Hi folks. I'm a new member. I recently purchased an Akribos DaVinci Skeleton from jtvwatches. It's a beautiful watch, but it claims to be an automatic. Forgive the newbie question, but how does it automatically wind without a large balance wheel ? Regards, f |

That is not a automatic. It is a manual wind mechanical. Who ever did the data entry put the wrong info in. They have a bad habit of doing that. I wish someone would teach those guys watches 101 for very often they put in the wrong information. That is a Asian mechanical movement. You have to hand wind it. Cool looking watch I almost went for one but decided to wait till later. |

Did they send you the right watch. The DaVinici has a full exhibition case back. Do you have a pic of the one you received? |

I don't have a good camera available at the moment, but it's definitely the 'right' watch. http://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Watches/Akribos-XXIV-Davinci-Mens-Steel-Mechanical-Watch/3122000/product.html It seems that I'm not the only one to be deceived by this issue. I'll direct my grumpiness to JTV. Thanks. f |

Well if they put automatic on a handcranker that booboo could be seen as making that watch a instant collectable. ;) Is the word "automatic" on the case back crystal or on the movement? |
