Again, attacks the belief that price / performance ratio is unmatched in my eyes (not necessarily on this Amazon price). You get a really well-made housing, there are no sharp edges or corners. The Seiko-work is known and proven, does its job perfectly. The bracelet is also sufficiently massive for a 70-100-clock that here so often criticized folding clasp makes in the design template also not much better impression, is just thin stamped steel, and thus not really bad - just not massive. Yet even here was well cut and polished, no sharp edges and visually appealing. The center links are Gunmetalfarben.
In this model, I miss the red dot on the bezel, as well as the interplay of the Gunmetal middle links of the bracelet and the red of the CUs does not look as classy and makes the overall appearance for me a little inconsistent. Of course this is a matter of taste and does not affect the quality of the clock, from me there for the missing light mark on the bezel but deliver a point.
By horror stories on the internet you will be more careful in dealing with watches of this brand. For me, ultimately unfounded, have never had a problem with my many watches this company! Not one, nada, niente, none ..
The Swiss made watches of this brand are the way to recommend exactly the other manufacturers would need to access (for sapphire crystal instead Flame fusion) much deeper into their pockets.
I have watches from sense, Seiko, Citizen and other perhaps less well-known manufacturers - Invicta has price / performance Technically convinced me most.
With Amazon's tailwind can be accessed absolutely hesitation here, as long as the design appeals. My dream watch, it is not, you still keep because of their exceptional appearance and a Collection Eränzung with me.
