Review on Charles Hubert Paris 3865 S Collection Mechanical by Mark Clark

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not nearly as good as in the photo.

Smaller Than Expected: This review is for watches, Roy Rose Jewlery is a wonderful seller. Absolutely no problems with the return. I shopped a long time before deciding on Charles Hubert for the quality and this item for the style. The quality of "assembly" seemed satisfactory, however. Let me confirm that for this model at least, you cannot rely on web photos when it comes to the quality of the finish. Two things were deal breakers. I ordered a case with horse heads on the cover but on the watch I received the design was so faint it was barely visible. The raised pattern seems very noticeable in the photos but not on the watch I received. Only the edges of the clock had a decent curvature. There were almost no horse heads. The second downside is the partially skeletonized dial. Be careful, if your eyes are not very sharp you will not be able to tell the time. This cannot be clearly seen from the photos on the network, but in real life the hands of the clock seem to disappear against the background of the clock. The works don't really look silver like in the photos, they are much darker. With such a thin band on the dial, locating the hand position meant finding only the narrow tips of the hands on the white time band. Not easy to do. Yes, I need glasses, but even with them I still couldn't tell the time when visibility was not ideal. So sad because it looks so beautiful on the internet.
