I've been waiting for my review to make sure it is a good timepiece. This was 7th watch in collection, I have 2 Stuhrling's and from all the reviews I've read they have a bad rap. That being said I love the Stuhrling's . They r works of art. Very beautiful , also they r very complicated. So if u want one of the most complicated, beautiful works of art on your wrist buy this. I've looked at thousands of watches on several web sights from all different price ranges. I do believe this and Akribros XXIV r the most beautiful and very inexpensive. I think u could spend thousands of dollars and only get a name. This is very impressive watch well worth what I paid for it, got great deal on pres day sale. The krysterna crystal adds depth to the face it magnifies the workings, making it a pleasure to glance at it. The dual date is very easy to set , small dial first counter clockwise then large dial clockwise . Just pay attention and don't go past the correct time. It is the most accurate watch I have as near as I can tell. There is no second hand but the flying gear keeps track of seconds but is divided into thirds. I believe it to b within a few seconds a week. After wearing 8 days it came to a stop, I thought here we go . I noticed watch to b fully wound, as the 2 mainspring's r visible from face. Then when I went to reset time there was slight pop I could feel , then it began running again. I thought perhaps it was overwound which I beleive. I let sit for a couple days then tried to wind which it would not do (it was still running). U could wind the crown but the gears that turn spring did not move I thought it was broken.Then next day it was perfect again. I do believe it is over wind protection. I wear watches 24 hours a day and I think Stuhrling's run better if u let them unwind at night while u sleep. I have no trouble with the lumenesence it last all night. There is at least a 60 hr reserve. Very stunning, hope this is helpful.
