Although not as flat as it might appear because of a center "bump" below the watch it is still thin.  It does exactly what I want.  Provide a time indication on a thin and elegant watch.  No frills wanted and I got everything I expected.

UPDATE: The stem fell out.  Since I actually do not do anything that would assert such a failure condition I am reasonably certain that it is a flaw in either design or manufacture.  I liked the watch, but since it failed so easily I decided it was not worth pursuing warranty repair.  The band is on one of my other watches now...
