of their XXL GMT Chronos for a around 15 years now and always liked it.

And good call on the Orient, Darren. For the money, they are hard to beat. I've been wearing one of theirs with a blue dial as my pool/vacation watch for a few years. It's by far the best value watch I own and I've recommended them to a lot of folks.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Not sure who makes the MontBlanc, but as a part of Richemont, there are plenty of good shops who can produce a nice watch.

Does MontBlanc have a dedicated manufacture for watches or just a run from one of their other factories?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I was just reading that it's an in-house movement; pretty impressive. Here's a link: https://www.watch-wiki.net/index.php?title=MB_R200

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Didn’t get it... couldn’t find it locally and have been too busy to travel to see it. While I love the unique face layout I started to think I might prefer something more classic. I was also reading mixed opinions about the quality of Montblanc. Another strong contender was this: https://www.glashuette-original.com/...90-02-42-32-05 ... But I’m now leaning towards this Nardin: https://monochrome-watches.com/intro...r-specs-price/

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

A friend bought one of those at a duty free stop on a cruise. Nardin's are heavily discounted which may be of concern on eventual value.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Thanks James, I've come to love them. Since then I've gotten a Hemel Track with the bead blasted case and a pretty decent Miyota movement:

and ordered this Hamilton Khaki Field Pioneer 42mm hand wind:

I'm gonna be paying for them for a little while. :r

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I hear really good things about both of them. :tu

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I’ve been gathering early 70’s Times stuff that works to rebuild a watch my father left when he passed.
I’m almost there. I just need to sit down with all of it and start building.
It ain’t easy.
You guys try to rewind a mainspring sometime and see how it goes.

Hey Scott, you probably know this but there are some great watch repair videos on YouTube.

after years of window shopping, here is what my wife got for me. Absolutely love it

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

My wife and I both have Steinmart's and like them. Her's is really cool looking and I dig mine in Titanium with a GMT. Two things that are hard to find as a pair in a watch.

I am really digging some of the new Ball releases. Would like to get one of those.
