I am a mechanical watch nut and the very happy owner of several high-end automatics.  While browsing for christmas gifts, I came across this interesting piece.  I got it on sale (which is the only reason I bought it) and it arrived quickly.

Anywho, the watch itself feels sturdy and comes with two nice straps (they remind me of my old Monaco straps).  This particular Strling uses a Chinese-made movement of unknown provenance.  The paperwork on the movement is severely lacking, but through several trials I can say with some certainty that it has a 44hour reserve (could vary movement to movement, who knows).  It runs a little fast (gained 2 seconds over 44 hours).  The blue hands are quite stunning in person.  The hour notations are a bit hard to read out in the real world (sunlight etc).

The watch has performed better than expected for what I paid ($69.99 on sale), it keeps decent time, and has already acted as a conversation starter on three occasions!  All in all, if  you are new to mechanical watches, just want an interesting piece, and you don't need the certified precision of a COSC chronograph, or the flash of a precious metal showpiece, this is a great place to start!
