Singapore's outlet seems to be out of stock.

[saru04]

i thought this was a watch for your younger brother...

[saru04]

Ya it is. But I'm the one looking. So of course in the context I use "I".

And also I'm the one doing the searching. He don't know about this.

There is no AD for Steinhart in Malaysia. I believe most of the Steinhart owners in Malaysia buys it online, from the Steinhart webpage.
Note that the 19% VAT will not be charged in Malaysia, but an additional 30 EUROS will be charged for shipping.
It takes up to 3 weeks for the shipping to complete.

[saru04]

I see.

How bout airport tax and all? is there any of it?

And also is it better to pay through paypal or bank to bank transfer?

Nope, just 30 Euros and the watch will be shipped to your doorstep.
If I'm not mistaken the webpage only allows payment by PayPal.

[saru04]

I see. thank you very much for your info.

Search hard enough and there is an AD for Steinhart down in SG which I believe will cut short the delivery time much as compared to 3 weeks, for a slightly hire price... Just search for Steinhart in Singapore... but if you can wait, the just order directly from Germany...

 

[saru04]

They ran out of stock for the model that I'm searching.

Not to mention buying from Singapore ADs will be more expensive than from the webpage itself.

Oops... my bad... missed out the part where our bro saru has already checked with SG... guess Germany or other brands then...

[saru04]

Nah no worries.

Most likely ordering direct from their website.

So far anyone tried ordering straight from their website?

Any reviews? Like watch condition when it arrives.

[saru04]

And what if the bracelet is too loose how do you reduce the link to tighten the watch?

Cos theres no AD here in Malaysia.

Our bro Andy (andytagheuer) has an Ocean forty-four. You can ask him a little about it.

You don't have to go to the AD to adjust the bracelet, go to any watch dealers or service centers, they do it for you for free.

I have one more question, will Steinhart Ocean 1 be too big for my brother's wrist?

His wrist measurement is about 6.10" - 6.12".

Steinhart Ocean 1 size is 42mm without the crown. Is that too big on a 6.10" - 6.12"?

the lugs confirm will overhang wrist.

[saru04]

Will it look weird or ugly?

Or is it okay cos he'll be constantly meeting clients.

[saru04]

Sorry his wrist size is about 6.7" - 6.9".

Now I'm afraid that 42mm without crown is too big.

Will it be too big? Or looks weird on his hand?

6.7"-6.9" will look alright on a 42.

[saru04]

I see. But that measurement is without crown. If with crown what will the measurement make much difference?

Oh ya he has flat wrist too.

[Everdying]

any skinny wrist will look flat la.
and for steinhart its not so much case size, but rather its 50mm very flat lug to lug length that will almost guarantee the lugs will either overhang or float above the wrist.
