- Authentic Link and Pictures- Chrono24
- Quality numeric rating and assessment - 9/10. This watch is beautifully made and is incredibly comfortable to wear. I deducted a point because the bracelet is a little hard to close and was so impossible to re-size that I had to take it to a jeweler (who also had a hard time with it). But I want to go back and again say how incredibly comfortable this watch is. I could wear it all day and barely notice it. It's without a doubt the most comfortable watch I own. As is typical for quartz watches, it has kept excellent time in the week I've owned it.
- Accuracy numeric rating and assessment compared to the auth or factory pic - 10/10. I have a pretty large watch collection, both rep and auth, and I'd consider this a "not worth buying in genuine" piece (as does most of the rep watch world). Quartz movements are the tried and true workhorses of the watch world, and paying lots of money for an auth one is largely not worth it. The face of the watch has beautiful guilloche detailing just like the authentic and since the dial is printed on, there are no issues with symmetry. When I received PSPs, I actually laid them over some photos of the auth watch and the printing on the rep was better. Go figure. The blue color of the crown and hands, though hard to capture in photos, are accurate. The packaging was also really nice, though I've already tossed it because it's just clutter.
- Satisfaction numeric rating and assessment - 10/10. I've always loved this watch but just didn't feel it was worth the authentic price, especially since it wouldn't be a daily wear for me. It's a great piece for dressier situations and for what you get, you can't beat the price of the rep.
- Service and/or Communication numeric rating and assessment. 10/10 with the caveat that I didn't really interact with him at all. This is my third purchase from Andy and all have been without issue.
