Well it was a rough afternoon deciding whether or not I liked it .
This is the first one I have got that had real problems with fit and finish it was a bit disappointing but I think I have sorted it all out after some bracelet reconstruction....
I told a fellow wiz I was thinking about this watch and he promptly bought one for himself, even paid for overnight shipping! I waited a couple days longer to make up my mind and used a coupon to get a discount so It served him right for the preemptive watch purchase :D
I can say the watch head is remarkable fit, finish, bezel alignment crown etc. all perfect it even has a nice light blue AR finish on the inside of the sapphire. All the hands line up and the date rolls exactly at 12.
The bracelet arrived scratched from shipping without any mylar to protect it. After removing the bracelet and refinishing the brushed finish I then discovered that a couple of the removable links were defective since I had already re-brushed the bracelet I elected to fix the links too.
The clasp hardware was so tight that I had to pry it apart and loosen it, of course I scratched the clasp under the bail doing this but it will clean up with the dremel the first time I have to get serious about a scratch on the clasp...
Then I noticed a spec of dust on the minute hand so I had to open it up and clean off the minute hand...
With that all out of the way a quick once over with the cape cod to soften the brushed finish ever so slightly and I am satisfied that it is acceptable!
Next time I will take a much closer look before I start in on a new arrival though, it would have been easier to send it back for another one!
