Triton in the house!!

Things worked out in the end! Called FedEx yesterday and they said the errant watch was on its way; tracking had it in Memphis at 12 am today. I get an email from Steinhart saying they contacted FedEx after I emailed them and got the ball rolling, I should expect the package tomorrow. About 10 am today I hear a knock at the door....FedEx!!! They really stepped up their game all around....thumbs up to all parties!

So here's a review and some pics...it was worth the wait!

I love this watch! The bead-blasted finish is very cool; great contrast with the black DLC bezel and dial. Bezel click nice and smooth, tight, no free play. The dial is really cool; I love the black/orange/white combo. TONS of Superluminova on the dial and bezel, really stands out. Hands are cool too. I was a bit apprehensive about the rubber strap with the deployant. It's a lot more comfortable than I thought and no problem unclasping as I wear it. And of course it has the all important Helium escape valve for when I...well I guess I'll never need it, bit it's a cool little orange thingie on the case!


Here's some pics:

Very cool version, cski. For sure worth the wait. Great photos, as well.

Congrats! I have been wanting one of those awesome watches. Enjoy it and wear it well.

Very nice and congrats! I am really considering the all DLC model myself. If I may ask, how much was it shipped to the US given the current Euro/US exchange rate?

500.59 euros; it was a bit less than the site stated. The all DLC would be a bit higher I believe.

Thanks! I just placed an order for the all DLC version

Congratulations! Steinhart gets A+ again for support.

I had a package go out of the normal path coming to me from Singapore. Contacted FedEx and they corrected it. They sent a special courier to me when it got to the Atlanta Hub too. Really like how they've handled such issues more than the other carriers.

Very nice photo review!

That thing is awesome, especially like the lume......congrats!!

Nice looking watch-love the contrast between the BB case and bezel. Lume looks really good too. Glad you got the shipping snafu straightened out.

Very COOL watch - No Doubt.
Really like the dial design and lume colors.
Especially like the clasp - makes the rubber look really thick.

Curious how you got around the VAT?

Enjoy.

Enjoy.

The strap IS thick, about 6mm an the lug end! As far as the VAT, the total on the site was higher than what my statement was; I believe they removed the VAT from my order.

When you click on the watch,it shows vat price and non vat price for non european nations.
Glad it finally showed up and certainly beats out all of those clone watches out there.I'm thinking about getting the dlc version since
the price is so good.So the rubber strap is nice huh?

Cool - always wondered how that was handled.
Good to know it is automatic. Thanks

Oh man, it doesn't get any cooler than this Triton Chris !!!!
I'm happy everything worked out so well in the end. This watch
looks UNBELIEVABLE ! That dial looks OUTSTANDING imho. The
orange ring, on the dial is REALLY unique, and those hands are
THE best also ! It's cool the way Steinhart did the numbers, and
markers by the way. The bead blasted case, is something special
too, along with that extremely cool helium escape valve on the
side ! ..A watch, well worth the wait sir !..I mean just look at
that lume ! Congratulations on getting this one, and having
everything turn out o.k. !..Enjoy !!!..Super pictures by the way !

Smokin watch bro..I love this watch....Wear it well..Great pics also..

very cool watch and photos Chris! I would like to own one someday, that bezel is great!

Very nice watch and pictures. Congrats!

First of all Chris...CONGRATULATIONS! Secondly, your pics are fabulous and third, I like the look of this new Triton and the lume is KILLER!

. . . Yowzah!!! Best looking Triton in my opinion. Lume is awesome, hands are great. And the "orange thingie" is the crowning touch . . .

. . . I don't believe it was ever lost in the first place. I know that Rattatuoille had it over there in Paris . . . the litttle bugger!!!!

I like it Chris!! Looks very well made and a great design! Enjoy it man!!

Very very nice. That adds another one for me to consider. Hmmmm decisions, decisions.

So many kool details on it, congrats and glad it all worked out finally!

Dude I have NO IDEA how I missed this but that freaking watch ROCKS!

The black bezel is just WICKED COOL!

Enjoy that Steinhardt!
