Classic Reading Watch, Italian Black Leather Band

Beautiful watch, however...The Good:The watch was £89 directly from amazon (keep in mind i didnt buy from third party sellers from amazon) and compared to the retail price of £159 it was a pretty good deal (+ 1star).The watch, as you can see from the pictures is very beautiful. Being a watch collector i cant really comment much about anything else other than the design aspect.As the movement is just a cheap japanese quartz movement (A Miyota 1L22 movement which costs about £5). [The main reason this watch is definately not worth the retail price]I really admire the simplicity of this timepiece. All it does is tell the time and that is it. No other unnecessary features that will obstruct your dial. I find this allows me to tell the time much more easily compared to my other watches. (+ 1star)It is also ultra thin, light and sleek. Definately is an eye catching piece with the shimmering rose gold bezel which reflects light very well.(+1 star)To conclude. Your paying for the design and brand name of the watch. I would recommend trying this watch on in store before buying it. I do really love this slick design and cant wait to see how it holds up against time.The Bad:So upon receiving this watch i found that the plastic wrap around the watch was missing, the screen protector had so many bubbles and MOST IMPORTANTLY the band link removal tool is MISSING!!!!! [Keep in mind all my previous dw watches i bought from amazon did come with plastic wrap and a band link removal tool!](- 1star)[Ive uploaded a pic of all the contents of the box.]Furthermore the band on the watch is slightly defective as shown in the picture. Compared to my other DW watches and exact same straps i already own i found this strap has a couple unusual stretched out wrinkles(can be seen in the pics). So i would have to replace the band for £40.(-1 star)Pretty dissapointed with amazon about these last 2 points. ESPECIALLY about the MISSING CONTENT which i DID NOT RECIEVE.The defective band they sent me doesnt bother me enough to go through the hassle of returning it.So ill probably just buy a new band directly from DW later on.*I will update in a few months time to comment about the quality and durability of the watchUpdate after 16 months:I no longer wear this watch due to the deep large scratch it some how managed to obtain along with other smaller scratches.Considering that iam extra careful with all my watches iam very disappointed. I found it strange as many other watches i own in this similar retail price range have no scratches and look flawless. I only wore this watch a handful of times and always kept it protected inside a watch box when unused.If scratches on the glass would bother you i would strongly reccomend you spend some extra money and buy a tissot ( such as a tissot “tradition” model) which has a significant upgrade in quality along with a sapphire glass which is essentially scratch proof (can only be scratched by diamond) along with a swiss build.However if you are not bothered about quality or scratches and purely just love the design of the watch then just go for it.

Very slim and a clear face. Strap may be too short for most men.

Got the watch at a very good deal (though the price fluctuates a lot - from £75.65 to £120 within a few days). It goes very well with the cuff which I got from DW directly cuz its not available on Amazon. The only reason why I'm giving a 4 is because the leather band isn't as comfortable as I thought... The closing edges of the leather at the back were scratching my skin a little.

Looks stylish classy ... a Christmas present ... hope our 24 year old son loves it ... Dad said he would like one too !!!!

Great watch, feels and look like an absolute premium product, for an incredibly reasonable price
