This review is for the Stührling Original Men's Othello Classic Automatic, also know as the Classic Delphi Oracle (107BG.33152) I've owned this watch for about a month, and I think it's a good value for an inexpensive watch. Don't expect fit and finish quality of a watch that costs hundreds or thousands.. You get what you pay for. Pros: * The fit and finish of the watch are nice for this price Range * The blue and white hands and large numbers make for excellent readability * The skeleton movement is fascinating * Not too loud, not too quiet. I can hear it ticking on my wrist in a quiet room, but cannot hear it on the dresser across a quiet room at night. * I love the retro-script font of the dial numbers * The embossed finish of the watch face is elegant and decorative * Accurate enough. Mine runs fast by less than 15 seconds per day when I am wearing it, which is expected. * Nice packaging Cons: * It's big, but not too big. I measured mine with a caliper: 44.2mm diameter, 13.4mm thick. On my 7" circumference wrist, a 44mm dial is about the limit for me. At 13.4mm thick, it just fits under the cuff of a dress shirt. Also, at 7" circumference, I use the second-to-last hole in the watchband to fit the watch snugly on my wrist. * The watch "crystal" is mineral glass (aka Krysterna?). Not very scratch resistant for the long term. * the watch band is very stiff. I'm expecting it will soften up with time. * The reported long-term reliability of this movement is variable. Some have had good experience, others have not. Sturhling calls this movement the ST-90050 Manual/Self-Winding Automatic Movement, which is likely the same as the G3202Z made by the PTS-Liaocheng company in China. Stührling offers a 2-year warranty, but charges twenty bucks for any returned watch. Given this, I purchased an aftermarket extended warranty for twelve bucks that covers everything. Overall, I really like this watch and recommend it to anyone looking for an inexpensive mechanical skeleton watch or gift. But your expectations need to be in line with reality. I picked this up for less than seventy bones. That makes this a fantastic value. It's an interesting casual watch, conversation piece, and work of art. It looks more expensive than it is.
