I ordered this watch and was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful it was.  Of course, like any watch I buy I had to have most of the links removed.  I took it to a well known jewelry store and saw the same watch priced at $265.00.  That jewelry store refused to remove the links because I did not purchase the watch from them so I went to a place in the mall and was charged $11.00 to have the links removed.  Still quite a bargain all things considered.  I have other Citizen Eco-Drive watches and it's great to never have to worry about the battery going dead. Especially when you are on vacation.  I highly recommend buying this watch and I may just have to come back for another style.  Great job Amazon.
