Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military (OVM)
Posted: 26 Mar 2013 06:10
Stumbling across this website a few weeks back and noticed a beautiful watch on one of the WRUW Threads and asked around what that model was.
I was intrigued and did a search on Steinhart's website and instantly found the watch i was looking for!
It is the Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military ( abbreviated to "OVM"). While browsing about the finer details of the watch, the desire rosed and the OVM got the better of me. I clicked on "Purchase" only to discover that it is on back order.
Still i continued with the check out as i said to myself i wanted this on my wrist regardless of the wait.

That day was March 15, 2013.
I knew that Steinhart has shipped my watch on the March 21, 2013 so i went about my daily activities without thinking so much even though i was excited about the incoming watch.
Lo and Behold!! Kudos to Steinhart and FedEx, I received a phone call last Saturday March 23, 2013 and the courier said that he was FedEx and he was at my gate and no one was home. I asked the Abang to wait for me to rush back in 15mins but he declined quoting that he has a few more runs before the end of the 1/2 day work day. Always a believer of work life balance, i reluctantly agreed to redirect my package to a FedEx Collection Center in Expo.
I collected my watch on Monday and feeling really good about without feeling the Blues. Monday went by in a breeze and i got home for the Unboxing!!!
Package was well packed with Bubble wrap and the first view of the OVM when i opened up the wooden watch box. Yes, it was an wooden watch box that came with this purchase!
Still sitting there!!
Finally on my Wrist!! March 25, 2013
