Seiko needs no kudos from anyone, but I must confess that this particular model is a true sensation with its understated elegance. It may be worn any time as its exquisite, ingenious two-tone design makes it a perfect adornment all the way from the beach to a formal reception. The bracelet is long enough for an obese lady's wrist yet structurally set for easy removal of links by a watchmaker so that it may fit a very slender wrist. As for the metal quality, it is also superb. Lastly, one can choose the names of the days to appear in the calendar window in French or Spanish or, of course, in English; perhaps even in German but I am not familiar with that language to be sure.
