Well I am considering buying a Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military
I know almost nothing about them
I know there are three known versions
they are all modeled after this watch
the Rolex 5517
there were only 1200 of these made
prices if u can find one are OVER 100 thousand English Pounds
Well as i am not independently wealthy and do not have a extra 150 grand for a watch
i found these Homage and they are super nice
I prefer the taller crystal and black dial
I am looking for one that is like new
i know i will need to do some modifications
to this to make it to my liking
like removing that terrible lume pip and making it like the Rolex
and also drilling out the lugs so i can use shoulderless spring bars
so i can add that Nato strap from time to time too
i want all the original stuff it comes with new too
They look quite nice in reviews
and I love the no day or date too
Looks to me like a beefier version of the Citizen 51-2273 which I love
Any help will so be appreciated
Stay safe out there
God Bless,John
here are a few pics of these watches
