I loved this watch as a beginner watch owner! Very comfortable and shipped without any issues, couldn't ask for more... Watch looks great and came with a very handy booklet and plaque.
Unfortunately, there is a dust layer (or something) on the inside of the glass. But still, for the money paid a very nice watch. Reminds of the expensive Zenith Pilot. Nice packiging, the wooden box with booklet and alu card.
The prices that these are on sale for elsewhere is unjustified. It is good value at the price I got it for on Drop. The Faux aged case is not very convincing, the finishing on the face is quite nice but cheap. The plastic movement holder is visible through the case back, a pity because the 8210 movement doesn't call for a display case back, it is just about the most basic movement out there. The watch is very thick, given the small size of the movement it could easily have been significantly thinner.
.....unfortunately, just like MariuszMosz below.....my watch has what looks like moisture or condensation on the inside of the watch. what a pity....!
For $100 didn't expect much, but making the watch impossible to read, naaa unfortunately just not worth it.
Upside, is the dial is beautiful, leather strap is definitely a plus, and the presentation box is better than some much more expensive watches.
I have zero problem with the SeaGull movement, thats what you pay for......but, unfortunately you have to be able to read the time, not through a cloud of humidity?
Too bad, will be trying to send back to DROP.........
EagleSDKudo's to DROP, who gave me a few options to rectify the situation including returning the watch. So I really do appreciate the good customer service. Will buy again without issue.
After opening the box, the watch strap was all dusty but it was the smallest problem. The watch glass on the inside is dirty and the watch cannot be used. I contacted Drop who had contacted Ingresoll. Then I wrote an email to Ingresoll - I got the answer: I need to send my watch to Ingresoll to London and incur additional shipping costs of $ 22: / I'm disappointed with buying this watch at drop.com :(
Reading first opinions (order by date and look to the very bottom) in first half of january I thought it will be completely distaster. I already prepared to sell this watch, even with loss.
But then it arrived. First impression - WOW, I have watches much more expensive and none of them had wooden box!
Second impression - looks way better live, than on pictures. Maybe quality is not highend, but it's ok, nothing to be ashamed. Especially for this price.
Third impression - it's huge! I have maybe two shirts with cuffs loose enough to cover this watch.
Generally good value for money. I'm satisfied.
