Unboxing the piece was an experience on its own. The packaging ads more value, and it excites the dopamine in your brain when hinging it open. I was really blown away by the detail of this watch, and it seriously looks better up close rather than on the web. It's quite bulky an heavy when holding it in your hand, but that weight strangely disappears when it's clipped on your wrist, and the size fits the design and feel. The mechanical pieces displayed in the front and back, is what makes it so appealing. One small critic I have, is that the numbers are a bit hidden away at the outer edge and difficult to see when indoors. The processing and shipping from the US happened instantly. Probably the fastest processing I experienced with e-commerce thus far, but I did get a small delay due to my country's customs that held it back for regulatory reasons. It's my first Stuhrling watch, and I'm a lifetime fan already.
