Despite having the very similar Proteus I'll probably be ordering one of these in due course.

Also hopefully Proteus owners will be able to persuade Steinhart to produce a bronze bezel for the Proteus. :-)


The Bronze bezel option would be great for Proteus owners too.

Being a Proteus owner, you wouldn't happen to know what the lug-tip to lug-tip (ie. length) distance is for this case?  I looked for it, but could not find it anywhere. 

I haven't heard anything other than the watch wears very comfortably (I'm sure the Ti case weight is helping a far amount here too).

I'm looking forward to seeing this one in the metal soon!

Sure thing, I just measured it and the full lug tip to lug tip length is 56mm and the lug screw bar centre to lug screw bar centre length is 49mm.

The watch does wear extremely comfortably and you're right, this is due to its surprisingly light weight. However, it's a very tall watch with vertical sides so it still has difficulty fitting under a shirt sleeve in my experience.

A lot to like about this one. Like it a lot, and especially the "3 included bezels" part:0)
Watch fund a bit short at the moment as I just bought a new way to expensive bicycle, otherwise I just might have pulled the trigger on this one. But as it´s not an LE, I might just do it in the future.
Can´t wait until it pops up in someones "new arrival", and see it in the wild.

I was afraid I would like it. And I do, a lot. Too bad it'll have to wait. But it is so good to know that there are people who can afford their little joys. I am happy with that too. Wear it healthy my friend and may it always tell the time for good news only.

Looks like they may have sold what they had on hand. I just checked their site, and now it say the watches can be preordered and that they wont ship before Sept 15. Guess I had better preorder.

Congrats Chris! I like it and love the idea of a TI case and no less then three bezels! I cannot hit the buy button on anything for sometime but I do have some pre-orders paid for and coming in.
