Just Pulled the trigger on a Steinhart

[sharrkey]

Well after reading loads & loads on here, i've decided to buy a Steinhart Nav B-Uhr II 44 mm hand driven, BUT with a Gold Plated Movement
Will post some pics when it arrives, but here's a couple from the web site

Cant wait :mrgreen:

Excellent choice, congrats!

They are really great watches, especially for the price.

Gunter and co. makes some of the nicest watches for the money. Congrats on the purchase

I'm interested in ordering a Steinhart after seeing someone's beautiful Nav chrono II.

What's the story with yours? Any pictures to share - assuming you have received it.

here is my, picked it up a couple of weeks ago when I went to Munich.
had a nice time with Guenter, he showed me his latest designs.

Great value for the money, you cannot do anything wrong.....here you get a GEN for the price of a so called super rep

By the way, the chrono comes now with english day and datewheel.....only the first 100 pieces came with German layout.

Thanks Guru - beautiful piece.

About the date wheel - I saw that; and now on the Steinhart website it does say something like "NEW English date wheel". Not that its a big deal, I actually think its a little more unique with the German date wheel.

agree on that but Guenter told me that 90% of the watches will go out of the country and more people know english then German. He is selling a lot to Asia.

90% - wow. I wouldn't have thought it would be that high, but I can certainly understand.

You guys have a couple of great watches. I go to his website all the time. I will likely get one someday.

FWIW, I'm sure you could order a German language day wheel from Ofrei or Cousins, etc.

BTW, I agree with you about the German day wheel being cooler.

 

[guru]

agree, would look more origional on that watch.
if i get the chrono, i will ask for it.

I've been talking to Gunter for a couple days now.

Think I'm going to go for the Nav B Uhr instead of the Chrono. I love the looks of the Chrono, just would never use those functions, and the price difference is not tiny.

Just trying to decide mechanical or automatic......

i have been having the same thoughts.... i had a handwind before.... and i am leaning towards that but i love the symmetry of the auto too... i want the older diamond crown though... i don't like the new crowns myself...

Steinharts are great value. Can any one tell me if the VAT is applicable if one orders it from the US?

jk

 

[LegendofSpeed]

VAT is for EU buyers only....

I know what you mean, but the diamond crown is only on the larger models, right? As I type this with the PO on my wrist I cant imagine going bigger.....

I wonder if Gunter would swap out the crown?
