How does the steel feels compared to Rolex 904 grade?

Hi all. I'm new here and this is my first post.
It took me some reading on the net for Steinhart's feedback before I decided to purchase the GMT (black). After placing my order last Saturday, I finally got my watch from Fedex delivery this morning. I must say I'm very pleased with the turn-around time since I stayed in Singapore. However, I was really disappointed shortly the moment I checked the winding. This is what I've wrote to Steinhart immediately: Firstly, the GMT hand does not rotate smoothly, but rather moves every 2.5 second mark as i turn the crown. Also, it only moves once after about a full turn on the crown. Secondly, as I wind the Min/Hr hands, the GMT hand rotates slower than the hour hand. That is not in sync with the Hr hand. Hopefully they would attend to my enquiry soon. Guava. |

Hi,
IMO that sounds about right to me for the 24 hr GMT hand and the hour hand. The GMT hand should rotate at half the hour hand speed. The 2.5 second represents 24 divisions.

I think Grovana and Revue Thommen are part of the same group. Nice to know the Steinhart badge is back. The last I heard, its previous owners closed it down and rebranded as DeBaufre after legal threats from Hanhart I think. Does anyone know the story behind Steinhart's resurrection? |

904L S.steel typical applications include Processing plant for sulphuric, phosphoric, and acetic acids, vinegar pickling condiment factories. Pulp and paper processing Components in gas scrubbing plants Seawater cooling equipment Oil refinery components Wires in electrostatic precipitations And as far as I know Rolex are the only manufacturer to use this kind of 904L steel Stainless steel for the purpose of watch case parts making its slightly more corrosion resistant than industry standard (316L)AISI 904L is a optimum choice for manufacturing of stainless steel for use in chemical corrosive plants.

To revive an old thread... I have just placed an order for a Steinhart GMT-Ocean 1 Blue Red and eagerly await its delivery from Germany. I have heard nothing but great comments about Steinhart watches and at 390 Euros it sounds like a real value-for-money timepiece being a Swiss made automatic!
