This won't be everyone's cup-o-tea, but I really like it. It is very retro in its styling and sort of harks back to the 1950's. Case size though, is quite modern at 42mm. And it is quite thick. It features a curved mineral crystal and a curved black dial. The movement is a 25 jewel, Swiss ETA 2826-2 which is surprisingly nicely decorated. I didn't expect the decoration. The lumn on the hands is very bright and long lasting. There is no mention of the numberals being lumned in the descriptions, but they are. They aren't as bright as the hands, but they are still legible a couple of hours later. Not bad, considering I was not even expect them to be lumned. The case has a satin finish and is in the style of many of the other Graf Zeppelin watches. The strap is hand made and fits the watch very nicely. But, it suffers from 'pillow kinks' which I find never really come out. It doesn't effect the look of the strap, but it is a little nit that happens from watches being strapped around pillows in storage. The packaging is very nice. The watch comes in either a piano finish box or a flat black box with the Zeppelin logo on the top. Inside you get a QC certificate/Warranty card with dates, ticket number, signatures, etc. Warranty is 2 years.     |

Thanks Oscar. I forgot the watch has a big date which I can actually see! Also, the movement appears to have the same amount of decoration as the Marcello C Nettuno. So, that's not too shabby for a sub $500 Watch. Like I said, I was quite surprised. |

I agree. The white dial version should be a beauty. I'd actually like it for myself if it had lumn on the dial and hands. I think it's gorgeous. But, if the watch don't glow, it has to go! cat28.gif :D Attachment: 7652-1_3.jpg (Downloaded 56 times) |
