This is the last watch I received, not bad for $70 and when I'm very disciplined about winding it, it picks up about a second a week. Just about everyone who has seen it looks at me like I'm loony tunes, but I love it. Plain and simple, it is just about my favourite present ever. I plan on not having to buy another watch for a really long time, which is what it really comes down to. If you don't get this watch, are you going to be eyeing it for years regretting the watch you did get? If you can afford it and it's really what you want, go for it.
