My Steinhart Aviation GMT has arrived this morning, sorry I do not have my own pictures yet. This picture was before the seller sent it , I will take pictures tonight.
Trust me I am wearing this baby, it is lovely.
The seller supplied 2 new straps for the long wait at no extra charge.

Good morning 3T!
I'm still wearing the new arrival, it's dressy enough that I can wear it to work. This is gonna be a versatile watch! Only thing is the bracelet really seems like an afterthought!! But love the watch overall anyway!

Thanks, TrentThumbsUp02.gif

Neo, that's a bad**s watch you have there. That's one I like a lot. Brice, forgive Seiko for the bracelet. It's the head that really matters. That Sumo will be a keeper.....believe me.

thankyou.gif Jeff! I gotta say (and it's (I'm) weird I know)subtlelaugh.gif... but as much as the Black Sumo had not clicked at all for me, don't know why, and I flipped it right away at the time....this one is just the opposite... I love it.. the head anyway and will be keeping it.. I think as of now!subtlelaugh.gif What the heck was Seiko thinking with the bracelet... Not only I am not fond of the style but it could work well with the Sumo style if built better... but it is too thin I think for one which I could forgive :), but the lugs are too narrow, should be 22mm IMHO... mostly the problems are 

1- that the end links just DO NOT go with the lugs, do not fit well AT ALL... like they never thought of the bracelet in the design process and just picked whatever they had in the parts bin and slapped it on.. The end link is not thick enough and does not fill in the lug so itis flush at the top but it also does not match the lug angles/shape.

2- The clasp is almost INvicta cheap...whichone.gif

 Oh well I still love it but will be looking for a new bracelet for it, it'll be funThumbsUp02.gif

If you check their forum, they occasionally have specials for Members...I stumbled on it one day and they were having a 30% - 40% off special...so I joined (never been back)...that's when I grabbed it!

That's the problem I usually have with Seiko...for some reason they seem to make the lug spacing too small to visually support the head.  On some the get it right, and on others (like the Monster) they make it up by notching the bracelet...but in general, the straps usually look to skinning...That said, I own about 11 of them!

Watchadoo bracelets do well as the have a heavy look, but I think I'd go for a custom strap that you can have "notched"!

I bet that makes your suit look cheap, wonderful Rolex Trent and I am sure I have said that in the past.
It is funny I can imagine spending thousands on a watch but not a suit...odd

Hi Bill. Good question but NO....not wearing both watches on the same wrist. I just did that for the picture opportunity to emphasize the massive size imbalance between the Frankentuna and the Zenith HW.oh my.gif

I agree. May ask Paul to make me a cool notched thick strap for it. A lighter color with dark blue stitching maybe.
I also plan to get a Watchadoo or Monster bracelet for it.
