My Sternglas Hamburg watch arrived suprisingly quick for it being shipped from Germany to the US. I love slim precision watches and this looks and feels smart and professional. I am an architect and project manager and I really like how this watch projects those attributes. The leather band is supple with the helpful lever to remove it built in as a nice thoughtful touch. My only complaint is that the date surface is set far enough back that the shadow cast onto the number by the watch face makes it difficult for my eyes to make out the number, but maybe that is my eye's fault and not the watch's. In all, I am very pleased with this watch and the value of it at this price point.
