 The Vortex's case is in aerospace grade titanium, executed by Fricker in Germany: Here, for the case, you get much more for the money compare to others.
Don't know where the Steinhart cases are made: They don't have to be made in Switzerland for having the Swiss-Made stamp on the dial but they may be. Anyway they are in S-Steel and them DLC seems to be a good PVD, nothing else.
It don't seems to be close to the DLC used by Dievas on the AGV:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKt8LN8lHLw

Vortex's titanium case is therefor lighter and stronger than S-steel...Will resist better on scratches/dings.
It's guaranteed to 500m at list: Dievas allways underate them water tighteness for quality/security reasons.
The 2824-2 is also adjusted...
Honnestly, for me, the Vortex win.
Read the specs on them site: It's impressively much watch for the buks.
