Sorry for the shakiness and sniffling (if you can hear it). Both myself and my overhead mount are sick lol.
There is no Hawaii anyway, like Australia, so let's continue :)
Happy Summer Solstice Kurt. :-)
@@Costaz666 :D
@@stationplaza4631 Back atcha! (it sure is warm here in hawaii!)
Man, I just love your work. So original and fresh, those last shots of the watches, brings a tear to my eyes.
Thank you! I appreciate that! Those end shots are the most involved and time-intensive part of the video so I'm really, really glad to see this :)
Glad to see more steinhart videos!! Just received my ceramic ocean one gmt 39 too and i'm really loving it:)
Awesome. Congratulations!!!
Both watches are great. Thank you for showing.
And thank you for watching!!
Those Silicon bands are fantastic.
Great summertime options.
Great vid for two beautiful watches!!! Thx for sharing it!
Thank you for watching!
Those are some clean panning shots at the end. 👍 Good update video. Cheers!
Thank you! Cheers!
I have OVM 42 for almost a year and the watch never fails to amaze me he he. Thanks for the info on the lume. But I guess it still not a disappointment for me
I absolutely do not care about the lume on these watches. It changes nothing on how I feel about them either :)
Glad you made this video Curt!
Been waiting for this video lol.
The green one is indeed beautiful.
It was probably your idea! :p. I'm glad you're glad!
I had the OVM MK2 that had various QC issues. I really loved the design and watch in general but I dumped it as I couldn't get past all of the problems that took the joy out of buying a new watch. Glad your worked out for you.
What was wrong with it if you don't mind me asking?
Def both great pieces. Had the pleasure of borrowing a buddies OVM, great watch for the price and such a versatile piece.
Indeed :) What did he get to borrow from you?
@@minitwatch My 1521
Awesome video. I like the ocean one. Always admired that watch. ✌️
Thanks for watching, Charlie! Have an awesome Sunday SUNDAY Sunday!
Know what you mean about how some watches fade away, but others just give you that loving feeling. Speedy recovery from the sniffles!
Thanks, David! It seems I just had a bad case of allergies. Most of my watches are fade-aways but I have separation anxiety issues lol. At some point I need to sell off a lot of them ;/
@@minitwatch Please keep me in mind when you do. I may be able to give one or two a good home ; )
@@noice9709 Will do!
As always ... a delight!
Thank you :)
I have 4 Steinharts They are fabulous amazing, love em
I have that skeletool in lime green. It’s used daily at work.
It’s one of four Leatherman multitools and knives I have.
Thanks Curt! I've been looking at the Steinhart Ocean One 39 in green ($404) for quite a while, I've seen many good reviews, but yours is the first long term update I've found. While it's great you've had no other problems, it was slightly concerning that "both" your respected but affordable Steinharts with ETA 2824-2 or Sellita SW200 movements would both have mechanical issues right away. But, at least they took care of you!
You know, it could have just been the most annoying coincidence. That kind of stuff happens to me more often than I'd like to admit :p. But yes, they made it right and have been great ever since!
I haven't had any problems with my 39 ocean one which I bought in February 2018.
Glad you like your 42mm OVM as much as I like mine! Like you, I have a smaller wrist and find silicone straps really locks it down into place while also feeling comfy! (Considered 39mm OVM too, but couldn’t part with the ole 42mm) Peace!!
Pro tip for those (awesome) Barton elite silcone bands... slide off and remove the floating keeper and just use the one that has the notch in it. It makes putting them on so much easier and the notched keeper is truly all you need.
I just did this. You're a friggin' genius!
I've been getting into the steinhart diver homage range. Love the green bezel.
And those silicone straps look so good dude.
Georgeous, love them , enjoy ..👍
How do you do those cool bokeh light effects in the back?? Always a pleasure to chill with your vids
That is a hugely expensive thing. And by expensive, I mean super cheap! I use crumpled up tin foil, LED lights with different colored gels :)
Kurt, why didn’t you opt for the Steinhart 39 OVM Radium Lume? Seems it would have been a better fit for your wrist. ( I have my eye on it for future purchase -my wrist similar size to yours)
When I wanted it, it wasn't available. Now that it's available again, I can't afford it. haha!
My Ocean 39 came with the movement kinda gritty feeling/lots of resistance when winding, and then I can feel a "click" after winding it like 20 times or so. One of these days I'll send it back to them.
Great watches. I really want to add a 39 mm Steiny soon. I am definitely going to add a few Barton's silicone elites to a few watches. I have aTurtle in serious need of a new strap. The OEM bracelet is starting to get on my nerves. Hope you get to feeling better soon. Cheers.
Thanks, Steve! Already better! I just had some allergies it seems. Have a great weekend!
Great video, thanks. Try your OMV on a good grey nato. I think it’s how it may have been issued and it looks amazing. The dial really pops.
Thanks, man! I'll search my drawer for a grey one and see if I like it :)
Enjoy em both..
Thanks, Joe! Have a great weekend!
Maybe you got misluck with the lume because normally on the 39, it's Superluminova BGW9 and it's super shiny and stays perfectly readable all night long.
At least, it's my experience with my 2 Ocean 39mm with BGW9 and all the 42 I had before (sold them all for 39mm version)
I had the OVM 42 too but flipped it for the Gnomonomonnn 39mm version ;) Far better on my 6,75" wrist and more comfy.
The lume was perfect on my 42 and still is on the 39. It's superluminova old radium.
Just a question dude, do you live in the dark all day long ? :D
Note : For two of my Ocean 39, I bought the jubilee from Steinhart. I recommend you to try one on your OO39 green :)
Michael Tihon Steinhart Jubilee bracelets are fantastic!
Got em both. Love em both. Get the maxi dial mate!!
Both meaning both OVMs or exactly these two in the videos? I'm thinking about it!
minitwatch the very early ovm and the gnomon 39mm . But the larger maxi dial with plexi crystal is the bomb. Pull the trigger man. Love the channel. I got lots of Seiko’s incl some grand Seiko’s. The choc swirl being the latest. The dial on that thing is insane!!!!!
I love the 42 mm size.
my steinhart's bezel started spinning to both directions after I sent them the watch once for a repair because the bezel was stuck -___- (now im waiting for it to come back for the second time D: )
Trip down memory lane with the backwards Steinhart! Wouldn't say this is filler Curt, actually interesting to know. It put me off them a few years ago - the power of the mysterious CZcams oracle struck. Maybe worth reconsideration. My peanut is educated.
Wow, you remember! Woohoo! The problems I had was definitely a pain in the ass but getting those two were more like a journey than a purchase. :p. #educatedpeanut
Recently picked up the OVM Mk1 and can't believe I wasn't chasing one before. I'm just not interested in any of my other divers anymore.
Very nice. I have the Ocean 500 Titanium GMT, I really like it.
The Barton’s are nice. I have them on some of my watches.
Have you ever tried a Bonnetto Cinturini Strap. They would go good with most divers.
I have not but I will check them out!
minitwatch they actually make the rubber straps that are used by many Swiss Watch Brands
Go for it, bro. Life is far too short to not have some happiness. 😁🤘
In a few hours :) We'll see what happens!
I was waiting for "check the looooooom!!!!" )))))
Sorry! Next time :)
Through most of the rotation, the bezel on my ocean one 39 is really stiff and sticky, hard to turn. Wasn't always like this. Why could this be and what should I do?
@@BurntPlaydoh after one rotation, it frees up back to normal. Do you still think that is the case? And can i try lubricating it?
I eat playdoh has it spot on
@@BurntPlaydoh thank you both. Yeah I do use the bezel. Its just wierd because I cant think of how it got this way. It does seem to 'settle' as you said, after a short while it becomes stiff again... maybe I'll look more into the tools if this persists. I wouldn't want to scratch the watch case though
I had the Steinhart OVM but sold it. What bothered me was the lack of AR. The reflections were horrible. It was also a bit on the big side. They should have made it a fraction smaller but keep 22mm lugs.
Did you get one that didn't come with AR coating? Mine is great! I do wish it was 40mm, though.
For example Rolex doesn't put AR on its glass, while Steinhart O1 is using AR coating and matt black dial, so it is hard to see the troubles with reflective surfaces, you are mentioning.
LUMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😳🤯 GREAT VIDEO🤘🤘
Does the OVM has a “ghost” date position on the crown?
Yes, it does.
Yep.
Bought Batman stuff bezel but no problems great whatch
I wear this watch watching reviews about watches about the same watch. 😂
Interestingly, they both seem to wear about the same on your wrist. Lug to lug must be pretty comparable between the two. No-mahn, the G is silent. Love tracking my watches. 🤣
Ahh, silent G. Just like the silent C in my name. It's really just URT. haha! Just kidding of course :p. I am tracking a pair of socks right now and yeah, i'm that guy who gets excited for socks. But they have DRAGONS on them.
@@minitwatch of COURSE they do! 🐉🤣
@@stevenwymor1398 You know how I roll! lol
I think it’s No- Mon the G is silent!
I do too but wouldn't be positive
I think you're right!
Love your videos,even TGV copied your Dinosaur in his vids and I let him no it.
Thanks, John! I'm not sure if TGV copied me or not. I think it's more of the case that we just had the same idea around the same time. I think it's kinda hilarious lol.
Surely he would never copy anything? ...I'll get my coat ;-)
I'm first, hi mom! Not my cuppa but Steinharts seem to be made really well.
Yeah. Too derivative. And what's with the faux patina fading on the indices? So lame. Looks like a fake Rolex from a distance.
"Looks like a fake Rolex from a distance" - That's because it is. ;)
@@mountainhobo Oh right. Steinhart, Alpha, Parnis, etc. I forgot.
@@BurntPlaydoh Still doesnt make it right
Hahaha. As soon as you mentioned Jo Koy, I saw/heard the Pinoy straight away.
Bruh I even wear my Orient Mako ii when I go to bed XD
Haha! BED TIME. Get it? Waah, waah, waaaaah. I don't jokes very well :p.
Happy Saturday Curt!! Bro I absolutely love that OVM, especially on a tan leather crocodile strap, you had that on a previous video and I started looking to cop it. There wasn't many on ebay so I gave up. That watch is just fantastic.
The move not made is the worst, you end up overthinking it way too much. Next time you see that chick just approach and talk. If nothing else just talk. Hi I'm Curt, and I just wanted to say hi to you. Anything, it doesn't matter, as long as you just say something. You got this bro, enjoy your weekend and thanks for the video! Love what you do bro!
Happy Saturday back! I'll have to go back and check what strap that was. I might be able to find it for you if you're still interested and maybe, just maybe, I can make a dolla by giving you and affiliate link. BOOYAAH!!! lol.
You're absolutely right. I haven't been in the mindset of "what ifs" for a long time. I usually make things happen that I want to. One of my friend's quotes has stuck with me for years and it was "well, my lawn ain't gonna mow itself" and he went to go do it. That simple sentence had a big impact on me. And now, my back hurts. GREAT!
@@minitwatch Good looking out, but I think it was the Barton one and I already copped it for my Seiko Recraft that I copped thru your link. If I find a deal on the OVM out there I'll probably buy another band thru your link!
@@ZackMorris1 Well, I appreciate that!
nomnom watches. BTW YOU SHOULD REVIEW THE ORIENT KAMASU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"you're a multipurpose tool!!"
=p
Come on Curt you should be able to spot a trap by now, women especially those that are hardcore workout enthusiast tend to have huge ego's and her staring at you is most likely a challenge! She is trying to be an alpha by giving the blank stare and seeing if you are brave enough to interact with her. She probably will just shoot you down because that pumps up her ego even more! Stare at her back but don't smile, don't talk to her or wave or anything! Her ego will get the best of her and she will have to make a move!
William Zoom like a preying mantis? I think I knew her sister.
Innnnteresting. Fuck, man. I don't know SHIT! Women usually come to me. I've like never had to chase. lol. SO this is new to me! Your insight is greatly appreciated and makes sense.
😂 I wish every watch guy/youtuber would do this topic. Because watches fade. You don't feel em anymore. 😔
Maybe I'll make a special video on the watches that have FADED AWAY (way, way, way).
Cool, looking fwd to it. Sometimes I evaluate my collection by asking ....if I lost this watch, would I buy another one? I say no to some of em.
I am thinking about selling my Steinhart OVM mk1
sir you are not a d-bag
Why, thank you, Andy. You're a class act for sure!
🙋♂️ lol
