Well seems like i have rediscovered the watch bug

I sold off 3 vintage omegas which arent particularly rare so i raised some extra $$$$.
The one which has been getting most wrist time is my steinhart pilot watch:

However i have now ordered a new one, which means i will flip the steinhart....

I have ordered a LE 55 pieces worldwide new steinhart with modified unitas with central second hand and swan neck regulator with display back

It is beautiful... it is a lot more expensive though.. 4x the price of the original steinhart.. $1800.. but at tis price i still think it is excellent value considering similar pieces with this modification are double the price...

here are some pcs from steinhart website:

Way cool mamas!! Back in the saddle.

[mamas]

thanks mike!
the other cool thing about this piece is that when the crown is pulled out to change time, the second hand continues until it reaches 12 oclock then it stops, for more accurate time setting which is sadly missing on many unitas based watches.

NICE Mamas!

I really like the blue hands too....nice touch.

not sure.. ordered today so i guess sometime in the new year.

I have been after one of these central hand fliegers, manual wind for a while.. then suddenly 2 come along... the other one being archimede LE to 90 watches with a NOS junghans manual wind movement.. i think 41 mm:

This one is also superb value for money.. but movement is 28mm which imho is a bug bear when they put such a small movement into such a big watch.

Congrats Mamas, I like that one... the blue hands are gorgeous, I also bet it has some great lume too

Ok, the president of the company has emailed me to say that watch will be shipped out middle of january. The most impressive thing is that he offered to pay my money back as i have already paid for watch, as delay is likley to be a couple of weeks, and i can pay for it closer to shipping time!!!

Can you imagine one of the bigger watchmakers / sellers doing that?
A real Class act!
