Thats a beautiful shot Bloom.  I notice some small differences between your Triton and mine and Skipdawgs.  Is your's the new model?  It's beautiful.

Hi Willieboy,

This is indeed the new Triton model; I really like it a lot!!!  The main difference besides the aesthetics is the lume is much better than the previous version.  Not sure how or what Debaufre did to brighten and strengthen the lume, but they definitely got it right this time.  ThumbsUp02.gif

Another neat difference is the lugs are now hex bolts vs. standard lug pins.  You'll have to see it in person to know what I mean, but the watch ships with a special hex tool for strap changes.  Very cool. 

Now I'm just waiting for the metal band to be released....

Hex bolts sure sound like a step in the right direction.  I think your watch also has the ETA movement vs. the Selitta movement.

I like how the date box is now a lumed circle.  Very classy.

You're right Willie about the movement; I totally forgot to put that in my previous post. Good catch!!

Some Triton/Enzo Bund shots:

 



 



 



 



 



 

I don't know if a dive watch on a bund violates some watch fashion rules, but this outfit is exceedingly comfortable.

 

Thanks for looking.

I have puchsed two Debaufres so far andd have been very happy with both.
The first was the Nav B 44mm with the diamon cut crown.


The second one I just received on Friday 1/30/09 The Csar in SS with two straps the dark brown and the Mustard brown. I like the mustard better. This is a very comfortable watch at 44mm. The cron does not hurt the wrist and the fit and finish is perfect

It is very easy when a company produces a great product at a great price. Not a TV brand!!! Just a solid watch company!!!!!!!!With a great staff with great support. What more can you ask for....Just another arm to wear a watch on..LOLperfect.gif

Anyone know of a Euro distributor that one can get a Steinhart watch from and shipped State side?
They have some really nice watches that Debaufre does not offer on this side of the pond and I like to get my hands on some. Plus I kinda like the Steinhart name a little better. I still don't know how to pronounce Debaufre.

Order from the Steinhart website. Gunter will take good care of you:

Thanks I just didn't know if they did that considering the whole Steinhart/Debaufre flap. Seems with the Dollar eeking up on the Euro that going that route might save some coin as well.

Here is my Nav B LE with some vintage German Gear. Sorry the picture is kinda poor. I don't have a good camera for closeups.

A different look for my Nav B 44mm with new Maratac ZULU 22MM 4 ring NATO STYLE BLACK SS strap. It is a different look. I have never had a NATO strap before, Still not sure about it.

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. ThumbsUp02.gif

Hey Danny - just to confirm, yes, both companies will ship anywhere, i.e. Debaufre ships to Europe, Asia, etc and Steinhart will ship to the US.  I will add here the usual warning about overseas shipping; check your local import procedures so you know what to expect as far as taxes, tariffs, broker fees, customs delays, etc.  You would think that things like this would be standardized, but I have heard stories, both good and bad, about a wide variety of experiences folks have had when ordering overseas, either from the US to abroad or the other way around...so again, just a reminder to try and check as thoroughly as possible with your local government regulations so you know what to expect and are not taken by surprise by additional fees, taxes or broker bills....

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.

Bigrustypig, very nice Debaufre Nav-B you have there, I really like the dial/face.  I don't believe they look like that anymore with the Nav B and the movement # 6497 on the face?  Anyway, great looking watch and excellent pictures. 

Well, I guess it's time I figured out how to post pictures to the site although my collection isn't nearly as exstensive as yours, cheers.

Thanks

Hey Dan....the orange/black bezel was offered by DeBaufre last years but is no longer in their line-up....DeBaufre is having a sale on the GMT right now and they do still have the pepsi and coke bezels available...tell them you are a 3T member and they will take great care of you hand6.gif

The eta 2893 that DeBaufre uses is sweet and winds ultra smooth...mine runs well within COSC specs and has awesome lume to boot! perfect.gif

Oagaspar,

Thanks for the info.  I have the pepsi dial version.  I was just hoping to pick up an extra bezel and that orange and black looks fantastic.  Thanks for the reply.

Anyone know when we're going to see and be able to buy the new Nav pilots from Debaufre? In the meantime, can we still get them with the Steinhart name or are they gone, as well?

The new NAV line is still in process, no specific ETA yet, but watch this forum, we will definitely announce it when they are ready!
