I collect unique watches and so I was delighted to identify the Stuhrling Men's Skeletonized Watch on Amazon and other sites. The watch is indeed beautiful and it's fun to see the inner workings of this automatic watch. The leather grained band is attractive, but a bit stiff. A softer, more pliable leather would have been preferable. The most surprising thing about receiving this watch was the lack of any detailed operation manual. Since this was my first automatic watch, I had to place a call to Sturling Customer Service to learn how exactly to get it started, how much to wind it, etc. For a fine watch like this, it should come with a manual that would take the guesswork out of its operation. Amazon's price was the very best anywhere and the delivery time was exceptionally quick. It's a fine watch, especially for the price. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, unique timepiece at an affordable price.

Hi hi,

br /perfect skeleton watch. Stuhrling is good brand. Good quality, on time delivey.

This is an outstanding watch. I had been searching for a skeleton watch and when I found this one I thought this was the one I should make mine. One of the things that made this watch appealing to me is that it almost looks nautical, like a ships wheel. I also liked the rose gold. It was given to me as a birthday present a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't be happier. It is an great value for the price. I wondered if I would need a winder with this watch but after two weeks it seems to keep perfect time just by my own movement.

br / This is a watch that demands/commands attention. I've gotten quite a few positive comments on it from people who know me and some who don't. I've been stopped by strangers who wanted to look at the watch. Though I've always been one to check the time frequently throughout the day I've found myself checking it more often just to gaze upon the beauty of this watch. Beauty...when my wife and children saw the watch they said it was beautiful...then quickly change it to "handsome" since it is a man's watch. My 21 year old son stated he wanted it as an heirloom when I tired of it.

br / I was speaking with my wife yesterday and metioned it reminded me of the story "The Give of the Magi" that Lorne Green used to read...the man of the house in the story had a beautiful watch that had been his father's but he didn't pull it out to gaze at its beauty as often as he could because he only had a worn leather strap on it rather than a nice chain. I don't have that problem with this watch. I look at it often and enjoy watching the works inside. The crocodile leather look strap is attractive.

br / Overall, as I say, I am very pleased with my purchase and would highly recommend it. The only downside (as metioned in some other reviews I've seen) is that the hands on the dial are sometimes difficult to see since they are the same color as the rest of the watch. Perhaps in later models they could use a different shade of gold or make the dials stand out in some other manner. Even with that I am quite pleased with this watch and proud to wear it!

A lovely watch delivered quickly and just as promised. It's a great conversation-starter and works well dressed up or down. A very fine purchase.

You'll get a big bang for the buck with this watch, it's absolutely beautiful with its Rose Gold case, visible movement, and high mechanical accuracy. If I would have paid the full retail price for it I would still be happy, I consider this a great watch for the price, and the quality is impeccable. Yes, there is a slight degree of attention needed when reading the watch due to the hands blending in with the mechanical assembly behind it, but this is a minor concern to me which is more than offset by the gorgeous detail of the visible inner workings. At first I was a little apprehensive about this type of watch, but after examining it closely I'm really glad I decided to order it. So if you're thinking about this watch but just not sure like I was, just order it because when you see it, you'll be glad you did! Be prepared to receive many good comments about it too!

I ordered this watch because I collect skeletonized watches and because Stuhrling has such a high reputation for quality. I was so impressed with this watch when it arrived, the only thing keeping me from ordering it in every available color is my wife. Based on this watch, I highly recommend Stuhrling watches to anyone.

Up front, I have never really owned a watch of any real style or quality so I don't have a lot to compare this to. I've always been the Timex or worse "generic" watch kinda guy. But while surfing Amazon I saw this watch and the reasonable price and decided to take a chance on being "fashionable". I'm impressed! This watch is sweet looking, substantial and just all around impressive. I haven't owned it long enough to comment on it's time keeping qualities, but barring a major problem, I couldn't recommend this watch enough.

br /Being a watch neophyte, I didn't realize that "automatic" in the description meant it winds itself by the movement of your wrist. Now I do. It has a cool little weight in the back that you can see swinging around as you move your hand.
br /
br /The only ding I would have for this watch (and I didn't remove a star for it as it's personal and minor) is that the watch hands do not contrast well with the workings. This makes it difficult to read the time in anything but good light.
br /
br /Other than that, if you're looking for a fine watch, this one is very nice!

This is a really great watch. Skeleton watches are very much in fashion now so there are a lot out there to choose from - why this one? - This watch is very well made and shows off a lot of detail both front and back. Paired with an excellent strap that compliments the rose gold finish. If you want a watch that starts a conversation then this is for you!
