I had heard of Tapferkeit by accident but once I saw the dial on the Freiheit Automatic I had to order it. James was a pleasure to work with, extraordinary customer service. The fit and finish of the watch is excellent. I live in America and had no issues with customs. Just perfect. The clean style is beautiful with all the strap options, ended up ordering two more straps the navy and black. The mesh strap it came with is very nice. Overall I think this is the best value I've ever seen in an affordable watch. Thank you James!
