“it challenges conventional standards in its build, design and layout. the only negative here was the packaging as delivered to me from the source of purchase. it certainly did not represent a few of the YouTube unboxing and reviews. it clearly appeared that the watch was most likely sent back and repacked for sale again. Also, it is not quite clear as to why the shop uses V2 instead of V64 movement. but, the watch is still proper and i have relayed that to the sender.”
“First, I must confess that I did not purchase this watch from Marc (bought other brands from him in the past). I came across this watch on ebay in excellent pre-owned condition and immediately bought it because of its looks (and the price was too good not to). You get a lot of quality for your money. The fit and finish is fantastic. The bezel is precisely lined up. The only slight negative is the lack of a running second hand register. You get a 24 hour register instead.
Other than that, there's not much to fault. The contrast of the stainless bezel and black dial makes this watch. The onion crown and riveted strap (excellent strap by the way) will remind you of the WW2 Fliegers. The lume is really good and uses C3 Superluminova.
While it obviously won't replace my Sinn 104 or my Tag Carrera, it will definitely get much wrist time.
PS...I cannot find out where these Hemel's are manufactured. The lack of any country stampings on the case and dial point to China but who knows.”
