Review on Vintage WWII Military Watch - Swiss-Quartz Movement, Genuine Leather Strap, And 10 ATM Water Resistance. Ideal Memorabilia For History Buffs. Men'S Watches For A Lifetime. by Andre Tenk

Revainrating 3 out of 5

overall intent great but let down by the details

Shopped around for long while for an affordable flieger type b watch. Thought I found the best historical replica with your watch. The case design is spot on, with all the proper engraving from the German spec. The strap is likewise well done and representative of the type, love the bronze rivets and the leather seems good. The dial, though accurate in font and proportions falls flat when the lights go out. The lume on the hands stands out only because it's so poor, fading after ten minutes or so. The dial has no lume at all! Lume was a specific requirement for these watches! Why make an historical watch and not get the most important details correct? I got this watch to use, not just to look at on a shelf, but I'll have to swap to another come evening, sad. You say with pride " Swiss Ronda movement", but a cheap ten dollar Swiss movement is still just cheap and thus lackluster. Why not a nice high beat quartz that are still inexpensive or a manual? Back to the intent of this spec of watch, ie ; super accurate, easy to read day or NIGHT. Hope this review helps you refine your product to make it a truly worthy historical watch.
