How much did it cost?

I did buy this item and have been very satisfied with its accuracy. However, I do notice that the hand winding mechanism "clicks" after a few rotations. I don't think this is some kind of ratchet that serves to protect the watch from over-winding as it occurs even after the watch has stopped and has no power reserve. Has anyone else experienced this issue and is it a problem - or indication of future problems? Should I simply stop hand winding the watch?

Hi all, I just received by white dial but wasn’t aware that it was polished bezel. There was only the description for the black dial which states it‘s a brushed metal. Can I return it?

Such a good price. Classic design too. The only problem is that this is a 42mm (already pretty big) with 53.5mm lug-to-lug WOW! Massdrop please give us a smaller version, like the 38mm or even 36mm!

Curious if anyone knew if the case back labeling was a peel-away cling sticker or actually printed directly onto the crystal? I'm wishing for the peel-away like I've had with other timepieces. I enjoy the unobstructed view of the movement. Thanks!

What a shame. It looks tacky. Not a dealbreaker I guess since it's the caseback anyway, but when you have a nice swiss movement you'd think you want it displayed nicely. Much of the same writing could be etched onto the case itself.

adamkacenjarA bit late to the discussion but, to add my 2 cents, agreed that the printing on the crystal marred what could be an otherwise beautiful view of the movement. Not that anyone would necessarily want to put the extra work into a brand new watch, but any decent watchmaker/jeweler or even a watch modder could replace that caseback crystal with a plain one without much fuss.

Great looking "plain" watch and at a very good price. But having no warranty isn't a good selling point.

As I found out, quite accidentally, by reading a bunch of threads here on MD, unless a manufacturer's warranty is explicitly stated in the drop page info then there isn't one. An item will be covered only by Massdrop's 30-day return policy. The link with this info is here, go down to the "RETURN POLICY" section. > https://www.massdrop.com/terms Caveat emptor, I'm afraid.

JTrubsAn ordinary shopper would assume an expensive watch comes with a warranty. It would seem that MD deliberately doesn't advertise 'no warranty' in their product listings so prospective buyers won't be scared away. - deliberately misleading. Ebay or Amazon state warranty information in their listings and if their is no manufacturer warranty, an aftermarket warranty is usually offered for a nominal fee.
