The Watch Thread - Part 10

[ImpatientStudent]

thanks man, your reply has really given me the confidence to hoot liao..

yeah i'm aware of the prestige of OVM, but it doesnt appeal to me leh

but as wad other bros advice, i'll drop by gnomon to try those 2 Ocean 1s lo thanks appreciate it loads..

i read too that steinhart were previously focussed on homages, but the Ocean 1 Titanium was their first attempt to establish their own brandname hehe

OVM Maxi LE with hesalite ftw!

 

[AyuReady]

Is that the reason to buy from them instead from steinhart ?!!!

HOLY SHEET!!!!!!!

why now den say

 

[dsclaymr]

Yup... because it's my watch
Bought it at Big Time.

Have you tried them on at Gnomon? Quality wise, i'm sure they'll last long enough. I'm waiting for my Ocean One Bronze to arrive.

Wah! You really FHFL! Ocean One bronze iirc just launched abt a few days ago nia

(which is also why i prefer the submariner to Rolex GMT)

and

the Mk2.5 is the newer version, but the Mk2 is the original homage to the 5517 aka the original OVM?

 

[cichlid]

For those targeting BB and Sub, may want to have a look at the MM300 also. Value for money Japanese goodness

OVM mk1, which is the one with the black dial, is the original OVM and homage to the 5517. This is the one i got from boss gx84. He ghosted the bezel for a more vintage feel.
