This watch is a real stunner. The design harks back to the golden days of American watch design and this is an excellent interpretation. The quality throughout is really very good and compares very well with other far more expensive brands.In fact this piece is a quite a bargain considering the quality of the well chosen movement. The looks alone are very retro distinctive and I can think of no other watch that is anything like this.
If you can ever find one of these, you will wear a very rare and beautiful unique piece indeed.
