 the lume is the same ....both use C-3 superluminova ....it would be preference to which you like better imo....I have had my L&B for a few years trouble free ....can't say that for my Enzos which I have sold all except for 1 that still suffers from the Enzo wobble at the crown to the point it can only be wound on a winder now....I have not tried any of the new Enzos if there are any so I can only comment on the ones I have ownedwatch2.gif ...$450. for a Schaumburg Aquanautic is a super deal imho hand6.gif

what actually differentiate them quality? is it the bracelet(it is not part of the case right?)? but it looks the same...

same movement also...for the dial, i guess enzo is better, the lume also..

I never said Enzo was the same quality as Schaumburg...I said they use the same case and that is where that ends imo :D....for much less my money goes with Benarus or any of the vendors here on 3T but if you want a sweet watch that has the similarities to the above mentioned buy a Bali Ha'i ....that is a sweet watch imho and very well built...plus it is larger,Swiss Made, with a top grade eta coupled by amazing CS hand6.gif

thanks for the info, i actually wanted to ask that(how it compares side by side enzo and schaumburg).

well you answered it before i asked :)

BTW have you ever tried to swap enzo's bezel into schaumburg case?

a friend of mine wants to sell his schaumburg aquamatic for 450usd, i'm thinking about buying the enzo emv bezel cause i loved that bezel..

people may ask...why did i didn't just buy the enzo?? well i cant actually afford enzo as they are now 950usd NEW.(quite expensive especially if compared to benarus barracuda :) )

handie wrote: so the schaumburg case are made by longio?

about the design, i heard that enzo mechana was actually the designer. but somehow schaumburg get their watches out first to the market. is that true :)

 

according to Enzo he helped design the case with Lindbergh but that has been debated as no one has heard this from Lindbergh and Schaumburg lays claim that Longio did not manufacture the case for them but hey apples are apples is what I say as I own or have owned every version and they are identical ...the Deep Blue is identical to the L&B Nauticfish only with a miyota or quartz and if I wanted to make an exact copy of the L&B/Schaumburg using Longio I could ...well anyone could hand6.gif
