Hi Bro,

Finally, which watch is it? Is it one of the Damasko we saw during the last gtg? Do put up some pics once you get it.

Cheers.

I like Damasko features, the build, the feel. But during hunting process, I bump into another watch that I like it more than Damasko, still German, (of which I dont have any in my collection)...This will be my first German watch, and also my very first Aviator watch...until then...just waiting...

Hunting is fun, waiting is an excitement... ;D

Datograph is the killer. Tried the PP Calatrava before with Sshark and Terrence , u can feel the vibration of the movement whn you shake it for winding. Dnt know this will happen to Lange or not

Finally, my watch had arrived yesterday evening


The packing is good


a small box inside a big box




finally reveal itself, Steinhart


the case is nice, and soft


It is Steinhart Aviation GMT, with allen key provided to dismantle the strap


Closer look of the watch with plastic wrapping


Sorry for the picture quality, capture using my phone in hurry, before my wife discover  :Praying:...
First German and aviation watch, first impression, quite big and thick, solid feel holding, strap smell is good  ;D
will try to write a review of the watch in the review thread.

1st click position is not firmed, quite flimsy  :thumbsdown: as compare to Seiko, I mean easy to pull out, but 2nd click is firmed, you can hear the sound. The 12-hour hand not moving when I change the date or GMT pointer. I have not fully tested the watch, will try it out tonight again  :Cheers:

Actually the delivery is quite fast, next day arrive, no custom problem  :thumbsup:
The only problem I have is the Paypal and the credit card, took few days to resolve
