what a beautiful watch!  I bought it last month and I really like the way you can see the internal workings of the gears while you're watching it.  I agree with other reviewers in saying that the watch face was a bit large (it took up the whole wrist area!), but that wasn't a huge factor in my decision to return the watch.  My problem with this watch is it just couldn't keep time!  Every morning I had to set the time before I could put on my watch.  After wearing it all day long it kept time just fine, but after I took it off in the evening it would eventually stop during the night.  What good is a watch that doesn't keep time?  I mean, it's a self-winding watch so how long are you supposed to wear it before it manages to keep time for a 24 hour period?!  I'm sorry to say I had to box it back up and return it to Amazon.  Again, the presentation of this watch is really impressive, but if you need to know the time of day it might not be the right watch for you!
