I have to say I am VERY happy with this purchase. It's an early birthday present to myself. I NEVER spend this much on a watch so I wanted to go BIG and get something with not too much bling but would be eye-catching. The ONLY issue I have is that there were no instructions on how to open the "deployment" clasp. But, i got over it once I put the watch on and played around with it. Thank goodness for the internet, I looked up how to open it. I had 2 links removed cost me $4 so I was not mad about that. Thanks to the previous reviews I knew I would have to have some links removed so i was not dissappointed that I could not wear it right out the box. I placed my order on Oct. 10 and recv'd it on Oct. 15th morning by 9:30am. I did not pay for the extra shipping. I will update my review if possible if anything comes up. I added 5-6 pics to the product page to and I hope they are helpful!!!
