This watch is almost as described but certainly looks darker in the face than the pictures indicate. It has (had) a bar over the winding mechanism which is (was) secured by two screws. Within a day or so of receiving and wearing the watch one fell out and before I got a chance to secure it I had lost both plus the bar, never to be seen again. Careless maybe but I would really like to get replacements. The watch can get away with it but feels incomplete. It keeps excellent time and as per other reviewers this is a chunky and weighty piece and has attracted many positive comments. I sent some feedback about the missing bits to Amazon but so far no response. If I can get the parts I am happy to have them fitted including loktite to secure them for the future. Hear from you soon, Amazon.
