Movement (inc modification work), glass, metal types, or profile of the brand (some can charge more based on image and demand).
I have an Edifice. They are lovely watches and IMO worth every penny.
Was at yoga, was using a head height locker, yoga finished, went in, opened locker, wasn't really paying attention, pulled my bag out and it was on the floor of the locker - it just slid out as the bag pushed it I didn't even see it then I heard that all too familiar sound of glass popping
Looked down, face down onto solid tile...bad times.

Obligatory on wrist shot:

My girlfriend got it for me on my 23rd birthday, and I've worn it every day - I love it!
I quite like that, forgive my ignorance, but is Storm quite a good/reputable watch maker?
re: phate rado smash.
ouch.
Indeed, so annoyed about it it's unreal!
Each to their own - Breitlings, Tags do nothing for me at all!
What a bugger.
Was the dial scratched from the glass at all?
On another note, I was convinced I was going to ask for one of these for my birthday in March (Christopher Ward Trident C60 at £365):
Then I realised that as I liked the GMT version more in the black/orange colour scheme, I'd have to go for that (but that costs an extra £185). The below Steinhart GMT uses the same movement, and has a bracelet (the Christoher ward bracelet is hideous IMO, hence I would have gone for leather).
And it only costs £330. I managed to convince myself this was the best one to go for.
BUT, then I happened upon this:
Argh! It's not been released yet, and there's no pricing info or specs around so far. I've dropped Gunter at Steinhart a message, so hopefully I'll get a reply soon (I think they're closed until the 9th though). It looks a bit Bremont Supermarine, which I love. WANT!

I just bought a black/orange c60 gmt with leather strap - £385.
how did you find out about the new steinharts?
Nice one on the C60. Did you get it in the sale?
I happened upon the Steinhart Ocean 2 purely by chance when searching for some other watch. There are a couple of threads up on watchuseek, and another on some Italian forum. I read about a potential release of somewhen in Feb, so I might be in luck for my birthday.

I really like the Steinharts. I would go with the GMT out of the three.
They look awesome and are a good brand but break easily in my experience.
Birthday rapidly approaching, and still going to ask for this me thinks:

No hotlinking please.
Just cant see anything else that I like really!
