I have always been partial to the "skeleton look" in watches.  It is definitely not for everyone or every occasion, but this one caught particularly caught my eye because of its cobalt blue hands and interchangeable (black and brown) leather straps.  When it arrived I was immediately excited.  The packaging is very classy and would make a great gift because of the presentation alone.  It looks like it should cost about 4x what it was going for when I bought it on Amazon.  For an automatic - it has kept great time +/- one second over a day - I will have to see about how it does in the long run.  A word to the wise about Stuhrling - this is a old brand name that has been revived after closing up shop for a decade or so.  When it reopened the new company is essentially trading on the foreign sounding name and prestige of the original company.  That being said, the watch is very solidly constructed.  The flywheel and mechanisms (which are all visible) work flawlessly.  But, it is unclear where the movements are constructed and assembled - I will let you draw your own conclusions.

Pros
Interchangeable straps
Presentation box
Great look for a skeleton especially with the accent of cobalt on the hands

Cons
Bulky - to be fair this is a trend in watches right now, but the thinner the mechanical watch the higher the quality - this is the only reason it did not get 5-stars.
Will go out of fashion - let's be honest, this is not a timeless watch style.  It will eventually go out of style, but it is great for now.
Must be worn everyday or you will need to build up energy for the mechanism to work - this is a con for all mechanical watches unless you buy a specialty case which keeps the watch moving (and winding) while it is not being worn

Bottom line
I would buy again from Stuhrling.  I almost got my brother a Stuhrling for Christmas because of the presentation factor alone but opted for a more metro watch which is fitting with his style.  Take a chance on this one if you like the style.
