Very good choice, Bricehand6.gif. I might get this one day. This is a very classical pepsi rendition with perfect hues of blue and red.  I like it.yourock.gif


It doesn't give up much to the Rolex, well mvt aside I am sure.

Actually, the 2893 can be regulated to be as accurate as the Rolex. Both movements will need a COA about every 6 or 7 years, but that will run about $350 for the Rolex and about $130 for the eta. I have both so I know from experience.

 

Try setting the GMT hand on the 2893 without hacking the seconds hand... subtlelaugh.gif


well it worked just fine on 2893 watches I have had.
Again i am not saying the Rolex is not a nice watch or trying to insult/offend anyone, I just think the Steinhart is super nice for the $ and from the outside looks real well finished even compared side by side with the Rolex.
I don't know inside the case to even try to compare them further. I am no expert. But for me the Steinhart is super nice and the 2893 has
always been good to me, even in myHami.
