As already said, looks even better than the picture on the web site. Move oval-shaped than I expected, but that actually helps with the appearance of this large watch I think.

Takes 10+ minutes to set the moon-phase, but once it's set it should be OK for good .. clever design. The strap is also clever, as you don't need to keep on bending the leather to fit it into the buckle like normal, so it should last much longer. Instructions were a bit obscure, but it's not that difficult to work out.

Some really good reviews for this watch at the overstock web-site :

Just don't see how you could beat this for value, [...] including delivery to Australia.

This review is from: Stuhrling Original Men's 173L.33152 Special Reserve 'Aviator Calendar' Swiss Quartz Watch (Watch)

I bought this watch knowing that it is not made by Swiss gnomes, but rather someplace else with cheap labor. Not to worry as long as it is being made by that labor to Swiss specs. I think it probably is. I really like the watch and don't care where it was made. I wanted a silver moon phase watch and this one looks good, with the hands easy to read. The only fly in the ointment is the band. Once I figured out how to make the band work, the band is no longer a problem. I have never had this type of clasp/buckle before, so this rookie needed instructions. The instructions are the fly, for a rookie using this band. They are bad period. I would rate the watch a 5 star if those instructions were clear. Not sure why they didn't just go with a regular band? I also have given the watch a stern test in wearing it when I golf, and my game requires a lot of strokes each round, it is still working after a months worth of almost daily play. I recommend the product.

This review is from: Stuhrling Original Men's 173L.33152 Special Reserve 'Aviator Calendar' Swiss Quartz Watch (Watch)

I recently accepted a promotion and decided that it was time to get a sophisticated, stylish watch that wouldn't require a home equity loan to pay for it. I came across this watch and liked the way that it looked compared to other watches in the same price range. I was a bit hesitant judging by the pictures that are on the site, but after getting the watch, I must say that I am very impressed. I get more compliments on this watch, and the detail is amazing. It certainly looks much better in person.

My only complaint, which has been stated in numerous reviews already, is the watch band and the lack of instructions. I had never used a watch band such as this one before. Once you use your "logic" to figure it out, it's actually a very nice watch band and one that I would want on other watches that I have. I actually ended up having to "Google" how to close the watch band. FOr those of you purchsing this watch, there are actually two "buttons" on the clasp that you can press and the watch band "opens up." After figuring this out, you only have to set it once and that's it.

If you are looking for a new watch or one to add to your collection, I am confident that you will enjoy this watch. For the price, it's hard to beat!
