I've been shopping for my perfect watch for years.  I found it.  Not only is the watch heavy-duty but gorgeous.  All one has to do is read the specs to know the size and weight of this timepiece are bigger and heavier than your average ladies watch.  Since I'm a tall gal the size of the watch works well for me.  The name alone should be a dead giveaway that this isn't a petite piece. I could probably stand to have a few links removed but, for now, I like the "bracelet" fit.  The face of the watch I received is darker, or more black than it looks in the pictures but still has the incandescent look of mother of pearl. Really beautiful and I'm thrilled!
