Watch came last night. Switched alligator strap out for a Harbor strap from Crown & Buckle. I bought a 22mm strap. It's a little tight, but since it's leather it fit just fine. It's hardly noticeable.
tx.bSo far I really like the watch. It's clean looking.
The only complaints I have are minor and mostly cosmetic.
The fonts seem to be all over the place and wish it was more cohesive.
The lugs are 21mm, which leaves strap options a little limited. I am using a 22mm strap because I did not like the default strap.
The screws on the lugs are only there for cosmetic reasons only. It isn't a true lug bar. They also seem to be glued in place without threads, which I also found odd.
Other than that, the watch is great for the money.
I did hand wind it a little, on accident, and it seems a little gritty, but not abnormal.
I don't tend to hand wind watches, even if they have the ability to do so. I'd much rather just give it a little shake and rotate the rotor a few times on it's own. Just a personal preference of mine.
