Quality Watch with a few reservations.

Quality Watch with a few reservations.
This is a quality imitation of a WW2 German Luftwaffe Pilot's Watch. I recommend anyone to buy this watch if they want to, but let me briefly list a few reservations:- The black leather band that this watch comes with is *solid* and very well-constructed. Despite this, as other reviewers have pointed out, it is inauthentic to history. The original WW2 Luftwaffe watches had rivets and white stitching. This band has black stitching on the front and white stitching on the back. I don't understand why they just didn't put white stitching on the front and attach some rivets. Because I am a stickler for authenticity and a bit obsessive, I purchased a 20mm "Tech-Swiss" pilot's watch band which has the white stitching and rivets. Unfortunately, while attempting to replace the watch strap, the buckle fell off of my pilot's band and I simply could not attach the spring-bar into the lugs. Tomorrow, I plan on taking it to a watch shop to get the pilot's band put on.- The second hand is black and is very difficult to see on the face's black background. Laco watch-hands are white and outlined in blue, and Chinese reproductions usually follow their example. I currently own the Seiko SNK809 field watch which is loosely based on this type of German vintage "B-Uhr" pilot's watch, and I own a 55mm Parnis "Big Pilot" watch which is an imitation of a German pilot's watch with an "A-Uhr" design (lacking the inner circle with 1-12 numbers). This Mil-Tec watch is a "B-Uhr" style design (i.e. with an inner ring on the face containing the numbers 1-12 inside).- This is a quartz battery watch whereas most Luftwaffe watches are automatics. You can tell by the way the second hand "ticks" around the face rather than sweeps.- The stainless steel case looks tarnished, giving the appearance of having been aged by smoke. It does not look polished or brushed. Luftwaffe watch cases had a "matte" finish that was neither tarnished, nor polished. With imitations that for whatever reason do not use the "matte" look, I would prefer the stainless steel be polished and/or brushed.All in all, this watch is very good quality for the price, I just wish they would update the leather watch band and watch hands. Keep in mind also that I just received this watch, so I cannot comment on its longevity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well built watch. Solid construction, authentic and attractive. 5-star watch, but 1-star strap.
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2022
I love the watch. Fantastic re-creation with very authentic WWII flieger design. Watch is really much more solid and well constructed than I expected. I own 6 watches, some more expensive than this, but this one feels as good as any. I wish they sold this in an Automatic - I would pay the extra. However, this Miyota Quartz movement is pretty high quality. The strap however is a disaster. Thick leather-coated foam pad strap is hard to get clasped and is very uncomfortable. But the strap really doesn't bother me much as I almost always upgrade the strap anyways. Replaced it with a nicer brown leather Barton strap that I had on hand - see pics. With strap upgrade, a very, very nice watch!
