I have had this watch for 2 1/2 years. I have worn it very often. It still looks great. It keeps excellent time and is very dressy. A friend at my church saw it and was impressed. I took it off my wrist and let him examine it. He was nothing but impressed with it. Here's the kicker:  this man was in the jewelry business for 40 years. His store is the licensed Rolex dealer in our city. When I told him what I had paid for it, he told me I got a great deal on a quality watch. He said it is obviously very well made. Keep that in mind if you want to order this watch. I think you will be very pleased.
