My husband got me this watch last Christmas (2011).  I was so excited and thought it was beautiful.  I am a nurse and wanted something that showed military time yet looked a little classy.  I only wear it for work and I only work 1 or 2 days a week.  The outside of the band quickly started to turn a greenish color and since that time I have lost many of the stones surrounding the face of the watch. I am one that takes very good care of my jewlery and I am not rough on it as this watch appears.  It still works good and I can't complain about the function of the watch.....only in how it has turned out to look (which is why I wanted it!).
