A lovely selection of Steinhart's there, and all on Jubilee's no less. Think it has to be the GNOMON for me personally, although all very nice. The collective noun for a group of such watches? How about a 'homage'. :lol: Seriously, they're very nice, great photo too.

Congrats on the new pickup, Chuck, and another great addition to the herd. I happen to be wearing my Ocean 39 GMT today too. :thumbup:
Best regards,

Evening, there, Des..yep, they're homages & all except the 2 Vintage GMT ceramics came from Gnomon..these, CW C65s, & Oris 65s seem to appeal the most to me these days..my current taste in wrist wear may be leading me to finally splurging on a current Rolex Sub(maybe for retirement in a couple of years?)..we'll see.. :problem:

Yep, the Steinart jubilee is a very fine bracelet, both in terms of 'feel' & looks...and,my SOTC post was largely motivated by seeing your SOTC post..very well done, very interesting background presented..I have a hankering for(or own) several of yours..as I've already mentioned, I wish that there was a 39mm version of your Steiny available.. :(

Those bracelets are really great. It seems that they are pretty choosey about what they release at 39. I saw your post about the possibility of a Sub. With your love of the 39 mm Steiny's I would look at an early 2000s Sub or Sea-Dweller. The older case size with more modern movements and improvements like sapphire crystals. I've seen good examples down in the $7k range if you are patient (and especially if you don't care about box and papers). Certainly below $10k. If it were me that's where I would be looking.

Your Steinhart sub-collection is modest only in comparison to your immense collection of Ebels; for most of us that’s an impressive collection there Chuck. You clearly like them a lot and I know from past Steinhart ownership just what good value they are.

Were I to pick just one, it’d have to be the Gnomon edition; I think they’ve done a really good job with that one.

Thanx for the inspiration(enablement?) re: the Sub..I'll start looking underneath the couch cushions for loose change!!... :lol:

Thanx Gary!!..of course, I could always find some room for a fine Omega like one of yours!!..and yes, I think Steinhart has improved the quality of their offerings(properly turning bezels, aligned GMT hands) over the years..wish they'd do something w/ their clasps, though.. :problem:

D'ya know what Chuck, they're all SO nice, and you'll have built up such history and rapport with them, that by the time you find yourself in a position to blow big dollars you probably won't want to. After this terrible virus episode a very memorable retirement vacation would probably top my list. You have some lovely watches afterall.

Great "sub" collection of Steiny's there Chuck, I haven't owned one but by all accounts they are well made and great vfm watches. I'd like one day to see a complete SOTC from you, I think that would be quite a sight!
