The shipping was fast and easily traceable.The mechanism is excellent in appearance and function.The same mechanism is used by Panerai and other brand name companies that cost thousands dollars more than this watch.The mechanism in this watch is much better polished,assembled and decorated than in other brands.The size of the watch ,the quality of the case and band makes it stand out in appearance and value.The dial,however,in my opinion,could be done better design-wise.The quality is excellent but the sunken center of the dial and type of numbers make it look cheap.Otherwise,the watch is perfect!
