Review: Very, very pleased -- I love this thing - I am very, very pleased with the look of this watch. It shouts quality. At this price I was expected rough machining and stampings, but the metal parts and gears look very clean, the plating looks good, the crystals look good. The nice looking case is two tone the side quite ornate with a contrasting copper color. The strap even looks nice with a deep red pattern and on the back is marked "genuine leather". There are clearly red 'jewel' bearing mounts for the balance wheel, and while it is harder to see it looks like three gears also have a small red 'jewel' mounts. Looking with a magnifier glass down deep I see an additional 'jewel' bearing that is probably for the escapement pivot. Of course it's not an 18 jewel watch like the beautiful Helbros I had in high school 60 years ago, but hey, it does have (at least) five 'jeweled' bearings, not bad. This watch is virtually silent. You need to hold it up to your ear to anything at all. And what you hear is a very fast beat. I tried to count it and get roughly 25 ticks or beats in five seconds, or five beats/sec. The second hand also shows many quick small steps in a second. You can see the balance wheel is moving very fast. In general Wikipedia notes the faster the beat count per second the more accurate the watch. I bought it as an object d'art that appeals to my engineering sensibility, and I like a bargain. So it's real thick and as a watch real clunky, I don't care, I am not going to wear it. It might keep lousy time, I don't care, I am not going to wear it. When I wind it, it comes to life, that is all I care about. It is hard to wind because there is an overhang of the case over the winding stem that makes it hard to grasp. I do care about this a little. A couple of notes. You don't get a good look at the inner working from the top. If you look carefully at the photos you will see that what you are looking at under the hands is a single ornately cut plate. However through its openings you can see some of the balance wheel and the winding spring. The inner workings are much more clearly seen through the transparent back. This watch is a manual wind. That is what you want. Auto wind mechanical watches usually have a large solid rotating plate on the back that covers up about half the back window. Not that it much matters, but the watch I received differs slightly from the photos. Many of the manual wind skeleton watches on desertcart in this price range, and sold under several different brand names, are essentially the same as this watch, differing only in the face design and/or strap. One give away that the guts of these watches is the same as this one is that the hands are the same.
Review: A Great Chunky Retro Watch - The photo does not do this chunky little watch justice. It's quite elegant and retro, and so far pretty durable. I love wearing it when visiting Cairo and sailing up the Nile.

### ⭐ Watch looked and felt awesome right out of the box
*by A***R on February 8, 2018*

Watch looked and felt awesome right out of the box. Quality actually felt nice, but knowing the price tag I was not expecting too much. The watch worked well for a week or so and then the time winder on the watch quit working. For those of you who have watches you have to wind up, you know this one is not functional anymore. Now I have a beautiful watch that I cannot get to operate and do its daily functions. Not sure if I would recommend this one to a friend.
