Automatic with GMT function movement
Brushed 316L SS case, slightly black PVD coated solid.
Black dial, magnifying lens (inside crystal) over date.
44mm diameter without crown
50mm with crown
53mm lug to lug
24mm leather band
Luminous steel hands
Mineral glass
3 ATM

This one arrived in three days from Hong Kong, first impression is that it'sa good looking watch. However on close inspection you can see to pieces of lint inside the dial, band is stiff, holes to small. Lume looks good in daylight, but only last about 1 minute at night. Worst lume I've seen. That along with the black hands make it hard to read at night or in low light. GMT function works well, first 48 hours watch gained 9 seconds. It's a nice size watch, not to big or small. Band is a bit short, would work to maybe an 8" wrist, with little tail. Case looks to be well made, and the PVD coating looks well done. Crystal looks to be coated. Screws in lugs arrived slightly buggered up. I guess they only have one screwdriver in China. :smallscared:

Looks cool but I would stay way from these in autos and stick with the Unitas clones.:shock: Hard to bugger that up. Also I think the supplied strap is meant to be tossed and you can get something real nice for it from any of the awesome 3T strap vendors... which might cost as much as the watch but will be worth it in every way!

Actually of the  7 of these I have, the nicest ones so far are 3 of the the auto's. I'm finding alot depends on who you buy it from and where they are getting them from. The manual wind (47mm) I am going to get re-lumed, and put in a real Swiss ETA/Unitas 6497-1. That and a new strap and it will be a fine watch for about $300.00
