The watch is handsome and heavy, like real heavy as all the bracelet links are thicker than most and are solid, not folded over, and the SS case is 15mm thick--I like the feel of this watch on my wrist---It's a gentlemans watch that's not too dressy---the face is uncluttered, easy to read except for the date near the 4 oclock position as it is small----The watch is even more attractive with polished screws on the lugs and even a "Reserve" polished logo on the 9 oclock exterior side of the case; this is not for a battery---At 45mm in diameter the watch is just the right size for a 7 1/2 inch wrist with out looking like a wrist mushroom, and the band is handsome, wide, with polished sides, matt top, and  very easy to size---I removed two links in about two minutes--- The clasp is very impressive with a two button butterfly dual release and is even jeweled on the inside which is a hand done operation---It is my favorite Invicta, and Invicta's aren't my favorite brand because of the hit or miss quality and poor customer service----I even bought a second copy of this watch, first white face, second blue, and I usually only buy automatics, not quartz, as automatics just fit my style, and I like to see the sweep second hand flow smoothly around the dial, not spasticlally jumping from second to second----The watch is Swiss made, not Swiss parts, and this fact is obvious with just a cursory inspection--This fact is also stated on the face and screw down rear cover; it even has a serial number!!!--Quality through and through that most Invicta's just don't have under close scrutiny---Crown and pushers are also screw down, great for water protection----The only thing I would change on this watch is the bezel, as it has a black rubber surface that is literally impossible to read, as the numbers are barely proud of the surface and not a contrasting color----All in all I just like to wear this watch as a heavy duty beater, as it just feels good, and I've got well over forty watches to choose from, and again most of my watches are automatics, mostly Orients--If you like quartz watches buy a copy as I think you'll really appreciate the effort that went into the design and assembly of this watch---But remember, you can always buy a quartz watch that will be just as accurate, maybe not as pretty, that will last as long, for around $7.95 at the "Mart"----Good luck
