Just got this one today. It's a beaut! A couple of mm larger than my Marcello C GMT was, this one has a 42mm case with a very nicely decorated screwed-in case back. No-peek-a-boo on this one. :) The case is satin finished on top and polished on the sides. The bezel turns very smoothly, though not like a Seiko Sammy, and is easy to grip. Sapphire crystal with a cyclops date viewer.

The Bracelet is very easy to adjust with the screw-in links. A diver-extention deployant clasp completes the bracelet. Lume is bright at first and then fades to a readable level for several hours. Kudo's to Steinhart for putting lume on the 24 hour hand. A lot of GMT's I see don't have this feature which I don't get. I WANT to see the darn second time in the dark for crying out loud. Put a dab of lume on the 24 hour hand!!! :D

The nicely sized, easy to turn crown screws-in very snug. Yes, the 24 hour hand is independently adjustable. Hurray for that. Movement is the tried and true ETA 2893-2 with 21 jewels. All-in-all a darn good watch for the money.

Great grab Mike. How does it compare to the Steinhart Ocean? Looks sharp.

The bezel edges seem more defined, the dial detail is a tad bit better (i.e. the white minute markers really stand out), and the case back is rounded slightly and fancier.

The watch looks quite sturdy and well built, the burgundy bezel really stands out.
From the images the bracelet looks like solid links,but I couldn't really tell.

Yes, all solid links. And, the links use screws instead of pins! hand6.gif

The bright side... a few hundred $$ compared to buying a watch for 28G.Bouncy.gif

28 grand? For what watch?

I also like the Accutron Astronaut GMT at about double the price of the Steinhart and the Kiber GMT. The Choppard GMT is nice too at about $10,000 U.S. :D

Very nice. The all black monotone bezel GMT would be my choice also.

I imagine the 18K Rolex GMT II is up around that price! Yep...just checked, MSRP is currently at $25,500.00...street price is less, of course!
