Review on TREEWETO Antique Skeleton Mechanical Numerals Men's Watches by Jeffrey Sanders

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Satisfied with my new watch, on the first day

Looks good. I love that I can see the movement and that is the main reason I chose this watch. They are lighter than I thought. They lost about 15 seconds in 12 hours, which isn't too bad. I didn't do the full 30 turns for fear of overstretching the mainspring and shortening the life of the watch. I only did 22. I was surprised that the watch has a "non-crackling" mechanism. I don't remember reading that in the description. This means that the second hand does not stop when you lift the crown to set the watch. It loses a few seconds every day so I just reset it every few days when I do my daily wind. This is to be expected from a mechanical watch, especially at this price point. So far, less than 30 seconds in 24 hours seems acceptable to me. I was a bit saddened to see a stain on the adjustment lever spring/yoke cover which, when I spotted it, seemed to catch my eye. I wish they were a little more careful to clean all the details well before sealing the watch. It's purely cosmetic and for the $30 I paid I can't really complain. I also want to thank the Revain delivery service for finding my home (which USPS can't do 75% of the time) and delivering almost exactly on the predicted time. I only had it during the day so I'll update my review. if something changes. Added after 1 week: I've given it a few more turns and just look at the mainspring as I do to make sure I don't over-tighten it and I'm only losing 45 seconds in 3 days now :-)

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • For the old one
