Ladies & Gentlemen,
This is my 1st attempt in reviewing a watch. And since I can't found many to owning this model, I'll try my best to present it here.
This is my 1st watch since 7 years ago, due to have been afraid of wearing a watch. Whatever brand, cheap or expensive I have owned, all seems to spoilt in just a matter of 1 years time. Maybe its because I have a strong magnetic field or something.
I used to own Casio, Citizen & Seiko. But, this is my very 1st mechanical watch.
I was visiting a famous local watch retailer, for Victorinox AirBoss Mechanical. While the sales representative finding keys to open the display, I saw this model & without any doubt, I asked him to pass this model to me instead.
In just 15 minutes of trying it, I totally fell in love with it & there goes my money.
I decided to choose Victorinox after so many months of deciding (well, I'm really a poor man trying to get a good watch) its because I've been using Victorinox Swiss Army Knives since 1992 & I really love the quality of this company. Not to forget so many recommendations from this site.
Ok, back to the watch (I'm actualy very excited at this watch)

Been wearing it for exactly 3 days now (my local time is 9:37pm, was bought on 9:45pm, 14th September) & the time seems very accurate. It seems to have gained about 10 seconds or so since the 1st day.
For the weight, its quite heavy, comparing to resin, rubber & titanium watches I owned. But come to think of, its quite nice as I do feel its quality, especially its steel bracelet.
The lume, which I regretfully think that its one of the worst. I will try to get a pic of it & upload it here.
As I'm a novice in watches & all my knowledge are mostly had from this site, do feel free to question me anytime & I'll try to answer you as fast as I could.
