Steinhart Marine Chronometer "Bronze" (Brass) Limited Edition
« on: January 17, 2013, 08:48:11 AM »
Arrived yesterday after the long wait....

Packaging wise - very good





Given extra "Bronze" (Think it's brass) buckle to fit on additional strap (if needed)



The front & the back




And finally on my wrist  :laugh:



Overall a very satisfied customer (Will be my CNY watch)....and will wait for the patina effect.

And I understand that this is a special edition made for the Russian Forum.
How you manage to get it?

Superb finish movement
Blued screws
Sunburst stripes on bridges
Prelate on base plate! Or just below the balance whelk
Even the barrel wheel is well finished

Congrats

Obtained the code from a Russian friend in the UK since he is also getting one.
Guess am lucky  :laugh: He was telling me it is a brass and not CuSn8 case... Don't really care as I hv also ordered LumTec M54 which is a CuSn8 case (that's why it takes longer to get the right material). Think bronze case would hv cost more.

How can he tell is a brass? He tested it? Is Steinhart confirming it?

It was made known earlier during design stage that it is a brass and not bronze.

Not sure why it is marketed as bronze. Also noted there are few models under Steinhart also marketed as bronze, which I don't think it is a CuSn8 case since it is not mentioned anywhere in their website.
