Bought this watch just too see what it was like..
I was goofing around online..and found this watch,bought it based on looks and the fact I have wanted a skeleton watch for a little bit. Also,haven't worn a watch with a leather band in about 10 years and I have been planning a Panerai purchase for my next watch so this would help me adjust to the leather band.
This watch is huge...43mm I think..and looks really cool in person. it has a clear caseback(i didn't take a pic cuz its not easy to take off because the band is so thick). We will see how it holds up over the next few weeks as this is the first day with it on. Its an automatic but has no manual wind. Im really impressed with this,esp with the box and info that came with it...I hope you all enjoy!! Not bad for $60 I think! |

So far the accuracy is spot on...although the first couple days it would stop at night when it was in the box ...i havent had to set it in 36 hours as of now and is within a few seconds of the clock i used to set it.
It wears pretty good esp after the band has broken in for a few days,I really can't even tell its on my wrist most of the time. So far so good! |

I've owned this one for several years now and I'm still amazed at it's accuracy, toughness, and luminousity as well.
Regatta002.jpg REGATTA I'm considering this one next. I need a gold watch just for special occasions and didn't want to spend a small fortune... BTW they do come in a variety of finishes including steel. RoseGold2.jpg ECLIPSE II You can get either of these for well under $200.00. Check out Amazon.com. ![]() |

Aww man... I was just advised that the seller I purchased from on Ebay ran out of the watches? Dadgum. Can't find it anywhere else either. May have missed my window.

![]() What I was respondinging to was an off-hand remark by member tripleC. It implied that perhaps this brand was not deserving of this forums consideration. ![]() I only responded to this thread because I like Sturhling and their line and wanted you to know my positive experience with them. Not unlike so many proud Monster owners have done... without sarcastic remarks... and rightfully so. ![]() No one here is "advertising" for any particular brand... just sharing our experiences and enthusiasm for timepieces. And as per usual the smart ![]() ![]() But hey, it's only a watch forum... and I shouldn't have allowed myself to fall victim to a knee-jerk reaction. Maybe it was my bad as well. ![]() ![]() |

I have a large range of watches from cheap to expensive and wear them all at different times. I have looked at these a few times now that I have a positive review maybe I will get one. I also recommend some of the Armitron skeletons, cheap and rugged. I have a couple versions
