I've had this watch for almost 2 months, and my only regret is that I didn't buy it sooner. I'm just amazed as to how beautiful it is in person. It's just the perfect size, accentuating one's wrist while never overpowering it. The round section in the center with the pattern design adds a very nice distinction and flair. The transparent back showing the watch's inner mechanism is just cool, no other way to describe it. And the dark brown handcrafted leather band adds a final appeal to it, and what's more, it doesn't require much breaking-in. At first glance it's obvious that this is a very high quality watch, and if properly cared for and maintained, will give you many years of use.



But as aesthetically nice-looking as this watch is, it wouldn't be worth owning if it didn't maintain accurate time, an issue that's present in many lower-priced automatics. I have tested this watch's time-keeping ability against my battery-powered watch, and it has passed the test with flying colors. Not once have I had to re-set the time, which I needed to do literally weekly with a Kenneth Cole automatic I bought recently (needless to say, I no longer have that one).



A quick note about winding. If your intent is to wear this watch regularly then you should have no issues. But if you plan on not wearing it for days at a time, or even longer intervals, I'd suggest investing in an electrical winder so that it will be ready to go for you whenever you want. I'm no watch expert, but I don't think it's a good idea to just let it stop and then re-set the time over and over again, as that would surely place excessive and unnecessary wear & tear on the crown.
