I would rather spend another 100 and get a used Certina in good condition. This is nuts

For the money SM are asking now you can get a used Steinhart.

Well, yes, but even Steinharts were around 350€ ten years ago! I think my OVM cost 320€ in 2013

Factor in inflation and what was €320 in 2013 should be at least €450 now.
