Not as I thought
I like the styling, but has a few flaws that you would only know once you've worn it for a few weeks. Firstly the large setting lug.. as authentic as it is (allow pilots wearing gloves to hack the time) is uncomfortable if you are expecting to use this watch as a 'daily driver', the lug digs into your hand unless you wear the watch further up the wrist and prefer to wear it tight. (unfortunately I don't). The strap itself tapers away to a very narrow strap at the ends and given this is a chunky watch, IMHO looks odd. and lastly once fully wound it doesn't hold power for long if not wearing it and require quite a lot of wrist movement to maintain the "Automatic" function. would I buy the watch again? not for the price I paid, as much as I like to look, I'd have been better off with a Seiko or G-shock.. I you are a collector of AVI-8 or aeronautical watch .. probably a lovely watch for you. It is worth qualifying my remarks by saying that I am new to the watch world collection world, this was one of my first purchases and i did leave me somewhat disappointed,


Classic head-turning time piece
Just got this - a terrific addition to my eclectic collection.

Nice Northolt Watch
As usual a great looking timepiece from Avi-8, I now have over 20 in my collection and am always complimented on them whenever I wear them.
