    Re: Latest Acquisition

    So what do you think of your VR?

    I'm biased as I own one, although I've not had it (or any other watch) on a NATO before. I'm getting closer each day to trying one.

    I like it, not very heavy and very neat and clean

    The only little thing is , I thought it was going to be a bit bigger dial wise

    But its a keeper

    8) Very nice - got a normal Ocean 1 on a Bond at the moment.

    Thinking about getting some green and pepsi/coke bezels to switch between.

    And a Ocean 44...

    I was thinking of getting one, but your comment on it being light and the dial being a bit small is putting me off.

    Anyone else care to comment? I like my watches heavy and biggish.

    Thanks

    I'd like it a whole lot more if they'd just picked different hands or a different bezel font. I'm sure you know what I mean...
    It is very nice though, but that puts me off :?

    I had an Ocean Black, which has the same case dimensions, for a while earlier this year. It was a quality piece of kit and great value for money, but it was too big for my taste/wrist. It wears a great deal bigger than a Rolex Sub and, with the bracelet, it has quite a substantial weight.

    I think, given your requirements, it will suit you well.

    This looks great on the NATO. I'm very tempted by the GMT version of this at the mo' and I think that will have to go on a NATO too as it looks so good on yours. Wear it happily :)

    Thanks. I have heard that the strap is flimsy/lightweight/has a cheap feel to it. Would you agree? Not that it's a deal breaker as I presume something else of better quality can be fitted if necessary, but a shame if it is.

    Just been bought an Ocean 1 green for Christmas. I have looked and drooled but am not allowed it until Dec 25th. Cracking watches.

    I have been lusting after a Vintage red since the time they did not offer the sapphire crystal but only the plexi and then I just kept getting distracted and strayed for a bit. Any idea if they still offer an optional plexi glass while you order?

    I've owned several Steinhart products - good quality stuff, you'll enjoy that one.

    Looking good. I have had a couple of Steinharts but I have had to sell them on as the lug to lug length is too long for my wrist. Pity as they are great watches for the money.
