Steinhart Ocean One GMT | Review & comparison with the Rolex GMT Master 2 

Steinhart watches are very good value 👍

What wrist size do you have? Will 42mm be too big with a 17cm wrist?

@@bukt I have a 17cm wrist. 42 and 48 in lug to lug should be ok

Thank you, they are however really inspired from the 5 digit GMTs and Subs so they are still a homage, not that that's a problem with me 😉

I would have loved to check out the 39 ceramic as well. Maybe another time :)

@@Horologique I actually wanted to sell my aluminium bezel version to get the ceramic bezel but decided against it as I like the vintage look the aluminium gives.

Thank you very much buddy 🙏👍

Thank you my friend!

Thank you so much and welcome!

A very nice timepiece to be sure 👍👍

Thank you for answering 😁👍. They must have indeed! At the time you could easily get a 2893, now it's very complicated

Thank you very much, I'll try that 😁

Opening the back is also an option.

Yes it's a bit too much text, even on the Rolex...

Thank you 👍👍

Yes you are totally right about that one. For me the movement is one of the main arguments of the Steinhart

I wouldn't think so until I saw a guy with one recently at a kermesse. All I could think of was "wow, that's a beautiful Submariner". Nope it was an Ocean One 😁

@@Horologique 🤣

It's coming my friend 😊

@@Horologique been on the fence between cronos or the sm. Steinhart out of my price range for now but want to see how it compares

@@Horologique Did you ever do the Steinhart vs San Martin comparison in the end? Would love to see the steinhart 39mm pepsi ceramic against the San martin equivalent

I thought about it, I don't know if people will be interested 🤔

That would be nice indeed, if I'm not wrong that's what Rolex have tried to do with their newer Sub 2020 models

@@Horologique yes but made them 41mm🤦‍♂️😅

Oceaneva sounds ….not as good as Steinhart.

@@etebol sounds and actually holding are two different things. Get one of each to compare and you'll see. Specs on Oceaneva blow away the steinhart. As well as fit, finish and feel.

@@timeiseverything4 mmmm I think you could be right but I already have a vintage GMT and I love it. If I do decide to get one with an NH34 I would not want to pay $750 for it. Thats just me though. You do you.

@@etebol low spec NH 34 gmt's are $400 often. 749 don't seem bad for titanium. Ceramic bezel. Swiss lume. Screw bracelet. USA brand support and more specs I'm probably forgetting. Not to mention insane water resistance that they actually tested to depth in the ocean. Steinhart just has swiss made going for it which these days means all parts made in Asia except movement and supposedly assembled in Switzerland but with Swiss labor costs and prices some Swiss brands are often sold for that's obviously up for debate. Alot of shady stuff goes on in that department. I can't say any particular brand but I promise you some are having watches entirely made in China or Thailand then shipping to Switzerland where they attach the bracelet. If the watches ever enter Switzerland at all. I say this because a lot of shady things go on in the fashion industry. For example I used to have a friend that worked in the clothing business in New York. He told me a story. The company was having suits made, Italian suits that were selling in a New York department store for big money in the 80s. What they would do is they would they would have the suits made in Yugoslavia. Then they would make their way by train to Italy with fake customs documents. Custom agents would be bribed along the way. The suits then arrive in Italy where a tag would be sewn on the inside that said "made in Italy." They would then be exported to the United States to be sold in New York. As Italian made suits. So if people think that kind of stuff doesn't go in the watch industry they're kidding themselves. If one is buying a $300 watch that says Swiss made on the dial and it's new. It's questionable. It's kind of like those STP Swiss automatic movements. They are so cheap to buy wholesale to put in watches. No one will ever convince me that they're actually made in Switzerland.

That would be very interesting but I don't have the Squale...

Little bit more money though.

San martin logo is trash now And steinhart is swiss made, and holds value in used market and have mildly a difference in their design not full on clomage

Sorry, blame it on Jody 😂

chinese

Exactly, that's why I made this comparison video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gzx42QMPgWc.html
