This is my first experience with Jules Jurgensen watches. Overall, it seems to be on par with the quality I would expect at this price. Note: the watch does not have a silver dial and yellow gold subdials (as it appeared to in the OS listing). It is actually a textured white dial (with a subtle Omega Seamaster-like wave pattern) and yellow gold subdials. The luminous hands / markers are also much greener (a lime shade) than they appear to be in the photo. In spite of the fact that it wasn't what I was expecting, the watch is attractive. The matte finished portions show some light machine marks (the vertical edge of the bezel and the sides of the case in particular). The polished portions of the watch are flawless. Overall fit is good, with a few oddities / complaints: 1) the unidirectional bezel has 70 "clicks" (but there are still only 60 minutes in an hour!); 2) There is no adjustment on the fold-over clasp - with 2 links removed the watch is too tight, with only 1 link removed, the band feels sloppy; 3) the shoulders that guard the crown do their job too well (it's hard to pull the crown out and set the watch); and 4) lots of sharp edges (the sides of the case, the bezel and its many protrusions). On a personal note, the links on the band are a little thin, considering how wide and chunky they look. As a result, the band doesn't have the heavyweight feel of a really expensive, high quality timepiece, but it doesn't feel like tin either. I just prefer a heavier feel to the band.
