To me, though, it felt as if the band would start to develop cracks in it if it was worn regularly, since it was so stiff.The watch takes a little getting used to, not having any hands. Not a big deal to me, since I changed it out anyway. The inside of the band is leather, but the outside I''m not convinced is. Since doing that, I''ve not had any problems.It comes with a 'leather' band. It is self-winding, but I always give it a few winds when I put it on and usually a few more once or twice a day. In either case, make sure you keep in wound. I think maybe the watch I sent back was fine, and it was operator error that didn''t allow it to keep time properly.
In hindsight, I was not used to a watch that you had to wind, as this watch has no battery. I followed the instructions carefully, and even called customer service, (they were very helpful, by the way) but to no avail. The first one I received I ended up sending back because it would not keep time. I''ve had this watch about a month or so now. Get yourself a Stauer.you''ll never regret it. It was the best Christmas present I''ve ever received from my wife. This watch is a fine piece of machinery and it will be the last watch I''ll ever buy or wear. The two-year warranty is fantastic, but I doubt I''ll ever use it. I look equally good wearing my Stauer watch whether I''m working outdoors, or whether I''m indoors attending a formal function. Other expensive watches of the same caliber are only worn on special occasions and usually only indoors, but my Stauer watch stays with me no matter what I''m doing. I work outside and it''s so nice to be able to wear such a unique and beautiful watch in all kinds of weather without the fear of it being damaged. I hunt alligators so the accompanying alligator band was like the icing on the cake. Everyone wants to look at it and asks how it works.
Seems like everyone has a Rolex these days, but the limited edition Stauer is a much rarer find. I''ve had a lot of watches in my 48 year old life, but none quite as nice and elegant as my new Stauer 1930 time piece. The 1½" case is complemented with a black alligator-embossed leather band. True to "Machine Art" aesthetics, the sleek brushed stainless steel case is clear on the back, allowing a peek at the inner workings. The Stauer 1930 Dashtronic- deftly blends the modern functionality of a 21-jewel automatic movement and 3-ATM water resistance with the distinctive, retro look of a jumping display (not an actual jumping complication). With its striking resemblance to the dashboard gauges and radio dials of the decade, the jump hour watch was indeed "in tune" with the times! In lieu of hands to tell time, one such complication, called a jumping mechanism, utilized numerals on a disc viewed through a window. It was also a decade when an unequaled variety of watch cases and movements came into being. Industrial designers from the auto industry translated the principles of aerodynamics and streamlining into everyday objects like radios and toasters.
The 1930s brought unprecedented innovation in machine-age technology and materials. Time travel at the speed of a 1930s Speedster?
