I’m having an issue with my OVM bracelet.

First, I love my OVM. I also love the bracelet–I haven’t had an oyster bracelet in years and I can’t believe how comfortable this one is.

That being said, I lost one of the threaded pins a month or so ago, and needed to order a replacement from Steinhart (no issues, 2 replacements arrived without trouble for an acceptable price.)

Steinhart “Ocean Owners Club”

I’ve been thinking of starting a Steinhart “Ocean Owners Club” for a while, and before I write Gunter, I thought I should see if there is any interest here.

Paul Newman had several and he wore them with both bracelets and straps but more often than not he used a ” Bund” strap .

On account of price or size (I definitely wanted to have something in the 40 to 42 range) I didn’t buy any of those (I was also briefly considering some Chinese hommages too like the Pagani version of this).

In the end I have acquired a NEW (tried to find a secondhand but they were very expensive or sellers were…
