It's been a least 40 years since I've had a mechanical watch and that is what I found attractive about this one as well as the unusual design. I do like this watch but I also have some reservations about it. For instance, the scales are much lighter than what was photographed, the watch face isn't positioned correctly,  twelve o'clock is set toward the crown, it should have been positioned at 9 o'clock.  I have several pocket watched and 12 is always pointing at nine. My last complaint is the large piece of glass, it's to heavy and to open the case the case has to be tilted down a bit. Overall it's still a very nice watch and it does keep time decently, as long as you remember to wind it. A habit I probably will have to redevelop. The face of the watch is exceptionally nice with a micro second hand as well as a 24 hour hand. I don't have any idea what full hunter value means in the description and I'm not that concerned about it.
