Review (3/5): Honest Review
I did some research on this watch prior to making the purchase and was initially highly interested. However, after receiving the watch there a few things I think need to be addressed before you yourself make the plunge and buy this watch.
Pros:
The Price of this watch for what you get is unmatched. But you should not be expecting anything spectacular.
Great everyday beater.
Classic Style
Reliable movement
Cons:
First things first, on my particular watch the second hand DOES NOT line up with the seconds indices. I asked countless people online if their models had this problem and all answered no. In my case, the second hand comfortably ticks exactly in in the middle of each second/minute mark. So quality control may be an issue. Not sure if its the movement or if the dial was set slightly off center.
Secondly, if you're thinking of sizing the bracelet yourself and you dont have the proper tools, dont. The link pins that hold the bracelet links together are cheap and will bend very easily. I've resized all of my watch bands myself and have never had this happen before. On the bright side this forced me to buy a dark blue nato and I think the piece looks 1000 times better.
Conclusion:
If you're looking for a cheap submariner homage and are will to take the risk on the quality control, go for it. If you get annoyed with spotty attention to details then I wouldn't buy this piece. Would I buy this watch again? If I could guarantee the second hand would line up then yes. Otherwise I'd invest my $100 in a automatic with better quality control.
