Wonderful timepiece. Outstanding construction and superior quality, watch band very thick and sturdy. It is a little heavy and the face was larger that what i expected but not in a bad way. It is a very good looking and manly watch that you will be proud to wear. Lock-down crown is a bonus. Bought this specifically to wear at work for night time. Very nice subtle glow comes from the hour and minute handa, no its not bright enough to read a book at night by but there is no problem reading the time at night. Well worth the 300 dollars.
