Well I've had this one a few days, it isn't perfect but I like it.
Some of it's short comings include a loose fitting bezel, it turns fine and ratchets well but you can grab hold of it and actually wiggle it around the crystal quite a bit. The ends of the lugs are pretty sharp and the whole case could have been machined a little better but it's not bad for what it is.
It won't win any awards for accuracy either it's about +20 a day, supposedly a Miyota but the auto-winder doesn't sound like any of my other Miyotas and it feels different when I hand wind it. The NATO is nice, if a little short, there is barely enough left to tuck into the strap keepers on my 7 1/4" wrist.
The screw down works very well and the lume is ok but nothing special.
I really like the looks of it though and for less than fifty dollars shipped I think it was money well spent.
