Just got this yesterday and I have to say it looks even better live than it did online. The sun-ray dial face reflects light in different ways depending on the angle and light and overall it's just gorgeous. The moon phase is very cool and one of the main reasons I chose this model. The oval shape is also unique and I love the slightly raised numerals that give this watch depth and dimension.

It DID take a while to set, as other reviewers have indicated. Suggestion for Stuhrling - why not ship this watch already set to the full moon on the phase complication. That way all the consumer would need to do is to set the date of the last full moon and then advance to the current date. It did take me about 20 minutes to set this watch. That's a LOT of crown spinning!

My only issue is that the numbers on the date complication are so small that they are very difficult to read, even with brand new glasses. Minor detail - Honestly, I usually know the date anyway - I just like the way it looks :), but if this is a consideration for you, you may want to think twice.

As someone else said - full disclosure - Stuhrling extends your warranty by a year if you review on Amazon, but they DON'T specify that it has to be a good one. I would have reviewed it and given it five stars regardless. It's gorgeous and an instant favorite among my collection!
