let's not fool ourselves that anybody is buying those Steinharts for any reason other than to have a watch that looks like a Rolex
There was another endless piece of sales 🤬 ‘published’ on HODINKEE today trying to shift these watches;

Can we officially call this release a flop yet?
Was gonna say the same thing - if they only made 200 of each colorway yet Hodinkee has to shill em months later, think it was maybe not a very good effort
The fact that they sell out of a ridiculous travel clock in 2 hours but can’t unload these...yikes!

Yea ... Been a busy day. Just saw that e mail. Too bad they don’t allow comments on these marketing articles. No price reduction though.
Have these watches started showing up on the secondary market? Will be interesting to see how the Uniracer prices track over the next several years.
I think it is an awesome watch, with very high quality finishing of the dial. and case Subtile cross hair in red on the subdials and a slightly off white luminous hour marker. The blued hands have been praised enough already ! All fits nicely on the wrist as the case is shaped to wear small but with enough heigth to give it presence. And with a solid movement serviceable by any watchmaker, and it runs fine albeit with less tactile feel on the crown than i would have preffered. A very nice addition to my rotation !
If the UG owners had some balls they should make watches themselves, but now someone else does it for them its been made into an issue ? Lots of `inspired` copies out there so give it a rest. My only point with it is this, after a collab was out of the question Massena should have put their M logo up the right way on the dial and not pretend it is an U. But i guess he has learned as well from all this.
Enjoy !

It’s an issue because there is absolutely nothing original about this watch. All the wonderful details you point out are a carbon copy from the icon. It’s a complete shameless knock-off.
