This is a perfect watch for every day or special occassions. Big difference in the retail store price of $225. The picture of the face does not do it justice at all. . The chocolate brown is a muted pearlized opalescence. I've never seen this effect before and it is simply stunning. I've seen every Michael Kors watch and many other brands but none of them have this color face. Very unique and special.  I keep using the word simple as the bling is very understated. The crystals by every number and surrounding face are very subtle and give this striking watch  just the right amount of bling. Of course I love the rose gold band. It is a little heavier than most yet it is very comforatble. I would use the word substantial to describe the band.. I only needed one link removed and I have a thin wrist. If you like a tighter fit, 2 links would be more than enough. If you are a rose gold lover like I am, I would suggest looking at Kor's Parker with it's rose gold tortoise band for your consideration.
