What time is it? Watches and horology

Nice.

not me

Didn't someone here have one? What's the PVD like?

Yes I have one.

The PVD is actually DLC and is excellent. Very hardwearing, not a scratch or mark or signs of wear on it so far.

I now have the ceramic bezel insert, which is fantastic, and a black leather strap fitted.

that's a fucken cool watch

sorry, forgot where i was. "timepiece"

that is an exquisite timepiece

probably 0.5mm too big for me though...

I now have the ceramic bezel insert

Best decision you can make when picking up an Ocean One from Steinhart.

Ve-ry nice... I'm calling them in five minutes to see if they've got any ready to leave the warehouse...

How much extra is that? Show me the difference...

Difference is about 30EUR. You can select it as an option on the normal Ocean One's but you'll need to email them if you want to add it to the Ocean Black.

Side by side:

Ceramic on the far left, aluminium in the middle... nothing to see on the right.

Ceramic also has the benefit of being almost impossible to scratch unlike the much softer aluminium inlay.

Sexy snowflake flavour anyone?

It doesn't work for me... the colour difference on the lume is really off-putting.

probably 0.5mm too big for me though...

You sound like Ed moaning about sitbones.

Here's a link to the ceramic bezel for the Ocean One Black by the way:

Very nice...

c'mon aroogah

I think you're right... Just spoke to a very abrupt German lady at Steinhart, three week wait... May do that when I get back up to the office in a minute...

The Big watch fan who sits opposite me is having kittens, he really wants a new watch but can't afford one... Just bought a house and getting married next year... "You're buying WHAT?!?"

Lolz...

Ceramic on the far right, aluminium in the middle... nothing to see on the right.

You mean to have right and right?

I think Tim meant ceramic on the left...

that is an exquisite timepiece

Bingo...

thought the shiny one was the ceramic one.

nice though...

And TS i think you should:-)

Souls one in person is amazing

EDIT: Souls Steinhart is amazing in person

is there no/different lume on the hands?

Soul is a great guy, true... Dodgy taste in football teams, but what you gonna do?
