The watch is exactly as I expected, no scratches or imperfections as far as I can tell. The movement has the perfect level of audibility, it's not distracting or even audible at all in a room with any sort of background noise. But when it's quiet you can hear it faintly while on your wrist and it's still no where near loud when by your ear. The machining is high quality and the leather strap is excellent, the only downside is I have a very small wrist so maybe another hole for strap size adjustment and more closely spaced holes for more granularity as the smallest hole is just a tad loose on my wrist.
