Review: Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military
The Ocean line by Steinhart is a group of Rolex homage divers. There are various models that cover everything from GMT Masters, to Sea Dwellers to a particularly well-done Explorer II 1655 (the Steve McQueen model),?but the bulk of the Ocean series are Submariner homages. Of the plethora of models Steinhart makes, the Ocean Vintage Military really stands out as a unique offering.?This is because the OVM refers to a very specific, rare and interesting model of the Rolex Submariner, the ref. 5517 Mil-Sub. The 5517 was a military issue Submariner for the British Royal Navy in the early 70's. As a non-civilian model, it had some special design details that make it truly unique in the Sub family. The two most noticeable differences are in the hands and bezel insert. The 5517 lacks the iconic Mercedes hour hand and instead has a broad and stubby sword hand, and the bezel insert has individual minute markers going all around the bezel, rather than just from 0-15. The other more subtle details

Perfect 15202ST
What an elegant, balanced and classic piece! This is hopefully in my future. Right now I'm just happy to post this picture taken at the AD today!

PP 5004P or 5204P
So I've been thinking a lot about which one of these to get with in next year. Love 5970P and 5270G blue dial, but wanting something more complicated and more unique. Any thoughts?Also was just approved for 5131R and can't wait till I get one.Watches: 5711/1a blue, 5712/1a, Rolex D blue, GMT BLNR, Sub Hulk, Daytona Ceramic black dial, Tudor Ranger

Pulled the trigger...advice needed...
Hello guys and gals,I'm sort of a newbie to Rolex, but have the bug now, lol. I picked up a Sea-Dweller 126600, red today. My AD also had a Deep Sea, but I opted for the newer movement and longer power reserve. Also, I think that the new movement will be in the new Deep Sea introduced at Basel? Did I choose correctly?Also my AD had a GMT Master II batman (116710BLNR) and a Submarnier date, two tone, blue dial (116613LB). Advice on which I should go with or pass on both?I also have a Yachtmaster 40 2 tone with achocolate face (116613LB).Thanks!
