“The dark navy dial can look black or blue. Mostly blue. The leather band is a wonderful orange/tan with quick release and it is very high quality. Everything is stainless from the bezel, to the crown, to the markers, unlike on a previous model with gold. Some may worry about the 13mm thickness. The rounded dome helps it slide under a shirt cuff. The thin case itself draws the eye, not the high domed crystal, so it appears and wears much thinner. This crystal will scratch. A little Polywatch and it's brand new. Noise from the movement? A little. These movements are reliable but known to spin. It doesn't bother me and I don't really hear it unless I am trying to make it spin on purpose. This one is a strap monster. I currently have it on an vintage, Italian leather in grey. Great price and outstanding service from LIW.”
