She makes a Seiko look better than the best I could make a Rolex look

That's a lovely watch. I really like them, I've one on my list for a while to buy new as a pressie to myself but I keep dithering over the size. I just think I might find 39 a tad small - not that I have massive wrists but ...

And then the Steinhart 44 is too big.

If you've a few more on-wrist shots post em up please !

A blatant plug... :pac:


In fairness I'm sure she could make my manky big toe look better than most people could do with a Rolex at this stage. Macro watch photography is genuinely the most difficult subject you could pick. The understanding of composition and light required is next level. Just seeing behind the scenes of the whole process blew my mind.

Did you buy direct or is it second-hand? I'm tempted by the new Hulk, just wondering how long i'd be waiting.

Very nice piece that Stienhart. Made the design a bit more their own and not a blatant rip off of Rolex.

But in saying that I'm loving Stienharts new 39mm Hulk!

Today's watch is the hand wound Orient Monarch.

I got it second hand, but its like new. The seller had said he only wore it twice and looking at it I would believe him.

As requested. I don't know what size my wrist is, but here is a pic with the 42mm Steinhart for comparison. The 39mm doesn't feel small.

That Steinhart Batman wears beautifully IMO. Looks lovely on the wrist.
The only thing that catches my eye is the angle on the "2"s, it just jars my eye but it would not in the least put me off owning one.
I'd get used to it quickly for such a nice watch

Arra don't worry about it like
Like i said, I'd get over it very quickly and i don't dislike it
Its just different, and its nice to see Steinhart strike out a little.

Cyclingtourist

I've posted this before but for reassurance purposes here it is again 39mm on my 7" wrist. That's tight inches or 7.5" loose inches.
It certainly doesn't wear small for me.

I didn't have a watch to go with my new Venturo strap so I built this scuba dude

Again something completely different.

the little half moon on the bottom right points to today's date (20 June). You press a button again and it moves to the month. The day is set up wrong - hadn't finished set up when i took the photo

Very cool.

My dad's watch.
It's been in a drawer for over 26 years, I resized the strap yesterday, wound it and wore it all day, and seems to still be keeping very good time.

Very interesting strap Niman, well wear and nice to see a bit of personal history out of a drawer.

Been trying to put a year on it, my mother can't remember when he got it.

I'm guessing early 70s?

I backed my first kickstarter at the weekend

I'm planning to get the green version

Postman had a little Russian number for me yesterday. Binned the tin cheap bracelet that came with it but the watch itself is a serious bit of kit for the money.

Tried a few different straps on but it actually goes well with most colours.

All for €75 delivered (5 weeks)

Haha, I did the same with the bracelet of the Scuba Dude I got many years ago. Toedeledokie! (nobody in here will get this, but it's something like good riddandce that I say when I feck something into the bin). Made me feel a little bad, but it just had to be done

Yep gone.. wouldn't even insult anyone on here asking if they wanted it.
