I received my watch yesterday - shipping was amazingly fast. I had an Anne Klein bangle watch I wore for eight years or so. Very pretty and delicate with a couple of tiny diamonds. The gold was slowly coming off the bangle after wearing it every day for so long that I was faced with getting a new watch. Let me tell you, I agonized over this decision for about 6 months. No watch was good enough for me. I was not ready to let go of my pretty watch. Well I got an Amazon gift card for $100.00 and decided I was going to get a Citizen. I was very apprehensive because my watch was dainty and I wasn't sure I was going to like a wider banded watch. I have to say, it is very pretty and elegant and you can tell it is a quality product. I got three links removed because the band is generously large. The jeweler took them off in about five minutes. It fits nicely, feels good, my husband loves it. I miss my old watch - I gave it to my sister, but I love the fact that I got this pretty Citizen. I have never had such an expensive watch and I have to admit the crystals are very pretty, the way they hug the face of the watch. I also love Amazon's five year guarantee - that is great.
