Review: a genuine TOOL watch - especially sharp w/ a NATO strap!! - + + + added: new Shark Mesh Bracelet - from desertcart + + + . + +. NEW: PHOTOS ADDED + + + + NEW: 1 YEAR UPDATE - SEE BELOW + + Very nice watch indeed! An automatic is fine, & quartz is too - but nothing beats a quality hand-wind mechanism for a true connection to a mechanical watch. Winding it at the same time each day is a simple ritual & a true pleasure. Mine was initally running about 3 min fast, I understand spec is -30/+60, but apparently they often need a few mo of regular use to settle in so for now I just wind it & reset it - no big deal since I'm winding it anyway. If it doesn't improve, I understand a decent Watch Repair can regulate it, or one can DIY. Some people obsess over accuracy - if that is most important to you - get a nice Quartz - most will smoke multi-thousand dollar Swiss Autos. The HD build quality of this watch is outstanding - I understand the case is triple-chrome on Solid Brass. The base is a superbly crafted stainless steel with a design & finish that you would expect to have to pay thousands for the watch to get. And the Winding Mechanism & Crown Lock feel like they could last a lifetime. Movement is designed & mfg IN-HOUSE too - unlike MOST other brands - even exclusive, multi-thousand dollar ones... Lume is initially good but fades fairly fast, & no lume markers @ 3:00 (common) or 6:00 (?) - I'm not lume crazy & I got use to it quick. This is the smallest case size in my current rotation (this 40mm to 52mm), but it holds it's own & I truly enjoy wearing it regularly & winding it daily. If I could only keep 1 watch from my collection - this would probably be the one. The OEM Black Leather Strap seems sturdy, is perfectly serviceable, & likely would last for many years - but it is a little homely for such a stunning watch. The watches pics truly do NOT do it justice - it is a Real Beauty - I added a tri-color NATO & it really make the Beauty of this watch pop! The dial is like an almost iridescent blue... with a gradual fade - it's absolutely stunning in good light. I understand this bezel design is for a Commander - the cleaner & smoother lines looks great in person (far better then the photos reflect) - leave the timing style bezels to the lower ranks! I got mine from Vladimir @ Boctok - Absolutely Awesome Service, Communication, Packaging & a bonus sweet treat too - definitely one of our very favorite desertcart Affiliates! Simply: Quite Enjoyable & Highly Recommended!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - UPDATE: the watch is now running within spec - & no regulation / work was performed. Also, i upgraded the previously mentioned nylon nato (sharp looking) - to a slightly less sharp - but infinitely more comfortable soft leather 5-ring PVD Zulu. I prefer a wider strap than the stock 18mm - so i went with a 20mm. Fitment is snug - but it went on & i LOVE it! I'm currentlu using Leather Zulu Straps on all the watches i currently wear - because the comfort is supreme. If i was getting it wet regularly - i'd probably use an Italian rubber band, or if occasionally - just swap to a nylon NATO. Admittedly, i'm a bit of a (budget) watch snob (prefer some brands to others) - & decent quality / value, in-house made movements are a real plus. i do have nicer automatics & also super accurate quartz watches - but i still prefer this manual hand-wind best of all. Expensive Swiss Jewelry watches? Each to their own... This Russian Beauty is: Engaging. Attractive. & offers: History. Utility. Value. Awesome piece for what it is - a Real, Genuine - Tool Watch! No poser here! Love it! UPDATE: The photos were added to give a general idea of the look of the watch on various NATO / ZULU Straps. The 2 striped ones are 18mm nylon NATO's. The red one is a 20mm / 5 ring leather / PVD ZULU. The low resolution pics were taken with a tablet & are not the best - sorry about that. Hope they help though. PS. Sure, i could have sprung for the automatic "diver" version of the watch - but i wanted / prefer manual hand-wind - that's a really special "connection" to the mechanical watch. Plus, on a watch of this diameter - i prefer the thinner case.
