I am up for buying the Ocean Titanium 500 GMT Premium,in the next 4 months, hope Drop can come up with any discount as they don't seem to be discounted anywhere. Probably because the asking price is not over the top , at around $700 plus GST if applicable.
I have a few Stein's and none have bezel alignment issues. Great quality build at a fair price. The ETA automatic movement is solid and keeps my watch around +2 so good there. I guess you could say every watch made is a homage to an earlier watch is some way.
I own the Ocean 39 ceramic and although is a homage (I see nothing wrong there) I think is a great watch, I have several automatics and the Steinhart is one of my favourite.
