About Vintage1815 Chronograph Mens Watch, Stainless Steel, Analog, Waterproof

I opened the box with the watch in the evening and while I liked the appearance of the watch, I wasn't as pleased as I was of the picture on the site.Then this afternoon, while outside, I looked at the watch, and Bingo! -- it's what I hoped it would be.

As a small collector of 11 watches, I will say without fear of contradiction, this is the most beautiful wrist watch I have ever seen. I bough the rose gold model and I simply cannot stop staring at this thing. Everything about it is precision made and I would compliment the manufacturer for doing such a superb job. It tells great time and the chronograph is smooth and a thing to behold. One note only that is not really a negative but should be mentioned. The two main hands are very delicate. I love them but if you have failing eye sight, you might have a bit of a problem seeing them. I am still amazed this watch is under $400.

The media could not be loaded. The watch looks so great! It’s so smooth and just looks like a very classy aviator watch. The quality I feel like is worth every penny seeing it in person looks like this watch came from such a high in designer. However I love that it was affordable. This is my boyfriend’s birthday watch and I’m so happy and am pleased with the appearance. And it seems to work great so far not 100% sure bc I stopped it so that it will be ready for my boyfriend to use to his pleasure. Also it came super quick only waited 2 days.

I wanted it in gold. I ended up reordering it in silver

No es un reloj bien acabado

This is a beautiful watch but, in our opinion, it is a bit overpriced at its current $349 price point on Amazon. It has a nice band but not any nicer than the $129 Invictus he already has. It says it's waterproof but we have no intention of purposely testing that theory. The face is a lovely rich color. He selected the green face. The crystal looks super thick and almost has a bit of a convex shape to it so that if it's turned to a slight angle it can make the face appear a little blurry. It just takes a little getting used to over a standard flat crystal. The presentation box is absolutely beautiful. The design is classic. All in all, it is a great watch and appears to keep good time.

Something is not right and it's driving me even more bananas because it just looks like the watch has a dead battery. I don't like itMy initial impression of this watch is that it is beautifully crafted, and will be a quality watch that will last me forever. Unfortunately, there's one slight issue that I have which is driving me crazy and that is the chronograph function. You cannot leave the chronograph running over 24 hours or something gets damaged on the inside and the second hand will never return to the 12 o'clock position ever again. I suspect one of the gears teeth end up getting bent to the tune of one second off each time the chronograph continues to run. I left it on twice and now the second hand is off by 2 seconds, even if you reset the chronograph the second hand does make a full revolution but it stops 2 seconds past 12 which it did not do out of the box. It was perfectly centered at 12. The first time I left it on it overshot by 1 second and wouldn't return. I left a chronograph on a second time, and it again offset by an additional second. Which is why I'm saying it stops at 2:00 after. Mechanically The rest of the watch works perfect, it keeps time, it keeps the calendar, but that second hand not returning back to 12 is messing with my OCD brain so much it's torcher!It took some getting used to for the second hand not to function as an actual second hand for the clock. It's actually below in one of the center dials which you can see from the picture, I'm just used to that being a function of a chronograph in every other watch and not the actual second hand for the main clock face. So it's weird seeing that second hand stay at 12:00 meanwhile the rest of the hands are accurately keeping time. I suspect that crossover and functionality has something to do with why my second hand is not returning to 12:00 after the chronograph is reset and turned off. Truthfully I really wish I could exchange it for a replacement and for the manufacturer to see what might have caused this in case they need to make some corrections to future watches in this lineup, but we're not allowed to reach out to the seller in this program unfortunately so I don't really have a choice but too keep it and review as is.If the seller would like to exchange this though I'd be happy to update my review. Like I said I think I just have a defective version because the build quality of this watch is amazing. The band is soft and it fits really well as well as does not leave any discoloration when the leather gets wet. It is the perfect size to go over your wrist without feeling like it's too big, it really just feels like a nice elegant classy timepiece for any occasion. As you can see every other review is a five-star review so I suspect everybody else's version is working just fine and I honestly would recommend the watch to anybody even though I gave it three stars, that is just my personal experience with what I received. I attached a video of what it is doing for reference. As you can see in the picture, it doesn't even fully return to the 2nd position.

Pro: it looks good - I like blue hands - and comes with sapphire crystal.Cons:- Design of the chronograph would fail at any other company - because the minute hand and chronograph hand are almost identical.- The second hand and it's corresponding second markers do not line up - which would not pass at most watch companies.- There's zero lume and watch can't be used at night- The angle of the lens is extreme, and glaresAt this price, you could get an automatic Swiss watch...
