My STEINHART Ocean 1 Vintage Red arrived this afternoon ( It's a nice surprise after a long day work boy10.gifand Big thank to Anders from Gnomon    hand6.gif  ).

This is my first Steinhart watch and my first impression is it's one heck of solid, hefty piece.  And the quality excels what I expect to pay for. First thing I do after unpack it, I change the original stainless steel bracelet to a carbon fiber strap which I ordered with the watch....

  The CF strap gives the Steinhart more "Tool watch" look.....

And it looks pretty good on my wrist too....  :D:D:D


Thank for looking and have a nice weekend guys.

Cheers,
Sang

Looks great! I bet it'd look equally great on a nato too.

Agreed good sir!

CF + Vintage Red = tool watch!

Looks great on the wrist - and I am going to have to use some more of our currency to add an "all-Aussie" flavour to our posts! Good one!

That watch looks great on the carbon fiber.  I have a Debaufre Ocean One and two Debaufre GMTs.  Is this a similar watch?

Both Debaufre & Steinhart are made from the same factory in Germany. Ocean 1 (colour line) and GMT are the same specs. The main different between Ocean 1 vintage in Steinhart to Debaufre Ocean 1 Classic is using plexiglass instead of sapphire crystal glass. On Steinhart, Super-Lum is C3 instead of C1 and no date magnifier (cyclop) on glass.

Cheers,

Sang, nice precision but... What was you meaning exactly? Debaufre use plexi? Didn't catch up there...

Sorry Hammererfjod, my bad wordings. Steinhart Ocean 1 Vintage watches are using Plexiglass.

 http://www.steinhartwatches.de/index.php?id=67&artnr=191&Sel_ID=9#191

And as far as I know all Debaufre Ocean watches are using sapphire crystal.

Hope this clear up the confusion.toon1.gif
