any bros own any of these 2? any comments?
I have the aviation gmt. No complaints. But unlike other 2893 movements that I have, steinhart's 2893 winds like a quartz. Extremely quiet. Same for my steinhart ocean vtg gmt. I let bro Badern have a feel last Saturday. He was very surprised as well. U can't feel the grinding at all.
interesting to hear that.
is it only the gmts that are like this or all steinharts are like this?

Yep... Brudder Rogue is the only one with AVIATION GMT that i can recall...
As for TRITON dual time... i don't think any brudders here had one yet... or maybe i didn't keep track much on other STEINHART diehards here like brudder STEPPER, MobileNerd as well as Rogue-Hog...
Considering the price against other STEINHART dive watches, TRITON dual time is much VFM than O2, personally on the movement.
Yes, I'm kind of leaning towards the triton dual time as well since it is newer (i think) and also the yellow really stands out IMO.
However, i also like to add a square face to my collection which the aviation gmt is.
hahah...choices...or dilemmas depending on how you look at it.

Seems to be only steinharts using 2893 only. I have a baume et mercier running on 2893 that winds with the usual winding sound. You can't even feel the friction on the steinhart 2893's.

just a public service announcement.
for those who are after the OVM, Gnomon has fresh stock coming in tomorrow.
I'd suggest that you book first or get it through their website and pick up tomorrow. cos the last shipment was sold out in less than 24 hours.
here's the link:

Brudder Rogue's OVM is not from Germany one... is from Beach Road de...

Bro, no need PM, price is dependent on exchange rate for the day so you agar can calculate. (€295 + €30) x exchange rate (in my case 1.621) x 1.07 (for gst) + (SGD$10 - Fedex admin charge for paying gst on your behalf).
But as I ordered 3 watches together, my shipping is only €10.
Do take note that the OVM is back-ordered again and next shipment is expected to be end May. Also if you order direct from Steinhart, GnomonWatch in SG would not honor the warranty, so its your call if you want the peace of mind or saving.

Actually not directly from beach road. Someone booked one from gnomon. After 3 months plus, stock finally came. He picked it up and put it on SG-roc for sale the same day. My friend snapped it up the same night. 3 weeks later my friend got tired of it and sold it to me for $550. It was 3 weeks old when I bought it.
