Thanks I just didn't know if they did that considering the whole Steinhart/Debaufre flap.
D.O., what "flap" are you referring to?
I meant when Steinhart US became Debaufre US because of another watch company didn't like the Steinhart name in the US and forced their hand to change names. I just didn't know if Steinhart would ship watches to the US, as to not step on Debaufre's toes. I like all their watches, its that there are a few newer ones that Steinhart has and Debaufre does not yet carry in the States, that I'd like to own.
Not an issue. Gunter Steinhart is great to work with, and I had my Triton in hand here in Raleigh within 48 hours of posting payment.
It comes down to price and the model you want. You're right, even though both brands come from the same place, their lineups aren't exactly the same. Strong dollar and weak Euro favor Steinhart at the moment, but who knows, in six months a Debaufre could be the better deal.
