Hi Dean.

Debaufre in the USA is the same as Steinhart watches in Europe (maybe of interest inorder to skip customs):
http://www.steinhartwatches.de/index.php?id=67&Sel_ID=9&lang_nr=1

They had to change name in the States because of legal reasons. Now, I do not own any Steinhart Diver (yet), only a Nav B pilot Flieger watch, but from what I have heard from every owner of the Divers, the quality seems to be excellent! Speaking for my Nav B, it is not only gorgeous, but an excellent value and great quality hand6.gif. I was told,  that there is a linkage to the swiss producer Revue Thommen/ Grovana, so there is some overlapping in their offering. The Steinharts are cheaper so. Guenther Steinhart is a very nice person and a real WIS, so you can always give him a call or send him an email. Service is great, but because the company consists basically of more or less two persons it sometimes takes a little bit longer to get an answer.

As an alternative in this price range/ design there is also Marcello C, great watches but a little pricier...

Hope this was of some help!

all the best

Jan

That is an excellent watch. I want one myself. I now own both a Steinhart diver and a Robert Magnum thanks to our sales corner. Both are REALLY nice watches. I don't care for the name DEBAUFRE
but that shouldn't matter. I just like the name Steinhart better.

Grovana, Debaufre, Steinhart and Robert all have lool-a-like divers. Most likely all are sourced from the same factory. Robert has gone low-profile of late and Grovana has broadened into a larger catalog of watches. Debaufre and Steinhart have continued to offer more core WIS timepieces.

thanks for all the input , you really nailed it with the name, that was my only gripe about the watch, the prominant brandname slaped across its face,and its french to top it off...lol  Yea the marcello is much higher thats almost chrono territory to me.
