The OTV Magico landed yesterday....It Measures 41mm Square and 50mm lug to lug...not quite as Big as said on the Shows..but a substantial size being it is Square!...the solid endlink hidden deployant bracelet is 3mm and crown is 6mm..overall it is a Good Looking Watch and Well worth the Price of Admission  The Highlight is the Dial...the Brown or Tiger Eye effect of the CF is Beautiful and changes Color ...the more I look at it the More I Like It !!...fit and finish could be better(spots by the crown are not brushed and unfinished on mine),the movement is a Basic Miyota 8215 w/signed rotor and a Plastic Retainer... but in this Price Range very Good,but in No Way worth the MSRP(which I believe we all knew:P) ...all in all I am Happy with the Timepiece and only Time will tell if I size it and keep it  The Winder is aesthecally Pleasing but Noisy and so far it hasn't matched up to the instructions of winding for 10 sec. and resting for 81sec. Best I've seen is 5sec. Tops and it doesn't even make a whole revolution...Hopefully it will keep the Watch wound...but as far as js' claims that You can put a $50,000. Watch on this Winder...No Way  I Like the Watch and Think Lior did a great Job in this Price Range...a Little less Hype may have made my Expectations Better imho but it is a Lot of Watch for $138 and a definite Winner for the $ !....      |

Congrats Oscar!. A nice looking timepiece and a winder as a bonus. Not bad for $139 if both the watch and winder keep running...lol |

I like the dial. Simulated carbon fiber or real? And how's the dial printing? Nice catch - glad its not a DOA. |

TY,csp...so far they seem to be running fine and actually pretty accurate...again Great Watch for the $ on 5 value paysMarc...the Dial is the Highlight in this Color from what I'm hearing...the writing looks printed on but the indices are applied w/a decent lume...the main drawback to me is the Bezel...which is countersunk into the case and is a bit rough around the edges....like I said.. for all the Hype and Pre-Sale Blah,Blah,Blah that came along with this Watch I expected a decent F/F...when I sit it next to the Stovard Jurgenson that arrived the same Dayit falls short...the SJ is Outstanding...for a few $ more...  From what was said by Lior the CF is genuine :dude: |

Great job capturing the dial, O. Those are the best pics I've seen yet of the brown dial. |

I hate to rain on the parade here, but I'd keep the return slip handy and the box ready to send this baby back. I don't believe SWI has had great success with their winders either. The forecast says trouble down the road for this duo. :D BTW, I rarely "dis" anybodies watch choice. I just get a feeling with this one. Sorry! :) |

I like the watch, as far as the design that is a personal chioce. The Magico brand has had good reliability since they stoped using the movements from China. Congrats O!!!:D |

So far it has been 5 sec on and 75 sec. rest....can someone do the Math  I like the watch, as far as the design that is a personal chioce.

Oscar, Some on other forums have purchased two and both winders were DOA and from what I read Lior will replace them after some tech help to make sure the person is using them correctly. |
