I own a little more than 30 watches, and this one is one of my favs. i love the thick sturdy leather strap, along with the face. Doesn't feel too heavy or bulky on the wrist. I have gotten numerous compliments on it. it's a men's watch but it looks wonderful on my tiny wrist, I get compliments from both men and women each time i wear it. Some have asked if its a breitling. I don't wear it everyday , but so far its been a great purchase and worth the cost.
