The watch.... Well it was delivered today, five days from Germany! Came in a nice box but didnt take any pics of it because i knew you guys would rather start in on the watch (box looked nothing like a rolex DSSD box 
Opened it up and was impressed with the dial and the 24 hour hand(GMT) and 12 hour hand were both set at the same time(hour hand set at 6pm the gmt hand would be pointing at 18 on the bezel and the date changed right at the stroke of midnite with both hands dead on 12, the ETA 2893-2 winds very smoothly and has about a 40 hour reserve, you can only use two times zones as the red GMT hand is a 24HR hand and you would use the bezel to time the second zone. Blue lume that glows nicely and seems to stay lit for a good time, bezel is easy to turn but zero slop in it and being my first sapphire bezel was again impressed with it. Bracelet is brush finished and polished on the sides of the link, with screws to remove the links and the screws were very cool the very end was in bolt terms pilot bolt which mean there is no threads on about 1/4 off the bottom of the screw and just a hair smaller, it is used as a pilot to direct the screw into the link and make sure there isnt a chance a cross threading the screw and messing up a link or screw! Clasp is a standard diver flip lock that really fits nice and has four micro adjustment holes but NO DIVERS extension. Case is polished on the side and done very nicely, the bracelet is a nice tight fit between the lugs and the crown screws down very smoothly, cool caseback and at 14mm no where near that other watch! Over all i like the watch and think for the price it is very well built and still dont get the connection to the DSSD but i dont own one and might feel different if i did! The letters on the chapter ring arent very noticeable until you take the pics and then they jump out at you, this was very suprising to me because in real life they are a very light grey but in my pics look almost black! i feel the fit and finsh are worthy of a watch costing at least twice the price!As always wiped it down real good and still got lint on the shots, the red GMT hand is just perfect its something on the dial, took these shot when sun was almost over the hill and did a few indoor shot of it next to my Rolex Sub and Breitling SeaWolf to give you the idea on size. Sorry about the lume shots i just cant do them and yes that a quartz seiko alien in on of the winder slots that just doesnt work is so loud that its used as storage! Ok on to the pics and hope i stil have a little bit of your respect Adam 
and i totally understand why you feel the way you do 
but all in all feel i got a pretty sweet watch for 500 bones and some change!
Swiss made German watch on my German BMW...
Sorry....
another horrible shot but a look at how much thicker the Breitling compared to the Steinhart.
Thats it guys and hope a made a little sense in all of this, the watch is in no way a Rolex but i feel its a well made watch and at this point i'm real happy that i went for it! When the three hander come out all bets are off!!
Bezel is the bomb.
