Rhinestones sparkle brightly(truly crystals); and with the bright gold bezel, together can't be more elegant and fabulous:) Also, I'm petite, 5'2", 97 lbs., but love big (men) watches, this is 1 & 1/2" width and length, perfect big for me:) If you love the Military look, yet want to remain elegant and feminine, well lady you'll love this watch, like I do mucho:) Also, this is my second Geneva, thru Amazon but different seller, still working perfectly; bought Sept. 2011, good product. This seller, Shoppe Watch, a lot cheaper for same kind of Geneva that I purchased in Sept. 2011. Thanks mucho Amazon, and Shoppe Watch.
