Review on ⌚ GWC14036S Gotham Silver Tone Mechanical Watch with Cover by Julio Solano

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Solid workmanship / great service!

I like the watch very much even though it was only a few weeks ago. It's very attractive and functional. I found it very interesting that the Roman numeral 4 is written "IIII" and not "IV", but I have since discovered that this is a very old tradition in timekeeping. Looks historical, works well. I particularly enjoy watching the time go by inside me - although Tempus Fugit is particularly relevant when you spend it watching the time doing just that. Result is a wonderful thing. I rated them a 4 but to be honest I can't afford anything that matches a 5 - it's probably a 5 for a range of pocket watches under $100. Update - shortly after writing the above review I dropped the watch - now I know the fob was on for some reason - and it stopped. I put it aside and one thing led to another and it wasn't until August that I finally found the time to do something about it. Of course, the official channels for refunds and others have been closed. A simple email to Dave in Gotham resulted in a replacement being sent the next day. Because of the quality of the company that offers this type of support for this product, I've upped the rating to five stars - if in doubt then be confident and dare!
