A massive thank you to WIlliam from Tassie for the loan of his fresh Steiny. I like this one a lot, though I'd be waiting in the queue for a 39mm. And even then I might be tempted to swap it for flat sapphire and a cyclops. Still, it'd be cheaper than buying Orlando's. Cheers, Jody

An homage like this, a reference to a watch that is discontinued a long time ago makes so much sense, especially when it's so well made.

@1SaG 3 года назад

Like all Steinhart vintage models (that have the option), the "Steve McQueen" looks so much better in 39mm. I had both sizes of this model on my wrist and in hand at my local Steinhart-dealer and when you see them side by side, there really is no choice. 39mm works so much better for those vintage pieces - it just looks more authentic. I also had the "Double Red" and the OVM side by side in both sizes and all of them looked so much nicer in 39. In fact, once I had seen the 39 vintage models, I bought the smaller OVM on the spot and put my 42mm OVM up for sale on a watch-forum.

@JustOneMoreWatch 3 года назад

I tend to agree mate. 42 is wearable, but 39 is the one I'd pick too.

@nukadog1969 3 года назад

I'm one of the people who justifiably need larger watches. My wrist is 7.5" on a good day. I have one 39 and it will be perfect for formal occasions, but it looks a bit toy-like. I'm glad they have options for everyone. I WANT to own vintage, but with my hamhocks demand at least 40, preferably 42. I'm jealous you can go to a Steinhart boutique. I'd so love that opportunity!

@randyallen2771 3 года назад

Nice to see you giving this watch a look. I've had one for a couple of years and find it a wonderful daily wearer and great value for money. Once you get a custom to the dial layout, it's quick to read in all light conditions. While it's a large watch, I haven't found it ungainly to wear on my 6.5 " wrist. The flat design seems to always ride at the right spot on my wrist for easy reading. And with 300 meter water resistance, I find it meets my needs nicely. Keep up your good work.

I absolutely adore my Vintage GMT. It is my fourth of five Steinhart. I have 39mm Ocean One and GMT Pepsi & 42mm Vintage GMT, GMT Coke, and OVR….I am lucky enough to be able to wear both sizes. I really enjoy all of them. I did have my local Rolex AD add a cyclops for me - it isn’t hard for those that want one. Just order from Esslinger and then have your jeweler use IR glue. He really likes Steinhart and enjoys working on all my pieces. Truly enjoyable piece

@switzknight 3 года назад

Great review Jody. I have the 39 and love it. But I agree, a flat crystal, with or without a cyclop, would have been much better. In fact, I wish brands would go to a flat crystal if they can’t manage effective A/R coating.

@davidrosenblum2178 3 года назад

Another example in my opinion of how Steinhart punches above their weight. THe Ocean One GMT Titanium I picked up early in my collecting quest is a favorite and a bit of a strap monster as well. This one would be too; I see it rocking a lighter brown vintage leather or even an ostrich strap… The style is great and although you’re talking about this one as a Rolex homage for some reason that minute track puts me in mind of the contemporary Omega Speedmaster Racing’s dial. Anyway, a cracking watch to be sure! Thanks mate!

I have owned this watch for just over 2 years I wear it on rotation every 4 weeks or so and it has never missed a beat, I love this watch it's the ETA version very accurate gains about 5 seconds over the week, The lume is ok and it wears well on my 8 inch wrist. I was going to flip it but every time I consider it I always back out, I think this one is a keeper.....

Steve was a friend of my father, who used to sell him cars. He always wore a Rolex Sub. He liked antiques and sport watches. He was a collector. He also wore some cheasy, leather strap watches as well when he was riding a dirt bike. He gave my father a new in the box square Heuer. My dad gave it to my older brother, who said it was so ugly nobody wanted to buy a Steve Mcqueen owned watch for $100. NEVER saw Steve wear a Heuer (except for the on screen time on Lemans. Never wore a Ex2 either. That's a fact.

As somewhat of a Steve McQueen aficionado I do have an array of Steve related ASSOCIATED memorabilia. I have a 1940’s Rolex Oyster Speedking in amazing condition. The same model watch he wore in The Great Escape, along with several Benrus Vietnam military issued watches relating to his Bullitt movie. Yeah I have the Steve McQueen Triumph bike too, along with a couple of period mags from his desert racing days. My pride & joy though is my 1968 Ford GT390 Mustang fastback still in LHD. Finally he did wear a Rolex Submariner 5513, circa 1964 & also the Heuer Monaco.

Don’t own a Steinhart but I was looking at a Yema Superman Worldtime GMT Coke to add to the collection and this bad boy definitely worth it at half the price. Your definitely right with how simple and well built this Steinhart is. Obviously the Yema has its own unique qualities but with in looking at this piece a little more it’s kind of grown on me over there, the Original Rolex and this one. Not a bad addition to daily watch lineup. I think Steinhart does a really good job with the watches. As for I am trying to whittle down my collection and only a few solid beaters. Just have the find the right place to unload them. I’ve said this before this watch collecting/ addiction is a tough one to break because theirs always something new to spark your interest and without the traveling it’s so easy to justify spending a grand or two on a nice piece.

@RickDeckardMemories 2 года назад

Attention to anyone watching in 2022 : these (or anything sold for Euros) is currently discounted for Americans because of weak Euro. I got this GMT exactly one year ago, summer 2021, after watching this review. At the time I paid $560 total, including shipping. Today (summer 2022) it's $500 total, for US buyers. The Euro price actually incresed (both the watch and shipping), but because the Euro fell substantially vs the Dollar, the currency conversion means lower price for Americans. And yes, I totally recommend this watch. I love it. My wrist is approximately 7.5 inches, and for me it's super comfortable. Very high quality of fit and finish, just excellent 👍🏻 p.s. If you are an American buyer, when you go to their website, your price is "without tax", indicated in smaller print.

Really love this homage-- especially the 39mm! In general, I love most (well done) Rolex homages. But I *hate* when the watch fools someone, at first, and then when I tell them "it's a homage," they look at me as though I'm trying to be something I'm not-- namely, wealthy enough to own a Rolex at all. That's just not my style! And yes, this happened to me several times when I owned my Invicta pro diver; enough so that I sold it.... This watch resembles a Rolex that's been out of production for a while. So I'm pretty sure, that would solve my "not really a pretender" problem, at least in the circles I frequent these days...

Hi Jody, love your content and a big fan of your channel. The 1655 is my all time grail and I had 2 chances in my life to buy it for a decent price but regret not pulling the trigger. This has been my watch collecting big time grief. So over the years, I have been looking for the perfect 1655 homage or rep to scratch my itch. After doing some digging on the net, I have found 2 offerings that could do the perfect job. However, I noticed something suspicious on these 2 specific "brands", namely Chronotac and Tiger Concept, so I did some more digging. Upon doing more research, I'm still not confident in buying from them. Do you happen to know anything about them? Hope you can make an episode on this topics. I think this would be interesting.

It was not a TAG but a Heuer Monaco (Ref 1133). This watch was offered to Steve by Heuer and he wears it only for the purpose of the film "Le Mans". This watch was given by McQueen to the film's chief mechanic, Haig Alltounian, at the end of the shoot. It is well known that Steve did not like this watch, he was definitevly a Rolex Submariner boy and also Hanhart 417 chrono.

Ok, I understand, thanks for the facts, always fun to hear new.👍 The small square clock is marketed hard as Steve M.

@thegraciefighter102 3 года назад

Yes but only agreed to wear that Monaco because he’d never heard of Heuer and didn’t want to wear a watch like Omega that may profit off the watch. He was no particular fan of the watch and would likely be disappointed how they’ve since profited off the association

Steiny do have two McQueen Expy2 models in 39mm as well, with or without cyclop

@goodlifebdg Год назад

With seestern having this model too, it will be very interesting to compare these 2 !!

Excellent review Jody!!

@patrickford5793 3 года назад

Awesome stuff Jody but it’s a little too pricey for my taste for a homage. San Martin is upper limit. I do like the no cyclops though.

I for one never found steinhart to wear big, fit very well on my wrist. Although the bracelets weren't the best, they were adequate. Definitely strap monsters.

@markbyrum4743 2 года назад

Just saw this watch (the 39mm) on eBay for US $1,500. Better get it from Steinhart if you want one priced as discussed in this vid. God vid. Keep at it!

I have the titanium ocean one gmt. I have been considering swapping it for this model.

There´s actually a pagani design version of this steve mcqueen on Aliexpress!!

@bcshadd 3 года назад

I have an older version, before the vintage lume. I've had it 6 years without issue, but the lugs are too long for taste.

Thanks for the Steinhart review!

Makes me wonder exactly how influential Steve McQueen was. I wasn't there

@52joker64 3 года назад

Just want to do a quick experiment: Wristwatch. What image went through your head? Mine is the rolex submariner then the f91w.

@jamessher6956 3 года назад

I got my Explorer 2 in 1976 and wore it daily until 1989 when I sold it for $450 as I was out of work and needed $. It was not considered one of Rolex’s more sought after models. I can’t believe the current price and of course it makes me sick every time I think of selling it.

Just refreshing to listen to ReMix of the intro 😎

@RobertFalconer1967 3 года назад

I have this piece, too. It's a startlingly accurate recreation, and very well made. Definitely one of Steinhart's best. Though as others have said, McQueen never actually had a 1655 (it just looks like the sort of watch he would have worn). If you want to review an actual McQueen watch, see if you can get a hold of the newly reissued Hanhart 417ES chronograph.

@chronocommander007 2 года назад

I have been wanting to get one for a while. I think it will look great on a NATO.

@kennethpitts8946 3 года назад

I’ve owned a couple Steinharts in the past and sadly the cyclops that they do put on their watches is pretty much useless. I think it’s advertised as a x1.5 magnification and I don’t think they even manages that. I’ve got 7 1/4” wrists and the 42mm options from them wears WAY too big, I even put it on a NATO to try and get the effect of the lug to lug down and it just didn’t work. The 39mm though is perfect! I only got rid of my 39mm Ocean One so I could buy a Ginault OR2 and that’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made.

@ricktoffer01 3 года назад

This is a watch that I can save up for. Just for the history of the watch. We Americans love to exaggerate our history with little fiction here and there every now and then. OK maybe a lot. lol It will be my first Swiss watch when I get it! Thanks for the review. I know it will be a good buy.

@ajaychoudhary9817 3 года назад

Casio mtp1302 is also a very good Rolex homage you are gonna love it

@metatechnologist 3 года назад

Rolex would send their watches to celebrities gratis. Which we now know was a pioneering marketing move. It would be like an obstinate McQueen to get the watch and not help Rolex out with a photo because the watch was a "gift" after all! Perhaps that's how the "wore it privately" story was given traction.
