It’s a great, beautiful watch. Overall looks extremely reliable and is an eye catcher. Only bad things are changing the wristband (the staves are not moving an inch) and the color of the steel wrist band is rubbing of in between the band parts Still that is not deducting any stars overall for me thanks for the watch
Too high for customs taxes Be aware
I had to pay more than 95 euros for this watch for customs taxes in France , it is round 20% of the total price of the watch
Pinecastle Black
This is a nice looking timepiece, of reasonable weight but suffers with a poor power reserve, often less than 12 hours once taken off my wrist. The fabric strap would have been better in leather or nylon fabric, rather than the plastic supplied. Overall, for the money, not as good as the other two watches I have from avi8
A real success!
This watch is really very successful. The idea of celebrating the first supersonic flight in this way is excellent. The design is full of details reminiscent of this legendary plane, like this zero and this six which took me a while to understand! (Chuck Yeager actually reached Mach 1.06 on this famous October 14, 1947), or the balance wheel which takes up the 4 exhausts of the plane's rocket engines. The small model is a very nice plus, even if of very average quality. I installed the orange leather strap, which, combined with the black and orange look of the watch, looks great! Some slight disappointments nevertheless: the metal bracelet is really difficult to dismantle (I managed to do it after a lot of effort); the watch advances by 12 seconds per day, which is pretty decent at this price, but still annoying because it takes more than a minute per week; finally, readability is almost zero in the dark or certain light conditions: for a few euros more, we would have appreciated a luminescent coating. In any case, I don't regret my purchase: this watch is very exciting! Well done!
Great watch !
The watch was exactly as advertised and the presentation was excellent.
