I purchased this item for a gift for my mom.  My dad had bought a watch just like this years ago and it was lost.  I was so excited and thought it would be perfect and I wanted to get it ASAP because I feared that they would run out of stock so I purchased it right away.  Anyway, we gave it to her and she cannot see the roman numerals.  They are very faint and one could not tell this in a close up picture online.  It is portrayed better in the picture.  I would not have had such a big disappointment with this item if I would have been able to return it.  I guess if you buy gifts on amazon they do not let you return them after 30 days unless you want to lose a bunch of money on the deal and return the perfectly brand new item (which they will then sell again for another profit later).  Needless to say I cannot buy another watch for my mom because amazon will not let me return this one for even full online credit for a better one on their site that she would actually be able to use.  So now we are are stuck with a watch that she cannot see.  DO NOT BUY GIFTS WITH AMAZON!  TERRIBLE RETURN POLICY!
