This is a very heavy and large-than-I-expected watch and I really like it. I've seen it currently for sale on the Formula One web site for close to US $600. I'm definitely impressed with the quality and craftsmanship -- this watch does get noticed due to both its design and the larger-than-normal size. The crystal seems to be very scratch resistant. I have an active lifestyle and, after 4 weeks of wearing this watch, I cannot see a single scratch or abrasion on the face. Two minor problems with MY watch though --- there seems to be a little "fog" or "haze" inside behind the crystal, and the second hand is not well-aligned with the second divisions on the face. I might have to send this back and either repair or exchange it --- it's too nice of a watch to suffer with these annoyances and it was NOT sold as a "factory second" so I would like those annoyances fixed. I highly recommend this watch, especially at the price offered here on Overstock.
