This watch was purchased as a Xmas gift. I was expecting to get a high quality
 well known brand name (SEIKO) and the literature seemed to match my expectations.

 However, although the watch itself seems to be a fairly good timepiece, the link
 bracelet that came with the watch is far below the standards that I would expect
 to be associated with a SEIKO watch. It is cheaply made, diffcult to adjust and
 simply painted gold on the TOP of the gold links. It appears to be of very poor
 quality and is difficult to snap closed .  I have seen better quality on  TIMEX watch bracelets sold at Wal-Mart for $49.99 .
