Steinhart also makes a line of pure pilot watches that much more closely resemble the B-Uhren's. The diamond crown on the watch I ordered is actually historically accurate, the onion/pumpkin crown is a more uniform/round shape and is a modern addition to the pilot watch.

All of Steinhart watches are mechanical, some manual wind and some automatic. The one I've ordered is a mech auto chrono using the Valjoux 7750 movement. 47mm is on the larger side depending on your wrist size, but it's the 16.7mm height that's the large dimension on this watch. I have a 19.5cm wrist and find that anything under about 42mm looks lost on my arm. While obviously not my arm, this person is wearing the 47mm on a slightly smaller 19cm wrist:



Depending on how this purchase goes, and I have no doubts that the watch quality will be just as good as the watch forums say it is, I've got a feeling I'll be ordering this marine chronometer inspired manual wind as a dress watch. Hard to go wrong for 383Euro shipped.



Nice watch

I've been eyeing up a Laco recently

Laco makes some beautiful pilots too, closer to historically accurate than the Steinharts as well. I looked at Laco's but just couldn't justify spending 1600€ on a watch right now. You do get what you pay for and the Laco's are better quality again, but it is what it is. As it stands my Steinhart will cost almost the same as my Aristocrat did last year. Thank god my wife doesn't blink at these things... her exact comment was "Would you stop obsessing and just order the damn watch already!!". The one thing she did have me change was to requested the satin/brushed finish buckles instead of the polished

Hoping to get a FedEx number on Monday and if all goes well I should have it sometime mid to late next week

Shane everything on shop NBC is on flex pay so you're looking at $40 a month x 6 months. Just saying

That 3 watch set's a good deal but I'd only wear one cuz i dont like the gold or rose gold color so that'd be a waste

Well, I ended up getting my girlfriend something less fancy than I had intended.

This Steinhart kind of fell in my lap and I thought she'd like the size (37 mm) and colors. It's automatic with a deployment buckle and a "case protector" that comes off.

Where'd you find that one? Must be a discontinued or limited model and as I don't see it anywhere on their site (or anything as small either)?

I want a good automatic skeleton watch and it has to be large. I love my Invicta watches but want to try some others out. Probably won't pick anything up until Christmas but I always look. They opened a Home Goods/T.J. Maxx by my house and they have a fantastic watch section with really good prices.

I'm a big fan of my Grand Diver Auto and I really want a Subaqua Noma. Some of the Android line of watches are nice too.

I have the Grand Diver in the strap, wouldnt mind one in a SS bracelet.

.... and Nav B-Chrono #488 arrived today. the 47mm size seems to suit my 19.5cm (7.67") wrist quite nicely. I've already figured out how to flick my wrist and start the Valjoux wobble
