I have been looking for a black watch with a black metal band and gold trim for soem time, but nothing has appealed to me.  I saw this on a gold box offer and thoughjt I had found the one.  Unfortunately, the watch didn't live up to my hopes and I have returned it. First, not a major point but something folks should know, the trim is plain gold, not rosegold.  Second, and here's the gotcha, the strap is quite short.  I have an average or maybe slightly larger than average wrist.  When I locked the closure, the band was just shy of cutting off my circulation - no room for movement.  I have to remove links on most watches I buy.  Beware.
