My Dad used to be a watchsmith- and I grew up watching him taking watches apart for servicing and repair works, before re-assembling all the tiny parts into fully-working items of marvel again. It's no surprise then that I was intrique into the world of watches since a young age. P/S : This is a watch site from an enthusiast to fellow enthusiasts, so you won't be bothered by adverts here. Just pure watch-reading fun, if you're into this. Enjoy the ride...

Steinhart Artic Ocean aka Submariner Snowflake
While searching more about the Steinhart GMT-Ocean Black Sea, I chanced upon the Steinhart Arctic Ocean. Now, I have always had a soft spot for the Tudor Submariner Snowflake that was issued to the French Navy in the 1970s, and this Arctic Ocean really looked cool and inviting. I wonder if there was any pre-owned units out in the secondary market at a good price?
