This watch has is fantastic and well worth the price. It has Great lume surprisingly and a very nice brushed finish. The cream colored dial adds a nice vintage aesthetic. It is also very easy to read the time on it compared to many other chronograph watches. I had planned on spending much more for a new watch but this one really ticked all of the boxes for me. It Has some heft to it and really feels like a quality timepiece.Nice enough watch. Really. But the width on the band is 20*mm, not 22mm as it states on the description. Oddly enough it says 22mm on their official website as well. I like my bands 22mm-26mm. 20 is a skosh on the small side for me. But I'll keep the watch. I just wish companies would make sure their dimensions are correct. Blows my mind because I ordered a different watch the other day and the band was tapered and it didn't state that on the site.Update 12/15I have worn this watch three times. It has become overly annoying because it is horribly balanced. Yes it has heft, but it is mostly in the face of the watch. It weighs more than the bracelet causing the face to always fall one way or the other. If I take a link out, it becomes too tight. Even with the micro-adjustments. I have another Sturhling I purchased for $90. It is far more balanced and comfortable to wear. With that being said I am going to return this. Not worth that price.I wish it was a 44 mm but still very nice. I switched the band to a black racing strap with a deployment clasp. Sharp!The watch stopped a couple of times within the first day. I was tripping because I had customized it. Thought it might be the battery so I replaced it and so far so good.They should always put a crown clip on new watches. Who knows how long it was running in the box.The watch didn’t function straight out of the box and was headed on vacation for a couple weeks so just getting around to writing this. Wanted to get a cheaper watch I could wear in the water but it doesn’t keep time at all. The set button in the middle was broke straight out of the box. Decent weight, minimal noise, and decently good looking just wish it had worked!The watch looked more vibrant in the photos. It seemed like a good value.When I opened the box and examined the watch it did not feel like a $695 watch. So I decided to return it. While going through the return information the watches photo/description appeared and showed the watch at $295. That really was disappointing!I have bought many other watches via Amazon and have had good experiences with price and quality.This time - not so much. If it was $295 from the start I would have kept it.Stuhrling make some of the best looking and affordable watches on the market. I own 2 Daytona Originals with silver and black dials and one that looks like a Rolex Yacht Master. Wear them every day! Lots of compliments!Fantastic watch! It just looks so good.Good value for money.not bad for the money .....they used to make these much better even the copies....the quality of steel etc. polished higher grade steel ...i mean any other half decent brand watch.its just the band could be better ....its brushed.other then that .... the watch is good.better then most you get online Amazon etc.i would recomend this watch !!!its got the look of a rolexwith fraction of the price.if your complaining about this watch to much your cheap!get the real thing ! or you have to spend no less then 500 _ 10,0000 for a great watch!Una consideracion a seguir q es importante, los 3 subdiales de la caratula tienen un marco con acabado cromo o espejo, esto no es notorio en la publicidad., el acabado espejo con un fondo negro se ve muy contrastante, ami en lo personal no me gusto,. en la foto del modelo aparecen hasta obscuros los marcos de los subdiales o parecieran color mate, es decir no reflejantes, creo q no deberian poner esa foto en la publicidad ya q pareciera q a proposito no pusieron el reflejante en las fotos. No a todos les gusta el acabado espejo en la caratula de un reloj y mas en fondo negro, por eso creo importante mencionar q las fotos son engañosas.I love it what you see is what you get ???Good buy.
