I let a little girl pick out my new watch for me while I was shopping on Amazon, and was I delighted!  The face of the watch looks a but like mother-of-pearl, and the numbers are arranged in a creatively different way.  The gold tone is just beautiful and the band looks like liquid gold.  I do not like tight bands, so I always stick with expansion bands because I have small wrists and always end up with something far too big for me, but that's better than too tight.  This band is perfect!  It is just a bit big on me the way that I like it, but fits just well enough that it stays in place and doesn't ride around all over my wrist.  No pinching or pulling!  The watch is very feminine and is big enough to easily read, which is always a concern for me when I'm not wearing my reading glasses.  TImex has gone very fashionable on this watch.  I hope to have it for a very long time.
