i purchased this watch for my sisters birthday and she loved it.  it looks like a million bucks and the funnniest thing was what a watch repair person said to my sister.  when she took it to a watch repair person to have a couple of the links removed... he was complimenting her on the watch repeatedly.  when she told him this was going to be the last watch she was going to get for a while because she has an extensive collection thanks to me... he said maybe she can get you a range or a car now for christmas or your birthday. ha! ha!... i don't have that kind of money to spend; however, it is great that he indicated to her that the watch looked that expensive... especially when i got it through amazon and it did not break my bank account.
