Can not understand the criticism with loose pins. My clock was well packed and protected and have the pins and hold the strap firmly. The design alone has ever earned a lot of praise. I like the carmine particularly well and with the crystals on bracelet and bezel, it blends in perfectly. The silver dial is the crowning glory. Here are also many crystals on it, and the digits in the carmine. The handling is very easy and BM159-014 quasi self-explanatory. Krone pull out, adjust and it's done. Pointer sit tight and operate reliably for a long time. The movement also expires after 14 months still clean. Only little inaccuracy. Shut normal values may vary. Can only recommend the clock. High quality material, reliability and great look.
