New model: Ocean Two

[postur]

It's difficult, perhaps unfair, to reach conclusions based on a photo we know little about, other than it came from another forum. I think we should wait until first-hand images start being posted here from WUS members before passing judgement. However, with respect Inq's image, good eye in spotting that variance.

If it were just that one image I would not worry the slightest bit, but the actual images on the steinhart webpage share the same mis-alignment, at least on the non-blue version on the Steinhart site.

Hopefully its just a prototype issue.

Wish Triton chimes in and puts these alignment fears to bed ... as they can make or break a sale for Steinhart ...

Well you do of course realize it's Sunday? I know I spent the day playing with my kids... Also WUS is obviously not an official avenue of correspondance, so I fail to see any obligation to lurk the forums on the weekends in case someone has a question about a product.

I share everyone's concern regarding the bezel... but you all need to find some way to hold yourselves together and have a little patience.

Some advice, please. I have now tried to order this watch 3 times and never received a confirmation email or request for payment. I have sent 4 emails to Steinhart and have not received a response. I obviously have been shut out on the first round of inventory, but would like to at least get in line for the next batch. Should I just go ahead and send the money via Paypal? I have purchased one watch from them in the past and did not have an experience like this. Any helpful advice would be appreciated.

Have you tried calling them by phone? It's free via Skype...

How does that work? I have never used Skype.

Uh-oh... just checked Fedex tracking and 'Clearance delay - Import' came up. What can I expect from this?

It's a free Video conference program... also allows you to make voice calls via the internet to many countries for no charge. Works really really well.

Yep same here! From what I understand thats a customs thing... I'm hoping it's just a matter of the appropriate approval authorities not being present on a Sunday.

Edit: According to FedEx the "watch worksheet" was missing, which is needed to push through customs. They've supposedly reached out to Steinhart for the workshop. I've followed up with an email to Steinhart as well to see if maybe I can get it to FedEx faster from my end.

Sounds to me like they're scrambling to deal with the huge demand for this watch. Must be an exciting couple of weeks in Augsburg!

Am I missing something .... Did I say he needs to chime in right now? Did I mention any obligation on his part to 'lurk' on WUS? Did my post indicate that I am not 'holding myself together'?

Perhaps, you need to exercise some patience before making unsupported conclusions and character assessments ... Just a thought.

If I wish to express my desire for clarification on an essential aesthetic regarding a watch I wish to purchase in the future; on a thread started by the actual designer of said watch; whether I post that desire on a Monday or Sunday is of no concern to you ...

Additionally, as you pointed out, this is not an official ...... for information ... So why again are my inquiries resigned (according to you) to normal business hours?
