Heirloom Quality Timepiece !
357317
I recently purchased the Stenreiter Twin Bell Silver alarm clock.

This is a very handsome timepiece and is worthy of heirloom status.

The clock is as advertised made solid of metals that just don't exist any longer in todays manufacturing of clocks.

My clock does have a clicking tocking that reminds me of my childhood when I used a windup time clock, have to again get used to this and needs to be a consideration for light sleepers. I can guarentee that not many would sleep through the alarm as it will wake you.

Overall as I have had this clock for more than a week, I wind it nightly and have not had to adjust the time to my digital clocks, so great time keeping.

I give this high recommendations. Nice to see quality manufacturing at a reasonable price !

This is such a beautiful watch. It's almost too nice to wear! I'll start with the band. The band is a very soft leather. It smells and feels very nice. It is beautifully stitches and has a nice classic alligator pattern to it. The buckle is well attached.

The round shaped case with beveled bezel is also beautiful, It is Stainless Steel. The face has a silver colored skeletonized dial with numbers, lines, a big hand, little hand, and second hand in a rose tone. It is a sunray design. it has a small cut out on the side of the face where some of the clocks inner working show.

The watch is automatic self-winding. It is water resistant up to 165 feet. I like the back. The back is clear so you can see the insides of the watch. My husband really loves the watch. He said that it's extremely comfortable to wear. The watch is lightweight compared to other watches he's worn. The watch comes beautifully packaged in a nice box. It includes a polishing cloth and information about the watch.

I find this to be a very high quality watch. It would make a very nice gift with the holidays coming up. I recommend it for anyone looking for a quality man's watch that's sure to impress.

Note: I was able to purchase this at a discount in exchange for my fair, honest, and unbiased opinion. It had no bearing on my review. I tested this thoroughly and formed my own opinions.

I bought this as a Christmas gift after some hesitation.  It arrived today and I am thrilled.  I am giving it to my uncle who is "big and tall."  This is a nice sized watch and looks great on my DH's wrist so I know it will look great on my uncle.  The weight is very nice, it is heavy and  feels like a very solid and well built watch.  The dial is easy to read and sharp.  I agree with the one poster that the red ring around the face is a little cheap looking, it appears to be plastic, but to be honest I probably only noticed that because I had read the prior review.  The watch I received appears to be a prior return -- the plastic face protector was gone, the price tag was torn in half and the was something sticky on the band, but I doubt my uncle will miss the plastic, I wasn't planning on leaving the tag on and it cleaned up easy so it doesn't matter.  I am proud to give this to my uncle!

I'm going to admit right away that I'm an Omega snob.  I've been collecting heirloom quality watches for over 20 years now, and own many $10K+ timepieces currently, and have bought/traded/sold at least $250K worth of automatics in my lifetime.  Omega's are my favorites by far (currently wearing a Dark Side of the Moon edition), although I generally wear a Zenith as my everyday "beater" auto.

This may change now.

I have owned several Hamilton's over the years.  They are reliable watches with good complications that offer high accuracy on a budget.  This is a very good example of their value line of automatics.  The sweeping second hand appeals to the OCD in me that likes to have something visibly moving all the time on the face of the watch.  The markers are clear in daylight use.  The polished bezel on a brushed case and lugs gives this a dressy casual look.  And the black face with brown bracelet (the raised white stitching is very nice!) offer a very good look with jeans or suits alike.  The case diameter isn't so obnoxiously thick as to cause a problem with dress shirt cuffs, and the overall appearance offers the best of all worlds as an everyday, reliable timepiece and mens jewelry.

This would make an excellent gift for a new graduate entering the job market, or for any man/young man that enjoys subtle fashion accents with their practical accessories.

One complaint....the bracelet is very small and starts out very stiff.  While it quickly become supple after a few days wear, I think those with thick wrists may want to look elsewhere.

**Update 10 months later of everyday wear**

As I stated originally I purchased this to be my everyday "beater" automatic.  It's just too risky to wear some of my heirloom watches on a daily basis.  This watch....perfect for the job.

You don't see many reviews of how well a watch ages.  I'm posting a couple of pictures to show you that this Khaki is durable and up to the task.  The bracelet is showing sweat/water staining but I can fix that with some leather care solution to even it out.  The stitching has held up nicely and the bracelet is now very supple.

The face takes a beating without scratching and the bezel shows only minimal wear.  I've worn this 12-15 hours per day in all kinds of weather, performing every task from daily computer work to repairing a lawn mower.

I have noted that this watch tends to gain about 30 seconds per day.  I have to set it back every few days.  But for the money, it's the best automatic I've ever owned below $2500.

Great watch, great value.  I'm raising my review to five stars.

I read many reviews on this watch before purchasing, as I am a watch hound and am pretty particular. The only thing I was apprehensive about was the size. I am a distance runner with smaller wrists for a guy, so I was hesitant about what it would look like on my arm. It did not disappoint! While 50mm in diameter, it is not too big and clunky like a large Invicta. The sea blue is striking and it's very well built. The raised logo on the band is an added bonus and it is sturdy! I really like the screw-down crown at the 4 o'clock position, this allows more comfort on the wrist. It is easy to read, luminous markers and indices, and chrome accent around the date window. Attention to simplicity and detail are what makes this watch. And the case is 316L SURGICAL steel! Most watches are lower grade stainless, but surgical is much stronger and shinier. And the movement of course is a top-notch Swiss Ronda. This is a STEAL for the money - 100% satisfied!!!

This timepiece is incredible!  The face is actually a little darker blue than the picture indicates but that makes it a bit more understated and looks real classy!  Needed to remove two links from the bracelet with the tool kit ($6) and it was in service.  Placed it in the sun for a couple hours, it updated the time and date (battery was almost dead), and I set it to my time zone.  It is heavier than the Titanium Seiko I was using but it is fine.  This is a great value for the money spent.  Looking forward to many years of service from this "wrist computer"!

My husband and I both love this watch!  It's a good quality leather band, and the face is simple yet gorgeous.  The leather piece behind the watch is removable, too, so if it feels too bulky you can just take that piece off!  I bought this as a gift for my DH, but to be honest I wear it just as often as he does!

Typical Amazon purchase experience, Excellent! The Invicta Quartz watch is a great value and nicely finished! It's 39mm size, paired with a NATO web band, make it perfect for my 7 year old Grandson. He is thrilled with the watch, which makes Grandpa very happy!

I was even more delighted when I rec'd the watch, It is even lovelier when worn then in the pictures. Comfortable, a nice substantial feeling without being too heavy. Details around dial & the mother of pearl face are classy without being too flashy.  I really wish it was mine instead!! We took it to a jewelry store to have some links taken out but I probably could have done it myself. [Save extra links so they can be replaced as needed!!]  Came packaged with nice Kenneth Cole box, instructions & registration card. By all initial appearances, this is mid-price range, a quality, authentic K,C. timepiece. I'm delighted with the savings; didn't think I would be able to be able to afford to give such a nice gift. Thanks again amazon!!

This is my first mechanical timepiece and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

This watch has so many details that I've grown to love more and more over the few months that I've owned it. I've never felt luxury like this on my wrist.

 The beautiful stainless steel bracelet doesn't pinch any hairs on my wrist (unlike my dad's Tag Heuer which is quadruple the price.)

I initially thought that 38mm would look miniscule on my wrist because the previous watch I owned is 44mm.

38mm is the perfect size for an everyday watch. It fits under the cuff nicely but still has a decent presence without feeling blingy or showy.

It also has grown my love of the amazing Japanese watch brands that don't quite hold the prestige of their Swiss counterparts. I think my "baby grand Seiko" may yet inspire me to get the real Grand Seiko someday!

This is a gorgeous watch at a great price!  Keeps perfect time, easy to take on/off, easy to read the time, looks more expensive than what I paid for it.  I had to remove one link for sizing which was very easy to do with the included tool. The face is approx 1" in diameter. Definitely recommend buying this watch!

I was completely satisfied with this beautiful purple Timex watch. It looks exactly as it is pictured in the product image, has a nice weight to it, and seems to be made with quality materials typical of Timex. It's a lovely watch and I can wear it with virtually anything! The purple is a surprisingly versatile neutral.

The only reason I am not rating this watch with five stars is that I find the ticking noise the watch makes a bit too loud for my preference. Yes this is just a nit-picky detail, but I prefer a quiet watch... the ticking is clearly audible if you're in a quiet room and it drives me a little crazy!

Watch is very attractive and has a nice weight to it.  Dial is very legible and watch came packaged beautifully!  I hope to wear this timepiece for many years to come! Price was excellent for a quality watch and found best price on Amazon!

This Timex Briarwood Terrace Watch is classy looking and works well! I have a lot of watches (not really sure how that happens) and like to mix up what goes on my wrist from day to day.

Like most Timex watches, this one is good overall quality and should hold up well over time. The face is uncluttered and is easy to read, but be aware that it is not back lit (which is a feature I like in most other Timex watches). Aside from that consideration, this is a great choice for anyone looking for a good casual time piece.

Highly Recommended!

I am absolutely thrilled with this lovely Seiko watch. It is beautiful in appearance, dial-easy to read, and the press-open clasp for the watch band is so user friendly for arthritic hands!!  i can only echo the previous rave reviews that I read before purchasing from Amazon at a mark-price that was remarkable for such a quality item.
