Stuhrling OriginalMen's 129A2.331517 Sportsman Tuskegee Thunderbolt Automatic Quick Set Date Watch

I bought this watch and returned it. It was simply too large. I am 6'1", 230#, so not small, but my wrists are somewhat thin, and the posts of the watch case extended all the way to the full width of my wrist, making it uncomfortable to wear. This watch is a big hunk of metal that is a noticeable weight on the arm. Another complaint is the date window. With about an acre of watch face you'd think they could spare a little more room for the date window. As it is, it's tiny and the date is nearly too small to see. Otherwise, the watch has a good look and it kept perfect time for the short period that I wore it. The band is nice leather. Had I kept it I would have replaced the band with a ss band to match the watch case. The watch hands are not luminescent, rather the orange background illuminates and you can see the hands in contrast.

I fell in love with this watch the first time I saw it! Ive allways wanted a watch with an orange face. And when I saw this one with the pale blue arabic numbers, and markers, and the contrast orange stiching on the band, I said "Ive got to have this one! I own quite a few watches that are a lot more expensive than this one, but the quality and the detail are top notch. This is my second Sturhling and I have been equaly happy with both of them. They look like watches that would cost hundreds, even thousands more. I know that the movement is a cheap chinese one, but they both are relatively acurate for mechanical watches so far almost 1 year for my first one and no issues. The band on this one looks like very expensive leather. Its padded and the leather is very soft and nice looking.

Watch stopped on my arm shortly after I set it according to instructions. Have reset it several times, but periodically the second hand, the minute hand, and the hour hand will stop. I have never had an automatic watch that proved immediately defective. I even tried an automatic watch winder overnight to try to correct the problem, but when I put it on my arm the next day, it stopped after a few hours, and I am constantly moving. Obviously a bad product.

I've been wearing the watch during one week ad here are my first impressions:- overall it looks solid and very well finished- the pale orange dial is really nice while eye-catching- the dial is completely visible in dark conditions. In fact, the orange case is completely enlighten.- the automatic movement is made in China by Sea-Gull (91006 - Sea-Gull ST1612-6)- the accuracy of the movement is quite good, in my case +7 seconds per day- the leather strap looks great and it's very flexible and soft- the buckle is also very well finished- the back cover allows you to see the movement and looks also very well finished- finally, the size (46 mm diameter) is big but not too much big as watches over 50mm

Waste of money stopped working within a couple of months and not worth returning to USA

When I purchased this watch there were no reviews and I was somewhat skeptical as similar reviews complained about inability to keep accurate time. Nevertheless, I decided to purchase and I'm glad I did. Has not lost or gained time in the week I've been wearing the watch and it's good looking which is a plus. Quite pleased. Would highly recommend it.

This is a beautiful watch. Even more so than it shows in the picture. I haven't had a chance to wear it yet but I have looked at it regularly. I saw it a year ago and now finally have it. I picked it up while on a family visit to the states. The visit and the watch were both well worth it.

One caveat: The watch face shown here (the one I received) is unlike any of the eight other faces shown in the instruction manual. It has only two functions - the time and the date, but if you're partial to a combination of the colors of orange sherbet and sky blue, you'll love this large-faced timepiece with it's distinctive and complimentary leather band.
