Stuhrling Original Men's Pocket Watch Stainless Steel Analog Skeleton Watch Hand Wind Mechanical Movement Stainless Steel Chain

My 14 year old asked for this for his birthday. He wanted a vintage one but we didn’t want to buy him something old that would need repairs. This watch fit the bill for the aesthetic he was looking for. It was priced well and the quality of the watch is great. Sometimes he says that it ends up a few mins behind after a day but I have not verified this myself. I’m happy with the purchase and how easy the watch is to use. The silver design is very beautiful too which just makes it look more authentic.

I have, up to now, six wrist watches and two pocket watches ranging from a $50 Timex for work, to a $800 Swiss Rotary (we Brits love our Rotary!!). What do I have to say about my new acquisition? My Stuhrling arrived earlier and I set it over six hours ago against my Rotary. So far so good!! I have no plans to submerge it in water, nor do I intend to have it engraved. I am not a captain of industry, and neither am I too upset if, in time, it proves to gain or lose the odd minute over a 24 hour period. My 76 year young other Rotary, passed to me from my grandfather, gains about a minute every four days, but I wouldn't get rid of it for the world. This piece is beautiful, well constructed and a welcome addition to my collection. I would recommend this little gem to anyone who wants a beautiful timepiece, and especially at the price.Update: It's Murphy's Law that within an our of my review the watch jumped an hour. I called customer services, and within 18 hours a replacement arrived. This watch has been running for over 24 hours without a hitch. More interesting is that the box of the first had, embossed in gold, on its orange lid the name Stuhrling, and inside one elastic band to the right with the documents. With the new one, embossed in gold on the lid, is a quote from Max Stuhrling, and inside an extra band on the left under which is acleaning cloth. It is logical to assume the second is a different, and more recent batch that has resolved problems encountered by previous reviewers. A hint. My gran always told me that when setting the time of a mechanical watch always do it clockwise, otherwise you are rotating the mechanism against itself. This may have an effect on the watches life and continued accuracy. P.S. Thank you Amazon, for your excellent service.

Hand wind... this is a def talk piece from its back view into the inner windings, the little kick stand for putting on your side table to it's sleek outside case. My gf loved it. Keeps great time,don't forget to wind. Love the tick tick tick. She wanted a pocket watch and I def hit a home run with this beauty. Thank you.
