I was looking for a cheep ETA GMT and ran up on Steinhart at the WatchSeller.com. With a fair amount of research on the Internet I purchased it thinking I was educated in what I was getting. I am taking the day off today and thought I would take it apart. What I found surprised me the quality is much higher than anything that I was prepared to find for $375 NIB. No nylon or cheep O rings, no decoration but no BS either, Sapphire crystal and it sets well on the wrist due to the low height of the case even on the 2 buckle NATO strap. It is a quality piece, this is one of the older ones that has the non hacking GMT ETA. I have had it for 3 months and is keeping time in COSC specs.

Oh MAN, Those PIX ARE OUTSTANDING! ...  And they answer a question that I've been buggin' Steinhart about for months; i.e., if the movement in their model (as opposed to the one in the Robert Watch "twin") is a nickel-plated, ALL-Swiss, version OR just one of the more common, brass-only, ETA-2893's that're assembled in Malaysia As Oscar noted, your LAST pic settled THAT issue once and for ALL! ... HUGE KUDOS! ...  BTW, I sentcha a PM! ... Thanks for checkin' it out! Last edited on Mon Jul 31st, 2006 04:14 pm by Doofus |

I understand that Steinhart also uses Super-LumiNova for the dial. Do you have any Lume shots of that beauty? That has piqued my currioisty.
