 Steinhausen Flying Back Dual Time Automatic (Silver) By: Steinhausen Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 1 More Information Steinhausen watch - flying Back-Dual time (+ Tourbillon)  On: 2007-11-01Steinhausen Flying Back (Owned 1 month). Neat looking watch although bulkier than I expected from dimensions given. Cheap strap. Keeps OK time and Flying Back second hands work as described. Absolute minimum instructions do not even advise that crown needs to be unscrewed before either winding or time adjustment. Also simple dual time adjustment requires a little practice to get right. Overall, cant beat the value and I got a better watch than I expected for $120. Note that although Steinhausen throws around Swiss design, Swiss tradition etc. in their advertising to give the idea you are buying a swiss watch, be very clear: STEINHAUSENS ARE CHINESE WATCHES. IT SAYS SO ON THE CASE - CHINESE MOVEMENT (SWISS DESIGN), CHINESE CASE. IT EVEN HAS CHINA STAMPED ON THE STRAP. I dont remember any mention of China in their sales blurb. Added review: 2-1/2 stars Steinhausen Tourbillon (Owned 2 months)Steinhausen Tourbillon Mechanical Watch-Silver. Nice face but strap lugs angle straight out so that it needs a good sized wrist to sit right as it has no curve. Terrible time keeper. Gains 40-60 seconds a day. A Tourbillon only has an effect on an already highly accurate watch. In this case it is a nice adornment but unless I can get it adjusted to keep better time it is just that. Claim of the most accurate watch in the world is a bit laughable. Despite verbal statement from steinhausen seller and written guarantee accompanying watch, this is NOT an automatic watch and requires winding every day. Two quality deployant straps included. Was going to return as not automatic, but kept for novelty value and, in my view, good looks. |
