ErkicWalter Mitt Royal Marine Vintage Steel Automatic Black Unisex Watch, bracelet

I'm really impressed with this watch, it looks fantastic, with its vintage Rolex/Tudor-inspired appearance, keeps great time and I really love wearing it. I'm lucky to also own an Omega, A Tag Heuer, and a couple of Tudor watches, and this is right up there with them. Great value too. Buy one!

I bought this watch on Amazon Italy but because the review was in English they wouldn’t publish it even though they publish reviews in other languages on Amazon UK. I have no connection with the watch company and received no payment or inducement for a 5 star review.I was a little apprehensive about buying this watch as it only seemed to have 5 star reviews and I thought it a little unusual that no one had a moan or gripe about the watch. So instead of going to the website to buy the watch I bought it on Amazon as if there was a problem I could return it easily.If you go to the website you can bespoke the style of the watch (case, colour, dial, etc)Had I done this I would have maybe changed the divers bezel for one with minute markers and possibly the dial a little, but to be honest the divers bezel is only used to time the pasta anyway.I have a Tudor Sub from the early to mid 60’s that I worry about damaging when I wear it, so was looking for something of a similar design to enjoy wearing. The Royal Marine version seemed to fit the Bill, as it is almost a facsimile.The postage was very rapid. Although it was held up for a few days at the curriers 10 miles away for some reason.It was packed in a fairly sturdy and well padded box. Also with it we’re spare spring pins for the strap and a spring removal tool should you need to change or alter the strap.I took a link out and it is very fiddly as the link pins are screwed in to each other so without two screwdrivers turning one just rotated the other. I also lost one screw in doing so. So although the strap is sized for my wrist I can no longer expand it easily. Go to a watch shop if you should need to alter the bracelet size is my advice.The watch is of a similar size to the original. It’s a little deeper but not much. It weighs in at 117 grams with the strap, so it’s not heavy on your wrist. The omnidirectional divers bezel works and feels the same as the original. The lumination is about the same bearing in mind that one is 50 or so years old, so probably has dimmed a little during the time. The pearl doesn't glow but neither does it on the original.It has a nice rapid tick and a hacking movement. The finish I’d excellent. All in all, a very nice watch for the money. I’ve enclosed some photos for comparison. The one on the left is the WMT Royal Marine.

Un orologio veramente ottimo, preciso, bellissimo nelle finiture, un orologio importante ad un prezzo competitivo. Per chi ama i diver vintage un must. Consigliatissimo.
