Bertucci A-11t Americana: First impressions

Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a watch.

Decided on the Bertucci because it’s a US brand which actually assembles in the country (as an American, that’s some kind of special), it’s a durable material (Titanium), and it uses a US movement. Here are the first impressions:

Pros:

Good size (42mm) on a 7” wrist

Great materials (Ti, Sapphire Crystal, Metal Movement)

Great specs (200m WR, Screw down crown)

Cons:

Finishing isn’t exactly pretty. Actually around the lugs are pretty bad

Strap is a love it or hate it (Stiff but definitely won’t get ruined)

Flat dial isn’t for everyone, but it’s not bad

Overall, a good purchase. I rather buy from an American micro brand that supports American industry than an “American” brand like Timex or Hamilton that don’t do crap in the US other than sell their watches. Ameriquartz movement is a bit of a novelty but again, US pride and all that

Looks great 👍🏻

Do you have more pictures of the details and finishing, case back, and fixed spring bars?

I've been considering one of these but I couldn't find good pics anywhere (their website is pretty minimal).

Tried to get the finishing in between the lugs, but camera wouldn’t cooperate. Already got a scratch on it (Whoops) but because it’s titanium, it just polished it a bit

I expect this it be a watch that looks better the more you scratch it
