:-s :-s :-s :-s :-s:-| All the more reason for a Wannabe Forum.
Yep, glue them to a rail and wait for the Skeena to come rolling in.
:-d :-d
All they do is copy watches.:-s :-s :-s :-s :-s
:-s You mean to tell me that all others have originals:-s There isn't a watch company out there that hasn't copied another at one time or otherAll they do is copy watches.

Rupert.

I'm curious what your opinion of Nomos and Dornbluth is. Both produce watches that could correctly be described as derivative, in terms of the styling. The Nomos Tangente is a direct rip-off of an earlier Stowa watch with only very minor design changes. The Dornbluths look almost identical to the Stowa MO. I am sure there are other examples, but I'm too ignorant to find any.:-d :-d :-d Don't have one nor will I ever, but I do sell em. Wannabe watches probably would make great land fill. Then again, they just might
polute everything. Hazardous land fill is just plain nasty. TO THE CRUSHER!
:-d :-d
Thanks,George - One of the better watches for the money |>
I have two Steinharts I acquired just three weeks ago.
The 42mm case seems the perfect size for me. I realized the nice
fit and machining upon sizing the bracelet. The threaded screws had
longer than normal screwed ends - and the links and screws seemed
finely machined. My Sinn U1 is better - But in a different bracket and
price.
Congratulations on your newly acquired watches - If problems
arise in the future - it's nice to know they will be resolved promptly.
Here's my two - the GMT is about 4 seconds fast/24hr. - I'm happy!

I guess this leads me to ask you at what point does a watch stop being a nice design, even though it looks almost exactly like another, and become a loathsome wannabe?
The only differentiating factor I can see is the price and build quality. And even then the build quality would seem to be more than good enough for 95% of us 99.99% of the time. Fortunately my bath is not 200m deep.

I don't see how you can like the Dornbluth and Nomos - which are near exact copies of earlier designs - and yet slag off the Steinhart because they are copies of an earlier design (assuming I understand your reasons).Like them both, but my taste run elsewhere. Haven't seen the new
Nomos auto yet, that one I'd wear.
You mean like Rolex copied Blancpain?All they do is copy watches.
