This series watch is remarkable. It doesn't matter what color scheme you get it's a beautiful time piece BUT it seems as if either with the polyurethane or metal band you will always have an issue.  I received my watch on Christmas day and I was like a big kid. Very impressed. Get ready for the compliments, at least 10 a day. Many more want to but just stare at it. Now the bad part. The band started splitting at the surface between 2 loops then 3 after one week of wearing. I took it back and got another one. Two weeks later it's happened again. I thought about getting the metal band version but the reviews about pins falling out turned me off especially when it cost at least $60 more. And who wants to deal with rude customer service reps on a bad day. It's going back today.  Pity because its a beautiful watch. They just needed to invest more into the bands. With better bands this watch would've gotten 6 stars.
