STEINHART watches are designed in GERMANY, manufactured in SWITZERLAND depending on parts availability...then send back to GERMANY for dispatch to international orders.
Just the part availability takes some time to tackle... not to forget, the bad weather condition in Europe affecting the finished watches sending back to Germany... This is why you see red words of alerts keep appearing in their divers watch page...

Would u buy from Steinhart direct or gnomon?

442 EUR v 630USD.
Is there something that gnomon has that I am not aware of?

Sifu here can advise?
Yes warranty. Those bought direct from steinhart, their warranty will not be covered by gnomon. They will have to deal with steinhart directly.
I see.Thanks for the info.I guess many will weigh the pros and cons On both options.
Feeling "Seik".... need antidotes to feed my Seik-ddiction

Haha! Pai seh did not ask my network to keep an eye out for that model so no info. But I did molest that model the last time it cam in about a month plus ago?

Scs forum members cannot chope. Neither can members from other forums. But booking is open to everyone. Haha! They don't allow reservations. But you can book first. They charge a $50 deposit. That will be off set against the price of the watch. However, if you change your mind about the watch,you can use the deposit to off set against the purchase of any other watch they sell.

Deposits are not refundable.

But they don't take bookings for ALL models cos they are not sure when they might arrive. For example they have stopped taking orders for the vintage gmt iirc.

1) whole case bronze except for case back in ss.
2) yes, don't wear it. Keep it in a dry box.
3) not sureif it can or can't be serviced but I wa told that the entire module is usually replaced if it's kaput.
